Chalet Elm

Details of the Chalet

It is easy to see why Chalet Elm is so popular! This fantastic, characterful chalet was constructed with reclaimed timbers taken from an old Russian farmhouse. The craftsmanship is just magical and will have you admiring it all week long! The chalet just makes you feel happy, snug, warm and looking forward to cosy nights in front of the log burner! The chalet has the added benefits of a hot tub on the deck and good skiers being able to ski off piste to the front door through the forest. What a way to end 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. The chalet offers five glorious bedroom suites and enjoys upside down living with four of the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living spaces and one bedroom upstairs. Sitting in a winter wonderland, Chalet Elm is nestled within the forest of La Tania, moments from the piste and surrounded by snow and glorious panoramic views. It is a fabulous choice for large family groups or a group of friends. 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. There are three other chalets along the same road as Chalet Elm that Oliver's Travels also feature. If you would like more friends or family to join the party, you might like to take a peak at Chalet Akbash, Chalet Cedar and Chalet Hawthorn. Chalet Ash is also close by but not on the same road. Chalet Elm and Chalet Hawthorn are actually semi-detached with a connecting door between them which can be unlocked for very large groups that want to spend their holiday together. A wonderful option! There is parking for one car in front of the chalet. The ground floor of Chalet Elm is home to three beautiful twin bedrooms, each with their own en-suite shower room, the boot room with its heated boot driers plus there is a delightful double bedroom located in a separate annexe which is accessible via an external door at the side of the chalet. All of the bedrooms are clad in this gorgeous rich wood looking absolutely stunning. Luxury dazzling white linens adorn the beds together with colourful cushions. Guests are also given a soft fluffy dressing gown. Upstairs you will find the remaining twin bedroom suite and your fabulous living spaces. You will be truly amazing by the warm ambience in this wonderful space. Under an immensely characterful wooden beamed ceiling at all different angles, you can relax on beautiful carved sofas and chairs watching a movie streamed using the Wi-Fi and enjoying the flames and warmth of the log burning stove. It is a perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks or family games. At the far end, you will dine in style on hearty breakfasts, afternoon teas and delicious evening meals. Doors open to a balcony and stunning snow capped trees and slopes. Chalet Elm also comes with a hot tub which sits on the deck, a wonderful treat when you return from the slopes. #### Features Ground Floor - Private terrace with hot tub - Double bedroom - Three twin bedrooms with an en-suite shower room and WC - Double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC - Boot room First Floor - Living room - Open plan dining area - Kitchen fully equipped - Twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC Facilities - Oven - Hob - Microwave - Dishwasher - Fridge - Freezer - Kettle - Toaster - Cafetiere - Wifi #### Location The picturesque village of La Tania is a small, family friendly ski resort at an altitude of 1400m.
