About this property

Grange Bernard 2 - Lovely 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 is a bathroom and toilet in apartment 2. The living and dining area is on the ground level benefiting from underfloor heating, all other rooms having central heating. There are two bedrooms and a mezzanine level as well.

Both apartments are well maintained by ourselves and are bigger than the usual!

Bedroom 1, ground floor with double bed & built in wardrobes.
Bedroom 2 on1st floor with twin beds & built in wardrobes.
Mezzanine level: Single bed
Shower room on ground floor with wash basin and heated towel rails.
Well equipped kitchen with electric hob, microwave oven/grill, fridge, dishwasher along with a full set of cooking and eating utensils.
Living Rooms: Living room includes sofa and chairs along with a selection of cushions and dining table. The living area also has a TV & DVD player.

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!

un séjour correct
Les hôtes sont charmants et disponibles.Il est dommage que le chalet soit mal isolé et très sonore. Tous les bruits de l'appartement voisin se répercute dans celui que nous occupions) Nous avons également regretté, dans ce logement "assez spartiate," le manque de petites fournitures de base toujours proposées pour le confort des vacanciers (produit vaisselle, éponge, torchon, etc...)compte tenu du montant du séjour.

Très bon séjour
Chalet très agréable et spacieux. Rob est un hôte très sympathique et disponible. Le faible enneigement en station n’a pas permis de rejoindre directement les pistes depuis le chalet. Belle vue sur la montagne!

Great stay
Lovely apartment with everything necessary for a family of 5. Situated slightly out of town (which was fine for access) and meant easy parking. Rob & Karen were extremely friendly & helpful with lots of local knowledge. We will be back!

Spacious, clean and comfortable
Really good week spent here, it's a lovely apartment. It is easy to locate and sits near the helicopter pad under Val 1800 on the piste map. It was clean and tidy and perfectly warm throughout the week. The owner was welcoming and helpful with the odd question we had. The only downside for this chalet is the location. It is about a 5 minute walk from access to the slopes but this access includes a lot of trudging on the skis rather than skiing! If the snow is bad you can ski back very close but only if you are prepared to ski down the road. (Which I was!) We had a new skier with us so took to dropping them off at Val in the car before coming back and making the trudge to the lift daily. The parking situation is a bit odd with not being allowed to park in the ample spaces due to the snow plough potentially blocking you in. That being said we were able to park about 100m away in a layby. All that being said I would still come here again as I have never stayed in a more spacious apartment, particularly for this good price. Overall we had a great week and I'd recommend it to competent fit skiiers!

A perfect location for a family ski holiday
Having stayed with Rob and Karen in the Summer for 2 cycling holiday, when booking a ski-ing holiday for my family, they were my first choice. The chalet is a short drive down the mountain from the main resort, and there's a regular bus up the hill if you've not hired a car. The chalet itself is great - the views are spectacular, the rooms are spacious enough for a family of 4, and could easily accommodate 6, the dishwasher is a definite bonus, and it's lovely and warm inside! Rob and Karen are friendly and helpful, always ready of offer some advice on where to head to in order to get great snow, great food, great entertainment. The resort is fantastic for families - there's plenty of wide, open blue runs, and green 'return to base' runs for the kids, along with some really quick red runs, and challenging black runs, particularly if you head over towards Valoire (The ski pass covers the valleys to the East and West, all the way up to the Galibier valley). The bars and restaurants are good value, particularly the pizza place, with a mind boggling selection of pizza options! There's a reasonable selection of food to buy in the Spar up in the resort, and if you take a car you can drop down the Telegraphe for a better selection in Le Carrefour in St Michel de Maurienne. Overall, a great holiday destination, in a great location, away from the crowds of Meribel/Courcheval/Chamonix, with amenities close by, and underfloor heating! Highly recommended.

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...
