Situated in a peaceful location, the centre of the traditional village of Les Carroz is just a ten minute walk away where one can enjoy interesting shops, pleasant pavement cafes, and the weekly market.

An excellent free shuttle bus (which stops on your doorstep) takes you to the new high speed telecabine and ski-lifts which are just minutes away. The ski bus stops outside the building at very regular intervals.

Guestbook for Les Trappeurs
August 2009 We had a wonderful time staying in your chalet - thank you. Les Carroz is a lovely village and your apartment was extremely comfortable. Les Carroz looks fabulous in Winter. Hopefully, next time we return it will be to ski! Thanks again.
Geraldine
March 2009 We had a wonderful stay at your apartment in March this year and simply loved the traditional town of Les Carroz.
The snow conditions were some of the best we've experienced and the skiing was so vast we didn't managed to cover the entire area during our stay. Having children, the free bus stop being right outside the apartment helped enormously and we were on the slopes within minutes every day.
Very comfortable apartment and extremely convenient to the centre with some wonderful shops, bars and restaurants.
We will be back to cover the remainder of the ski areas. Thank you, Richard and Kirsty
August 2008 We had an amazing time in August. This was our first summer mountain break and we will certainly be back. The activities were amazing and simply loved sitting out on the balcony taking in the view of an evening.
We will be recommending this apartment and village to our friends. Amanda, Mark and Thomas.
