Description
The chalet du saut is a 17th century savoyard farmhouse, recently converted to a ski chalet. It offers 200m² of accommodation, & comfortably sleeps 12/14 in 6 bedrooms & mezzanine, with 4 bathrooms, a large living area around the open fireplace, and a kitchen and dining area designed to cater for large dinner parties. It is in the traditional alpine hamlet of the villaret du nial, a privileged discreet location, in the heart of the espace killy ski area. The hamlet is nestled on the south facing slopes above the road to valdisere and overlooking the tignes dam. You are 4kms (5 mins) from the funicular and ski pistes in val d'isere and 3kms from the lifts & pistes at tignes les boisses, the chalet offers the best of both worlds, the convenience of a major ski area, without the hustle and bustle of a holiday resort.. There is private car parking at the chalet. The surroundings are well suited to children, no traffic, lots of sun, a garden to play in, etc..... In the summer, close to the grand sassière nature reserve, it is ideally situated for mountain walking, other summer activities include summer skiing, golf, kayaking and rafting.
val d'isere and neighbouring ski resort tignes make up the espace killy ski area. Made up of 300kms (186 miles) of pistes with 137 different runs to choose from, 9 slalom stadiums, 2 mogul fields, 2 half pipes, 2 snow parks and 97 mostly high speed lifts to get you round the mountains.
there are bigger ski playgrounds in europe, but not with terrain as well linked, groomed or varied as that of espace killy in france. Taking in the resorts of val d'isère and tignes, you'll clock up more skiing miles here in a week than anywhere else in the world, whether you're a beginner or an expert.
for beginners and intermediates there are huge open bowls, gently winding trails and high altitude "motorways" to cruise. For experts there are vast off-piste playgrounds, littered with steeps, shoots, gullies, cliffs and trees. With glacier skiing at up to 3,455m and integrated snow making, covering the whole area, snow is also guaranteed - even in august. Val gets top marks for snow, off-piste, shopping and bars, tignes offers the best skiing and boarding in europe.
unlike some super-resorts, the two resorts of espace killy are seamlessly joined, so you can cruise from one to the other without fear of getting caught in rush-hour queues. The round journey from tignes le brévières, which sits 800m below the main resort of tignes, to le fornet, an off-piste mecca at the furthest edge of val d'isère, would take a day or more in other resorts. Here it can be done in an afternoon, so efficient is the lift system
the area is named after jean-claude killy, the champion local skier who swept the board in the 1968 winter olympics.
after hosting the 1992 olympic downhill skiing events, val d’isere was the setting for the 2009 alpine ski world championships
