Amongst trees, close to a piste, en-suite bedrooms. Chalet Foret is in a pretty, secluded area, just a 12-15 minute walk above the village of Les Coches. It is in a perfect location to explore the whole of the Paradiski area, La Plagne & Les Arcs linked, as the Vanoise express lift that links the two ski resorts is just one chairlift and a 5 minuite ski away. The chalet is within a building that is neatly split into two distinct ski chalets. Chalet Foret faces the piste and the forest and the other half of the building, named Chalet Pierra Menta, faces the valley. The accommodation of catered chalet Foret sleeps 8 and is on two floors with the entrance on the first floor of the building. Also on the first floor there is a lovely lounge/dining room with log fire in the corner and a double room with en-suite shower. There are three further twin bedrooms on the second floor, one with an en-suite bathroom and two with en-suite shower facilities. Foret and Pierra Menta were both refurbished in 2005; new bath/shower rooms, new floors, new furniture, new kitchen and both now offer a very comfortable standard of ski holiday accommodation. The situation of the building is ideal; just 70 metres from the edge of the piste which sweeps down through the woods to Les Coches and the Plan Bois chairlift, and anybody who can ski that run should be able to ski right back to the door at the end of the day (snow conditions permitting). The entrance to the chalet is on the first floor level, with access via external steps (see picture above), this may mean that the chalet is not suitable for very young children.
Note: for 2008/2009, Chalet Foret is the catered chalet in which we are offering for W/E and short breaks see our Weekend Ski Breaks in France page for more details. |
In the morning a 70 metre walk takes you to the edge of a red piste where a two minute ski /board will take you to the nearest lift in the centre of Les Coches. This lift, the Plan Bois chair, is your first link into the whole of the La Plagne ski area. Also from the top of the Plan Bois a short ski of about 5 minutes will take you to the Vanoise Express cable car that links La Plagne to Les Arcs, giving you access to the whole of the wonderful Paradiski area. At the end of the day, it is normally feasible to ski back to the chalet using a blue piste although the last 50 metres is gentle off piste. If you cannot manage that, then there is a 70 metre walk from the edge of the piste. |
Both chalet Foret and Chalet Pierra Menta are available to rent over the summer months on a self catering basis. They can be rented separately or together. Summer in the mountains is fantastic, generally hot and sunny and the mountains look wonderful. There is lots to do in Les Coches and the surrounding region; walking, mountain biking, white water rafting etc. If you are interested ring to discuss: 00 44 (0) 1573 226611. |
