Lovely modern, 52sqm, well equipped, spacious apartment + garage. Summer/winter

'Colchique' is a lovely 52 sq m apartment in the exciting resort of La Plagne, part of the massive Paradiski area. It is modern and well equipped and makes a perfect base for families or groups of friends holidaying together.

Bedrooms
Apartment 'Colchique' has 2 bedrooms. One has a comfortable double bed, and plenty of storage in a large fitted wardrobe. When you open the shutter in the morning, you should have a sunny mountain view.

The second bedroom has new sturdy bunk beds suitable for children or adults, with a 3rd pull out bed so that the room can be used for 3 persons if required. A large fitted wardrobe provides plenty of storage.

An alpine style sofa in the lounge will convert into 1 or 2 single beds.

Living room
The light and airy living area has fabulous views over the Tarantaise valley and the Mont Blanc massif. There is a smart TV with British and French channels, a Chromecast, a Blu-ray/DVD player and Bluetooth audio system. Free internet and wi-fi is provided for the sole benefit of our guests. Viewing and sharing those on-piste videos and holiday pictures could not be simpler.

Kitchen and dining area
The kitchen features a multi-function built in oven, 4 ring electric hob and extractor, full size dishwasher, and large fridge with freezer compartment. Plenty of pots, pans and utensils, a cafetiere, toaster and an electric slow cooker are available.

The dining table seats 6 but if you need a bigger table an extension piece is provided.

Bathroom and lavatory
A large bathroom features a full size bath with shower over, basin and large electric towel rail. It is also home to the washing machine. There is a separate lavatory.

Hallway
A good sized entrance provides plenty of space to store your ski togs away in the wardrobe. An electric boot dryer is provided to condition your ski boots for the following day.

Balcony
A lovely large double aspect balcony, with morning and early afternoon sunshine, provides patio seating and a table to enjoy the magnificent views of the mountains.

Garage
A full size garage (a VW Passat fits) is available to provide covered parking for our guests - a real boon in the snowy weather.

Ski locker
A locker and boot changing room is available by the apartment block front door or it is possible to change out of your ski boots and leave your skis in the garage

Other services
Taxe de sejour is collected for all persons 18 and over. Small charge for end of stay cleaning. Linen is available for hire if required or bring your own. Our local rep will meet you on arrival and can provide assistance with lift passes, ski hire (some companies will deliver to the apartment), ski school and loads of other information

Location
The apartment is located at Crete Cote Village, just below Plagne 1800, and just above the Olympic bobsleigh piste.
To reach the pistes and lifts, you can take the free bus that passes the apartment every hour going up to the various La Plagne stations, or every hour going down to the La Roche lift. Skiers with a bit of experience can use the track (it was pisted last season,) opposite the apartment to join the La Roche red run. Subject to snow conditions a track leading down from Plagne 1800 will bring you down close to the Crete Cote apartments, although a bit of confidence will be needed for this. If you are taking lessons, some of the schools will pick you up to take you to lessons!
For those of you who bring a car, parking is available at La Roche or up in the other linked La Plagne resorts.

During the summer
La Plagne is great during the summer season too (July and August.) There are loads of activities for adults and kids alike - mountain biking, great walks, tennis, sports centre activities, swimming, parcours adventure (ropes in the trees) and the excellent Base de Loisirs in Aime.
