Move straight in and enjoy the spoils of this beautifully and thoughtfully renovated village house. Set in a traditional and popular village just a short drive from the ski fields of Ste Foy Tarentaise, this chalet would make a perfect sport for someone looking to spoil themselves with a luxury stylish chalet.
The accommodation is over 3 floors and offers the new owner 4 large bedrooms. Starting with the ground floor, the first bedroom is a superb children's room with clever built in bunk beds made out of old, character timber. This room also offers kids a great place to play and with its huge screen doubles as a mini cinema. Located on the ground floor, you will also find a superb sauna and hammam area which has a large walk in shower, vanity washbasin unit and separate WC. Space for your skis and a blissful bootwarmer! There is also a cave and laundry room adding to the storage space. This ground floor accommodation is exceptionally stylish, with a vaulted hallway, old stone flag stones, reclaimed wood and features such as a water fountain trough (perhaps where the old farm animals took their drinks?!) and nooks in the walls providing perfect frames for objets d'art. The wellbeing area is particularly modern and uses very high quality fixtures and fittings.
Going up the stone and iron staircase to the first floor and the main bedrooms. There is a quaint, cute cabin style double bedroom which has so much character, but not so much space for your luggage! Still, the other double bedroom suites are lovely and decorated to a high standard. One of the bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom and the other two share the shower room in the magnificent jacuzzi area. This floor also has a separate WC and storage cupboards in the hallway. The two main double bedrooms have a terrace door on to the balcony. The large, luxury jacuzzi room has windows that open completely to views across the balcony and rooftops of the village - it is quite an unusual feature.
Upstairs in to the open plan living area which has large floor to ceiling windows and stretches up in to the pitched roof. They give great views across the valley towards Mont Pourri. There is a large fire place in the centre of the living room and the dining room and kitchen are at the other end of the floor. The kitchen is fully equipped and is right next to the dining area making entertaining a breeze. Finally this floor boasts a lovely balcony from the living room where you can watch the world go by and take in the fantastic views of your own, private, mountain heaven.
The chalet is situated in a traditional, old rural village called Le Miroir. It is extremely popular and has some beautiful chalets and properties making it very attractive. There is a small village square with a post office and a great viewing platform looking out toward the valley. During the winter you are close to all of the superb internationally renowned ski areas such as Paradiski, Espace Killy, Three Valleys and Espace San Bernado. It is close to the ski stations of Ste Foy, Val d’Isere, Tignes, La Rosiere and Villaroger on the Paradiski. Ste Foy resort is around a 10 minute drive. The bustling busy market town of Bourg Saint Maurice which has year round facilities, shopping, restaurants and bars is around 15 minutes drive.
You can access the chalet by taking a train to Bourg Saint Maurice which has regular services from the TGV or Eurostar, thereby linking it to Paris, London and other major European cities. Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva are around a two hour transfer by car.

Forget large busy resorts, 2009/2010 is all about “Boutique Skiing” and nowhere does it better that Sainte Foy de Tarentaise. If you LOVE off piste skiing, have a young family and enjoy a chalet atmosphere well then you will REALLY LOVE Sainte Foy. It’s one of the prettiest modern ski villages in France. Nestled among the trees at 1550 metres in a sunny bowl above the Savoie Isere valley, it’s just a short car ride away from a host of better known resorts such as Val D’Isere, Tignes and la Rosiere. It has stunning views of Mont Blanc (4,807m). Small family ski resorts are back in fashion and Sainte Foy has everything you will need. The right skiing mix for experts and beginners, good facilities for children, fine food and a high standard of accommodation. For small children Sainte Foy is ideal, it’s friendly, has a kids club, a ski school and the nursery slopes are conveniently close to the middle of the village. Despite what you may have encountered in other small resorts lifts are in good condition and well maintained. Sainte Foy opened its first 3 lifts in 1990 and has been adding to them ever since. The most recent was a 6 man chairlift in 2006/7. The village has plans to build more lifts in the future to further extend the 30km of pisted ski area. Currently there are 4 chairlifts and 2 tows. The Morion and Crystal Dark blacks that run down from the Col de l'Aiguille summit at 2620 metres are suitably challenging, whilst a full top to bottom descent is possible by taking a succession of reds such as L'Aiguille down to Creux de Formeian finishing up with La Savonette. The snow cannons and its north west facing position keep Sainte Foy snow-covered from December to April. Off piste addicts have raved about Sainte Foy for years, you’ll find powder here days after it has been skied out in nearby Espace Killy. It has long been the reserve of off piste guides and you may want to make use of their expert knowledge, especially when facing serious steeps! Boarders have a terrain park all to themselves by Cret Serru (2040m). Beyond this St Foy is a natural playground for snowboarders with countless drops and hits. The top half of the mountain is a treeless powder bowl, whilst the lower trails are cut through the forest creating endless opportunities to enjoy. Anyway it’s not all about skiing and boarding .......or is it? Your first port of call, once the lifts have closed, should be the Pitchouli Bar. Renowned for its early evening live bands and relaxed atmosphere it’s THE place to wind down before dinner. There are a variety of different restaurants in and around the village, menus range from tapas to local Savoyard fayre. Don’t expect huge nightlife in Sainte Foy, that’s not what it’s about, however if a pleasant meal, a few glasses of wine, in front of an open fire then falling into bed appeals to you, you really will LOVE it here. The Eurostar offers a regular service to Bourg Saint Maurice which lies at the foot of Sainte Foy de Tarentaise, from here a taxi transfer can be arranged. Local airports are Lyon (135kms), Geneva (130kms). Chambery (75kms) and Grenoble (115kms).
