Property Description

A large 7 bedroom character ski chalet located just below the ski station of Ste Foy Tarentaise.  The old barn has been completely renovated and looks across the snowy Tarentaise valley towards Villaroger.  It is used as a home and is operated as an independent owner run catered chalet by the current owners, with 6 large and one smaller en-suite bedrooms, a large, comfortable living area, super kitchen and dining room and being just 2 minutes by car to the resort centre and ski lifts it is a great business model for you to continue.  Alternatively with its wealth of character and traditional Savoyard-style design the chalet has a real heart and could be a beautiful, private, luxurious, spacious holiday home.    In summer the chalet’s location in a genuine original hamlet gives a real feeling of living in rural France.




On entry the large hallway has lots of space for boots, skis and coats.  There is a visitor's WC and spare shower room and storage under the staircase.  Once you have dropped off your skis don’t forget to grab a robe on your way through the hallway to the hot tub on the terrace outside.




There are four large double bedrooms on this floor all of which have modern and contemporary shower rooms, a WC and hand basins.  There is plenty of space for wardrobes, dressers or soft comfy chairs in these rooms.  They have plenty of natural light flooding in from the windows and as the walls are almost 1 metre wide the sills are the perfect place to display ornaments or pretty flower arrangements.




From the entrance hall take the stairs down to the other 3 bedrooms, one is more suited to a single bed or bunks, one is another full size double with space for furniture and the final bedroom is used as a studio with a small kitchenette and a door onto a south-west facing balcony.  All of these bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms with a WC and handbasin.  Again, all of these rooms have lots of natural light flooding in and the single room has a door out on to the terrace.  This terrace has a small cellar room for storage.  Finally this floor has a large laundry room which is large enough for 2 enormous hot water cylinders, an oil-fired boiler, 2 washing and drying machines. 




Heading upstairs to the living accommodation.  The living room will actually astound you when you walk in!  The full height ceilings span in to the eaves and the balcony doors and floor to ceiling glazing means you will be drawn to the stunning mountain views while the cosy log burner will entice you to the comfy sofas to enjoy a hot chocolate in the living area.  The dining area looks out on to the mountains and on the other side looks through the serving hatch, which looks like a stable door, to the large family kitchen.  It is fully fitted and equipped with a breakfast bar, a smart range style oven, an American style fridge freezer, two dishwashers and plenty of work surfaces.  The space under the eaves in the landing area has been laid out as a pantry with two refrigerators, lots of shelves and space for tins and bottles.  There is also a wide south and west facing terrace which wraps around the front and side of the living area.  Both sides make relaxing areas to enjoy an après-ski aperitif or to read a book on sunny days and to take in the peaceful and magnificent mountain views.




Ste Foy is an off-piste skier’s paradise with many itineraries and powder fields to explore.  The lift system and pisted runs offer the less adventurous skiers brilliant wide open, tree lined and uncrowded skiing.  There are some lovely mountain restaurants with large sunny terraces offering seriously tasty lunches for hungry skiers or walkers.  The ski resort has a real traditional French feel to it and has been developed really sympathetically.  There are some nice restaurants, bars, shops and services and you can arrange many different activities with the tourist office here.  The chalet is only a 15 minute drive to Val d’Isere and Tignes and a similar distance to La Rosiere and Villaroger (an entrance to Les Arcs) so you have many of the regions best ski resorts to chose from in just a short car trip.




Ste Foy Tarentaise is approximately 2 hour transfer from Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon airports and Chambery is just over an hour by car.  The TGV and Eurostar arrive in to Bourg Saint Maurice which is approximately 20 minutes drive from the chalet and resort.
