Chalet Ash France

The charming Chalet Ash is perfect for large families, two families or groups of friends. It boasts gorgeous Savoyard character but with a slightly more modern feel than many ski chalets. The chalet enjoys a fabulous position, just 100m from the slopes and main gondola of La Tania and there is even a restaurant next door. How brilliant is that! Chalet Ash sleeps ten guests in four bedrooms, two of them with three beds in each.
La Tania is a picture postcard ski village which sits between Courchevel and Meribel with excellent access to the whole of the Three Valleys ski area. It is a small, welcoming village with a good range of bars, restaurants, shops, ski schools and kindergartens but at the same time its size makes it utterly charming and you are never far from the slopes or the village amenities. The resort was built for the 1992 Winter Olympics, enjoying a traffic-free centre which is especially popular with families. A fast gondola lift takes you to the Three Valleys ski area where you can enjoy 600kms of piste, one hundred and eighty three blue and green runs, one hundred and nineteen red runs, thirty three black runs and the most amazing snow-capped scenery. As well as downhill skiing and snowboarding, La Tania offers some other wonderful, fun activities including sledging, night skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and paragliding. Out of the ski season, visitors enjoy mountain biking, trekking, tennis, clay pigeon shooting, swimming and paragliding. Courchevel and Meribel Centre are only a ten minute drive away, both brilliant for nightlife and other entertainment.
Chalet Ash is built over three floors and features traditional Savoyard characteristics with plenty of exposed wooden beams. There is plenty of pretty pine furniture around but also some comfy contemporary sofas and modern rugs. Your stylish living space is located on the ground floor along with a handy ski and boot storage room. The living area is bright and airy with huge picture windows. There is an enormous sumptuous corner sofa, another squishy one and chairs where you can relax on return from the ski slopes or later to watch a movie. The sofas are adorned with colourful scatter cushions. The space offers a modern feel and sweeps wonderfully around to your spacious dining area and kitchen. The dining area boasts a giant table and chairs for the whole group. It is open plan to your modern kitchen where you can prepare hearty breakfasts, afternoon teas and delicious evening meals using its excellent appliances.
Guests have the option of an excellent contactless catered service at the chalet which includes provisions for daily breakfasts, afternoon snacks and six evening meals including pre-dinner nibbles. The meals are delicious, coming from Savoyard delicatessens, supermarkets and long standing partners and prepared by expert chefs. Drinks are part of the package too and include hot drinks, juices, beer, red and white wine and Crème de Cassis for pre-dinner cocktails. The hot and cold breakfasts, cakes, biscuits, clementines, fruit, nuts, crisps, aperitif crackers and three course dinners are delicious. Everything is very simple to put together taking little effort and no menu planning or shopping. Dishes can simply be put in the oven to be heated through. Your fridges and cupboards will be stocked before your arrival and re-filled during your stay. If the likes of pumpkin soup, goat’s cheese salads, French charcuterie, chicken in a red wine sauce, hake with rice and vegetable gratin, duck in a cep mushroom sauce, French Normandy apple tart, lemon tart or chocolate brownies don’t do it for you, there is another a la carte option. You can tailor-make your holiday meals from lists of dishes prepared by a local Savoyard delicatessen or from a local shopping list to suit your budget and appetites. Of course, there are also options for vegans and vegetarians.
The first floor of the chalet is home to two bedrooms. The first offers a large double bed and an en suite bathroom and the second offers three single beds and another en suite bathroom. Upstairs on the second floor, you will discover one bedroom with two single beds and an en suite shower room and another with three single beds and an en suite. The chalet works very well for two families with children sharing the triple rooms. All of the bedrooms are very comfortable, exactly what you need after a busy, tiring day on the mountain.
Chalet Ash is located quite close to four other chalets that Excellence Luxury Villas feature in La Tania so if you fancy inviting some more friends or another family, choosing one of those would be ideal. The chalets are Chalet Elm, Chalet Akbash, Chalet Cedar and Chalet Hawthorn. Guests staying at Chalet Ash enjoy a welcome basket and logs as well as the option of the brilliant contactless catering service. The picturesque ski resort of La Tania is small, family friendly and sits at 1400m, just ten minutes’ drive from Courcheval and Meribel and with excellent access to the whole of the Three Valleys’ impressive ski area. The resort is the newest, enjoying a good selection of shops, bars, restaurants, ski hire shops and ski facilities. Its traffic-free centre is so pretty and the chalets and apartments are surrounded by spruce forests. The village lies at the foot of blue and green runs and good skiers can even ski through the forest off piste to return to the chalet later in the day.
As well as skiing, there is a good range of winter and summer entertainment in La Tania including snowshoeing, sledging, night skiing, cross country skiing through the trees, paragliding and much more. The entertainment of Courcheval and Meribel is easily accessible too. If you fancy dancing the night away or partying until the early hours in a lively apre-ski bar, all is possible. There are good facilities for children too with a nursery centre for young ones aged four months to five years and a Piou Piou skiing kindergarten for three to five year olds. There is a good range of restaurants in La Tania from inexpensive pizzas and snacks up to the Michelin starred gastronomic restaurant, Le Farcon.
