About this property

Grange Bernard 1 - Large apartment in chalet with spectacular mountain views.

The apartments are totally self contained and located in the main chalet, the slopes are easily accessible by ski, foot or free shuttle bus. Valmeinier centre and its facilities can be reached in 2 min via the free shuttle bus or 15 mins by foot. The Inversins quad chair and piste to the 6 man Grandes Drozes chair are close by and it's possible to ski back very close to the chalet at the end of the day. The living and dining areas in both apartments are comfortable and furnished with traditional alpine furniture in keeping with both the chalet and surrounding area. The apartments benefit from spectacular views across the valley and are situated at 1700m in altitude. There are 2 shower rooms and a separate toilet in apartment 1 and a bathroom and toilet in apartment 2. The living and dining area in both apartments is on ground level benefiting from underfloor heating, all other rooms having central heating. Both apartments are well maintained by ourselves and are bigger than the usual!


Bedroom 1, 1st floor with 1 double bed and 2 single beds.
Bedroom 2 1st floor with double bed and 1 bunk bed.
A single sofa bed is also located in the living room.
An additional bed is also available and can be located in any room.
Shower room on ground floor with wash basin and heated towel rails.
Shower room on 1st floor with wash basin and heated towel rails.
Separate WC located on ground floor.
Both shower rooms have power showers and heated floors.
Well equipped kitchen with Gas hob, combi/microwave oven, fridge, dishwasher and coffee maker, small electric oven along with a full set of cooking and eating utensils.
A large 8 seater table is located in the kitchen/dining area with views over the valley.
Utility Room: The chalet garage provides ample storage for guests ski equipment.
Living Rooms: Living room includes a 3 seat sofa and two arm chairs along with a selection of bean bags and cushions. The living area is also equipped with a TV & DVD.

Skiing: The Valmeinier/Valloire ski area has 150km of pistes to offer with resorts being linked and easily accessible from the apartment. Heavy investment in new chairlifts over the past few years has made this even quicker than before. The skiing is suited to all with lots of good cruising runs along with more challenging and off piste opportunities for those that seek it. Seventy percent of the ski area is located above 2000 meters and all lower slopes are covered by snow cannons just in case.
Walk 150 metres up the road and you can ski to the Inversins chair lift and piste allowing you easy access to Valmeinier or Valloire via high speed 4 and 6 seater chairs. The pistes are very well maintained in the area and lift queues are rarely a problem here as the resort is small in comparison to the size of the ski area.

For those wishing to have access to even more skiing there is Val Thorens accessible via Orelle in around 20-25 minutes by car.

Cycling: The apartments are ideally situated for cyclists being 10KM from the summit of the Col du Telegraph. Many of the mountain Col's used in the Tour de France can be accessed from our location, Galibier, Alp D'Huez, Glandon, Crox de Fer, Col D'liserian to name but a few.

Our garage provides suitable storage for bikes and limited maintenance equipment is available (Stand, basic tools, pumps, etc...) During the summer months we are able to provide more flexibility around our accommodation schedule so rule nothing out!

Mountain Bike: Valloire/Valmeinier has good lift served downhill mountain bike trails along with some cross country options. If you feel adventurous you can do both as it's possible to cycle to Valloire on a mountain bike via marked trails and then take the gondola to the top of some downhill trails!

séjour Grange Bernard 2 au 9 mars
Nous avons passé un bon séjour dans votre logement. En remarques d'amélioration: une vraie cafetière, un freezer. Nous avons trouvé qu'il y avait peu d'isolation phonique dans la chambre au dessus de l'autre logement (nous entendions très distinctement les locataires parler, rire, regarder leurs films...) à des heures tardives jusqu'à 00h00, ce qui était très gênant pour s'endormir. Nous avons constaté aussi que deux lits simples grinçaient fortement et que les couteaux étaient très mal aiguisés. Nous avons apprécié l'accueil de Nicolas.

Quiet setting, between Valmeinier 1500 and 1800m. Well equipped kitchen. A little bit more lights in the parts of the house would be nice. Practical storage place for the ski's. And most of all: superhosts.

un magnifique séjour
Des propriétaires vraiment très sympa et à l'écoute. Un accès aux pistes : top pour les skieurs , plus compliqué pour les snowbordeurs ou les enfants petits. Le + le Calme, les chemins, assez spacieux, Le - obliger de prendre la voiture ou la navette pour aller au centre. Merci ;-)

Great apartment, great holiday! Already booked next year!
Having previously been to Valmeinier 7 times previously, staying in a hotel in the heart of the village, we decided that this year, we wanted to stay in a self contained apartment where we could relax and enjoy our own space as a family. We wanted an apartment that was close enough to the village that we could fetch supplies as and when needed, but wasn't miles away from everything. This apartment fitted the bill perfectly - approx 1km from the village centre (so quickly / easily accessed by car if needed) but also easy to ski back to with your rucksack stocked up after stopping off in the village on the way home after sking all day! To get to the lifts in the morning, you have a short walk up the road where you join a small path that you can ski down to the Inversins lift or Girodiere lift within minutes. The apartment has all the facilities you need for self contained family holiday, is clean, spacious and well equipped. Robert was extremely responsive and helpful to all of our pre-trip and in-holiday questions so we would highly recommend this property - so much so, that we have already booked to return next year!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Hawkins

Host profile image
As a family we have spent lots of time in Valmeinier over the past 10 years. We finally bought the house and apartments after deciding we just wouldn't find anywhere better to live or play.

We all now live and work in Valmeinier full time.

What makes this property unique

Quiet location just outside of the resort center with the slopes just a few hundred meters up the road and for most of winter we can ski back to the door. Our apartments are significantly larger than those found in the resort center and as we live here all year round we're always willing to help you get the most from your holiday so feel free to ask. There's always a great feeling of being in the mountains when you stay with us...
