Apartment 15 La Traverse (apartment)

Home description

Charming bijou apartment sleeps six, but you do need to be good friends, on the ground floor with direct access to the slopes. Within 50m there are Evolution and ESF Ski schools and meeting points for lessons, crèche and childcare, the six man fast lift out of the village and the beginners bubble to the beginners area.

There also is a children's safe toboggan area and separate snow play area and play area, shops, restaurants, bars, take away with delivery service, tourist information office, emergency doctor, animation area, laundry, hairdressers and cinema. This whole area to the front of the apartment and to the shops is pedestrians only.

The apartment is cleverly designed to create three separate sleeping areas. Double bedroom, twin beds in the lounge area and a further double bed adapted from the dining table and bench chairs. All rooms have storage for personal items and there are drawers shelves baskets and baggage stows throughout the apartment.

During the day the wooden sliding doors between the lounge and the dining area can be opened up to create one larger living area with comfortable seating and TV DVD player, CD player, games, toys,books and cards. The lounge leads to the south facing terrace which is equipped with out door furniture for al fresco dining. The terrace leads to the shared garden with direct access to the ski area (snow permitting you can ski down to the terrace) the terrace is a great space to leave skis when returning to the apartment with children. In the summer the terrace leads directly onto the shared garden area a great area for sunbathing or for children to play.

The kitchen although tiny is very well equipped including a full size dishwasher. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, a large basin, plenty of storage and drying space and even an Iron and ironing board. There is a separate WC.

We have a lockable ski store within a heated and locked ski room. There is free parking directly outside the apartment building.

Les Coches is a typical French ski resort . In the evening in the village square there are complimentary wine tastings, hot chocolate, vin chaud, local food tastings regularly organised. Children are well catered for with lots of children's activities and a whole animation programme that is different every week. In the summer months of July and August the village again puts on a whole host of activities for children and adults alike with organised walks mounting biking, rafting, kayaking, adventure and adrenalin sports and a comprehensive range of children's activities including circus activities and sleeping in wigwams to name but a few.

Guestbook for Apartment 15 La Traverse

We vote this the best ski apartment we have stayed in in 14 years our children loved it they were free to come and go as they liked and were safe because of the traffic free nature of the village centre.

A most comfortable and well equipped apartment in the best possible position central to everything. I couldn't think of anything that it was short of. The clock has a loud tick we hid it in the bathroom at night!

Superb you have thought of everything and I think we used everything from sledges to salad spinner! We very much appreciated the children's games and DVDs. The ease of use of the ESF ski school and with the meeting place being right outside the apartment made for a stress free week.... we skied alone in the mornings whilst they went to ski school and then we met back at the apartment for lunch on the terrace.... well most days... this also helped to keep the costs down. The afternoons we spent catching up on what the children had learnt that morning and then showing us a few routes through the trees.

We came here to have a romantic weekend just the two of us away from the kids. We found the apartment spacious for the two of us and was like returning home for me (had stayed there the year before with five other women) John loved all the clever use of space and storage and especially loved the kitchen! Snow was fantastic and we skied till we dropped then had lovely romantic meals in the evenings. Bliss! Is it too early to book for next year?

New years eve was spectacular massive firework display right in front of the apartment with the mountain backdrop. There was complimentary wine and live music. They were giving out treats to the children .and everyone was all dancing together and then it started snowing lightly it was magical!
