Le Moulin des Neiges, the place to be in all seasons :
The surroundings of chalet are marvellous in all seasons. In winter, it has very varied ski area in its backyard. In spring and summer, when the snow has melted, the slope beside the house is turned into a sea of flowers. The brook mumbles, the birds are singing, sometimes the farmer brings his sheep. In autumn the larches turn orange, the cherry trees turn red, the birch turns yellow, you find yourself in another beautiful landscape. Besides, the mountains with the everlasting snow on the other side of the valley change all the time.

The Rhone / French Alps / Savoie region

Beautiful Savoyard chalet in the heart of the French Alpes, on the edge of the beautiful Vanoise National Park in a typical alpine village that overlooks the Tarentaise valley. From the living and sunny balconies, it has uninterrupted and stunning views of Mont Pourri, and is an idyllic setting for the family, winter skiers and the summer visitor.

The French Alps are also glorious in summer, and the chalet is ideally placed to explore some of the most stunning mountain scenery, and participate in a wide range of activities. The amenities offered in this traditional, purpose-built stone and wood chalet will appeal to the discerning visitor – a cosy and spacious living area with a traditional log fire, standing and comfortable furnishings to a very high standard, and a very well equipped kitchen. Superbly situated in a ski-in-ski-out location, the luxury chalet with its stunning mountain views.

SAINTE FOY is situated in a sunny south west facing bowl and is a rather unknown, authentic savoyard village, in the east of France, very close to the italian border, about 15k south of Bourg St. Maurice (TGV-station) on the sunny side of the Isère valley. It is sign posted from the hamlet of La Thuile, halfway on the D902, between the very well known Les Arcs and Tignes-Val d'Isère.

All shops. restaurants, nursery slopes and ski school are just a stroll away. Sainte Foy Ski Resort is also well known for its extensive off piste areas. and its ideal situation, allowing you to ski the well known resorts around it. Price Ski pass for an adult, 6 days is only 125 euro!

LA ROSIERE being situated on a south facing slope has a well deserved reputation for brilliant sunshine and also an excellent snow record - there is often a heavy snowfall at Easter which ensures that the resort often stays open until May. La Rosiere is the only resort in France to offer heli-skiing through its link with La Thuile in Italy. You can be wisked up to the Ruitor Glacier and then start a 2100m vertical descent in the powder snow you've always only dreamed about!

Non skiers
Non-skiers are well catered for with facilities for cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, dog-sledding, ice-climbing, ice fishing, ice-skating and swimming nearby. Or why not just relax on the sunny balcony at the Chalet, and leave the strenuous activities to others. Shoppers will enjoy a stroll around the shops and weekly markets at the major resorts.

Skiing in Val d'Isere
Probably the most famous ski resort in the world, Val d’Isère has one of the best snow records in Europe, links with Tignes to form ‘L’Espace Killy’ which is 10 miles from end to end. The quality and the quantity of the snow make it a skier’s Mecca and many people won’t even consider skiing anywhere else. The village has gradually become a town with excellent facilities for skier and non-skier alike. There are plenty of shops selling the very latest in ski gear and gadgets. Non-skiing guests or those taking a break from the slopes can browse the extensive range of exclusive shops, or enjoy a wide range of alternative relaxing activities. Unlike many other French ski resorts, Val d’Isère is a proper town, not just a purpose built ski complex. As a result, it has a bustling and lively atmosphere centred on the wide main street that runs the length of the town. It has a weekly market selling mainly clothes, local cheeses and saucissons.

Summer
There are numerous walking and mountain bike routes in the area, to suit all levels of ability. In the peak summer months of July and August, many of the ski lifts in the neighbouring resorts of Les Arcs, Val d’Isère and Tignes are open to cyclists and walkers to allow access to the high mountains without the hard work of climbing them! For walkers, we are also very close to the Vanoise National Park with its unique and varied flora and fauna. In addition to walking and mountain biking, there are numerous other activities available within easy reach, including river sports (canoeing, white water rafting, hydro speeding, cannoning), skiing, golf, horse riding, tennis, fishing, bird watching and rock climbing. Cultural interests include the Baroque church trail, the local Vins de Savoie vineyards, concerts in a variety of venues and many local fêtes which take place throughout the summer.
