Family skiing apartment at the heart of Paradiski (Vallandry/Les Arcs)

A very well-equipped apartment to rent in the French Alps resort of Vallandry. Nestled between Les Arcs and La Plagne, in the spectacular region of Paradiski, you can enjoy superb skiing in the winter, and a variety of walks and outdoor pursuits in the summer.

Conveniently situated within a two minute walk of the village centre which has an excellent choice of restaurants, ranging from takeaway pizza places to à la carte, offering local Savoyard specialities, plus a selection oflively bars, some of which host live music and dancing. Vallandry has a supermarket, plus patisserie, boucherie and charcuteries, as well as several ski equipment and hire shops. Bourg St Maurice has three large supermarkets.

The apartment balcony which faces South-West, has stunning views of Mont Blanc to the north, and the Bellecote glacier to the south, make this apartment in Vallandry a superb location to spend your that special summer or winter holiday. The Vanoise Express cable car is 300 metres from the apartment.

The apartment, which is part of the Crêt De L'Ours complex, is a comfortable 48m square, and sleeps six adults or two families, with ease. The apartment is very well equipped for self catering.

In winter the resort has great all round appeal. For experts the exhilarating black and red runs down from the Aiguille Rouge glacier represent a serious challenge. The Peisy-Vallandry ski area also offers great beginner and intermediate skiing, without the queues which can build up in other areas. Les Arcs is a snowboarder paradise, with the famous Olympic runs and board park at Arc 1600.

Situated just above the main Vallandry 10 person telecabine, and just below the fast six-man Grizzly chairlift, the apartment is ideally positioned to allow ski in and out access for the majority of the winter season.

There is plenty of summer fun to be enjoyed in Les Arcs and Vallandry. In summer, there is immediate access to the upper and lower slopes, where there is a huge variety of marked trails of differing lengths and levels of difficulty, which can be explored on foot or mountain bike. For those who want even more adventure, there are lots of activities to choose from nearby. For example there's hiking in the Rosuel National Park, parapenting, canyoning, white-water rafting, cycling, horse riding, via ferrata, tennis, golf, archery, parcours, and a road cyclists paradise.



The apartment has very effective wall heaters, and we have additional heating for very cold spells. Downstairs the apartment has a spacious lounge/diner, with an open fire, futon, dining table and four matching chairs. There are additional fold-away chairs which can be used inside and on the balcony in fine weather. There is a wide selection of games and books for use by guests. The kitchen is well equipped, with combi oven/grill and microwave, four ring induction hob, kettle, iron and ironing board, dishwasher and fridge. Downstairs has an additional room with futon, which converts to a double bed.

There is an open fire in the corner of the lounge which burns logs, available locally.

The downstairs bathroom has a bath with shower attachment, and a separate WC. Upstairs there's a shower room with shower, sink and WC.

Upstairs has two bedrooms, four bunks in one, and a double master bedroom. There are also two single futons on the mezzanine, for unexpected visitors. We also have a TV for watching DVD's.
