Home description
A stunning, penthouse apartment in an MGM chalet located in the centre of Les Carroz, over looking the village square (Place de l'Ambiance) - the apartment is surrounded by an excellent selection of shops and restaurants. The main telecabine is about 800m from the apartment and is easily reached by the frequent (approx every 10mins or less) free bus service from the village square - journey time of approx. 2 minutes.
This spacious (62m2) two bedroom (one en-suite) apartment accommodates up to six guests. The main living area benefits from a double height (4.5m) pitched ceiling with large picture windows. The large balcony faces south and has a sunny aspect with views across the village centre to the ski slopes and mountains. It is an ideal spot for apres ski refreshment in the spring, and eating outside in the summer. Finished to the usual high MGM standards the apartment was brand new for the 2007 season and is luxuriously furnished in a contemporary alpine style. The apartment also benefits from private underground parking.
