Ideally suited to couples or young families Chalet Susie is a large, beautifully renovated 1 bedroom apartment in an old farmhouse spread over 2 floors. At 70sqm Chalet Susie is as large as some 3 bedroom apartments.
For the 2021 Winter season we are offering extended stays of a minimum 21 day period between NY and UK half-term and UK half-term and Easter at attractive rates.
Situated in the old hamlet of La Bataillette on the northerly edge of Sainte Foy Station the lifts are a short walk or a 30 second shuttle ride away. The shuttle runs a small loop from the Eco Le Ruitor hotel (just a few seconds walk from the front door of the apartment) to the ESF meeting point. In terms of convenience access to the slopes is only bettered by a genuine ski-in/ski-out property.
The property was fully renovated in 2014 in a traditional style by local craftsmen using high quality materials and features underfloor heating. The interior is completed with a Nero Victorio antique limestone floor and an extremely comfortable Chesterfield suite.
Whilst the apartment is comfortably large enough to accommodate 4 adults using the Chesterfield sofa bed in the living area we have designed it to primarily appeal to couples or young families who might otherwise find themselves having to rent a two bedroom apartment and compromise on the available living space.
The front door opens to a garden area with beautiful and extensive views of the Tarentaise valley.
The Winter season:
We operate a Sunday changeover for most of the Winter season. This offers clients the dual benefits of travelling to and from the resort when the roads are quiet (the main changeover day in the wider area is Saturday and traffic can be extremely heavy, especially during the peak weeks) and being able to enjoy a Saturday on the slopes as the final day of their holiday (as most people are either leaving or arriving on a Saturday the slopes are generally very quiet on a Saturday).
Outside the ski season:
Chalet Susie offers great walking, hiking and mountain biking opportunities direct from the front door. The wider Haute Tarentaise and Savoie area has a rich and varied history having been ruled at various times by both Italy and France.
The resort itself shares a 25km border with Italy and several historic fortifications are within an easy drive. These include the Fort de la Platte, Fort du Truc and Fort de la Redoute Ruinee.
There are several nature reserves in the area with the Réserve Naturelle des Hauts de Villaroger being a 15 minute drive away. Please be aware that this area serves as a refuge of the Tetras-Lyre and can only be accessed with an approved guide.
The apartment contains several maps and books detailing local walks for all levels of fitness. The walk to the hamlet of Le Monal is easily achievable whilst the return hike to Lac Noir is likely to take most of the day but is well worth the effort. June is a particularly colourful month as the meadow flowers are in full bloom.
The resort's Grand Plan lift opens for foot passengers and mountain bikers during the Summer holiday period.
