Chalet Cedar

Details of the Chalet

When you arrive at Chalet Cedar you feel like you have arrived at your very own winter wonderland! This gorgeous, characterful chalet sits within the forest of La Tania, moments from the piste and surrounded by snow and glorious panoramic views. With six comfortable bedroom suites, Chalet Cedar is a fabulous choice of ski chalet for large family groups or a group of friends. Each of the bedrooms offer an ensuite bathroom. The chalet boasts a wonderfully atmospheric open plan living space and a deck with a hot tub. More experienced skiers can enjoy a last ski through the pretty trees off piste to get to back to the chalet at the end of the day. Even beginners only need to walk two hundred metres to the piste and the lift. The chalet enjoys a brilliant location which is only a five minute walk from the centre of the village. La Tania is a picture postcard ski village which sits between Courchevel and Meribel with excellent access to the whole of the Three Valleys ski area. It is a small, welcoming village with a good range of bars, restaurants, shops, ski schools and kindergartens but at the same time its size makes it utterly charming and you are never far from the slopes or the village amenities. The resort was built for the 1992 Winter Olympics, enjoying a traffic-free centre which is especially popular with families. A fast gondola lift takes you to the Three Valleys ski area where you can enjoy 600kms of piste, one hundred and eighty three blue and green runs, one hundred and nineteen red runs, thirty three black runs and the most amazing snow-capped scenery. As well as downhill skiing and snowboarding, La Tania offers some other wonderful, fun activities including sledging, night skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and paragliding. Out of the ski season, visitors enjoy mountain biking, trekking, tennis, clay pigeon shooting, swimming and paragliding. Courchevel and Meribel Centre are only a ten minute drive away, both brilliant for nightlife and other entertainment. Chalet Cedar is just fabulous with a real alpine, cosy log cabin feel. It features traditional Savoyard characteristics with plenty of exposed wooden beams and a roaring fire, exactly what you need when you return from the slopes. The chalet is built over two floors with the living spaces and one bedroom on the ground floor and the remaining bedroom suites upstairs. With the forest and the snow Chalet Cedar feels very secluded. There are three other chalets along the same road that Oliver's Travels also feature. If you fancy inviting some more friends or another family to share your ski trip, you might like to take a peak at Chalet Akbash, Chalet Elm and Chalet Hawthorn. Chalet Ash is also close by but not in the same road. The living space of Chalet Cedar is warm and welcoming with characterful exposed beams and a large crackling fireplace which greets you as you walk in. To one side of the fireplace is a delightful range of sofa seating and a coffee table, the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks and family games. The dining area boasts an enormous table and chairs for the whole group. The kitchen is just beyond where you can prepare hearty breakfasts, afternoon teas and delicious evening meals. Doors open to the pretty terrace where you can relax in the hot tub, enjoying the fabulous snowy scenery with a glass of chilled fizz. Also on the ground floor is a laundry space, a boot room fitted with helpful heated boot driers and one twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room. All of the beds in this chalet are dressed with luxury linens and co-ordinating soft furnishings. The bathrooms come complete with fluffy towels and dressing gowns. The first floor is home to four twin bedrooms and one double room, again all with their own en-suite shower rooms.
