Chalet Akbash

Details of the Chalet

Nestled on the slopes of La Tania overlooking picturesque snow covered trees, Chalet Akbash is a fabulous choice of ski chalet for large family groups or a group of friends. The chalet offers six super comfortable bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, a superb 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 Akbash is an absolute delight with a real alpine, cosy log cabin feel. It features traditional Savoyard characteristics with plenty of exposed wooden beams and a roaring fire. The chalet is built over two floors with the living spaces and one bedroom on the ground floor and the remaining bedroom suites upstairs. Chalet Akbash feels very secluded but there are three other chalets just along from it that Oliver's Travels also feature so if you fancy inviting some more friends or another family, choosing one of those would be ideal. The chalets are Chalet Elm, Chalet Cedar and Chalet Hawthorn. Chalet Ash is also close by but not in the same road. If you travel to the chalet by car, there are two covered car park spaces in front of the chalet. Your living spaces are warm and welcoming with exposed beams and stonework and of course that feature fireplace which greets you as you walk in. To one side of the fireplace is a lovely range of sofa seating and a coffee table, the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks and family games. The dining area boasts a giant 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 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 ensuite shower room. All of the beds in this chalet come with luxury linens and co-ordinating soft furnishings. The bathrooms come with fluffy towels and dressing gowns. Upstairs you will find four twin bedrooms and one double room, again all with well-maintained ensuite shower rooms. The bedrooms enjoy a lovely warm and cosy atmosphere with all the wood and some sloping ceilings. The views from the windows are beautiful. You will leave Chalet Akbash and La Tania with very happy ski holiday memories. #### Features Ground Floor - Spacious living room and open plan dining area - Terrace with hot tub - Kitchen fully - Twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC - Washing machine and dryer - Boot room fitted with heated boot driers First Floor - Twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC - Twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC - Twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC - Twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC - Double bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC Facilities - Oven - Hob - Microwave - Dishwasher - Fridge - Freezer - Kettle - Toaster - Cafetiere - Wifi #### Location The picturesque La Tania is a small, family friendly resort at 1400m, just ten minutes' drive from Courchevel and Meribel and with excellent access to the whole of the Three Valleys' impressive ski area.
