Description from owner
Description
Chalet de l'Ours is a traditional farmhouse in the charming ski resort of Sainte Foy-Tarentaise. At 115sqm it is considerably larger than most 3 bedroom apartments and offers a very large open plan living/dining/kitchen area with some stunning mountain views.
We can offer discounts on extended stays outside the peak holiday periods. Contact us for information as it can be difficult to reflect these in automatically generated quotes.
The apartment offers great walking, hiking and mountain biking opportunities direct from the front door. During the summer the resort's Grand Plan lift will open for foot passengers and mountain bikers.
Fully renovated in 2013 in a traditional style it is luxuriously furnished with beautiful stone floors throughout. Spread over 2 floors it offers a large, comfortable living/dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, 3 beautiful bedrooms each with hand-crafted, built-in storage, 2 bathrooms, a separate 3rd wc and offers wi-fi throughout.
The living area has 2 large, extremely comfortable Chesterfield sofas, a matching club chair, west-facing balcony, log fire and a large smart TV. There is also a mezzanine area with a Chesterfield sofa-bed and expansive views to the north. Large windows facing north also offer fantastic, uninterrupted mountain views. These windows and the balcony offer a huge amount of natural light.
The main bedroom offers en-suite facilities and also benefits from a west-facing balcony. There is ample room for a cot should that be necessary. The second and third bedrooms have uninterrupted mountain views to the north whilst all 3 bedrooms have extremely comfortable double beds and hand-crafted, made-to-measure storage built in. The 3rd bedroom can be offered as a twin rather than a double.
Both bathrooms offer bath, shower and wc facilities and have large, well lit mirrors over the sink.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a butler sink, 110cm range-style cooker featuring a double oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and a Nespresso coffee maker.
Sainte Foy is a great resort for children. The village is small and very safe and there is a lot of outdoor space for them to run around. The apartment has plenty of space for baby items such as push chairs and cots. However, if you have toddlers please be aware that we have 2 open staircases and none of the drawers or cupboards are currently child-proofed.
The Winter season:
We operate a Sunday changeover for most of the Winter season. This offers clients the dual benefits of travelling to and from the resort when the roads are quiet (the main changeover day in the wider area is Saturday and traffic can be extremely heavy, especially during the peak weeks) and being able to enjoy a Saturday on the slopes as the final day of their holiday (as most people are either leaving or arriving on a Saturday the slopes are generally very quiet on a Saturday).
May & October half-term:
As these are generally quiet booking periods we can offer the May & October half-term weeks with a Friday check-in and Sunday check-out for the price of a standard week. We are also open to extending this offer to other weeks outside the peak Winter and Summer seasons.
The area:
The wider Haute Tarentaise and Savoie area has a rich and varied history having been ruled at various times by both Italy and France. The resort itself shares a 25km border Italy and several historic fortifications are within an easy drive. These include the Fort de la Platte, Fort du Truc and Fort de la Redoute Ruinee.
There are several nature reserves in the area with the Réserve Naturelle des Hauts de Villaroger being a 15 minute drive away. Please be aware that this area serves as a refuge of the Tetras-Lyre and can only be accessed with an approved guide.
The apartment contains several maps and books detailing local walks for all levels of fitness. The walk to the hamlet of Le Monal is easily achievable whilst the return hike to Lac Noir is likely to take most of the day but is well worth the effort. June is a particularly colourful month as the meadow flowers are in full bloom.

“Excellent stay”
We are a family of 4 and stayed for a week at the chalet de l'ours. It is very cosy and confortable, with beautiful and quality furnishings. The beds are very comfy too and the kitchen is very well furbished. During the day there is a shuttle that goes up the hill and that drops people off right by the Esf, the ride is only a couple of minutes and we never has to wait for it more than 3 mn. Lee has given us very helpful advice regarding the childrens ´ ski lessons and Lesley has been very helpful and nice during our stay. We hope to be back at the chalet for Christmas!
