Piste of the Action

Piste of the Action: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Nestled amidst snow-capped pine trees and looking straight out of a fairy tale book, it's hard to believe this chalet is just a five-minute stroll from the pistes and chairlifts of La Tania. So close, in fact, you can ski right in and out straight from your front door.

Part of the vast Three Valleys ski area, regular visitors to La Tania prefer the more traditional atmosphere of this village compared to its glitzier cousins, Courchevel and Meribel (both less than a twenty-minute drive away). However, there's still plenty of apres-ski to soak up in its quaint, pedestrianised streets, bustling with shops and restaurants (just five minutes on foot).

Back home, you'll love how spacious this charming chalet feels. The six bedrooms, each boasting en-suite bathrooms, are spaced apart over three floors giving everyone that extra privacy. After blazing days on Trois Vallées' famous pistes, kick off your boots in the handy ski room, complete with boot dryers. Then make a beeline for the private hot tub - there's fluffy dressing gowns and slippers at the ready. And when tummies start to rumble, get together around the dining table for a post-slope feast. As the fire roars and the sun dips over the treetops outside - there really is no better place to be.

Home truths:

*Guests can access the slopes of Les 3 Vallées and its 600km of trails directly from the chalet but you’ll have to go off-piste – one for advanced skiers, we think
