The Sapinière I and its sister chalet (Sapinière II) lie in a hamlet right on the slopes, just above La Croisette in Les Menuires. Access to the slopes and the wider 600km Three Valleys ski area couldn't be easier making this a convenient and great value home-from-home.
The apart-chalet is very comfortably furnished with large sofas and a gorgeous wood burner in the lounge/diner. Sit and warm yourself after skiing or boarding all day whilst soaking in the dramatic views through the large windows. There's a small balcony too, perfect for grabbing a morning moment of calm.
Sapinière is French for Fir, which is apt as there's a small Fir wood behind the chalets, so your views are either of the slopes or the woods. Just down from the woods is the nearest lift. Improvers to advanced can clip in straight from the residence and be at the lifts in no time.
To get to the centre of Les Menuires is about a 15-minute walk down the gentle pistes where you arrive in La Croisette with an excellent choice of bars, restaurants and shopping. This really is a great choice if you're looking for Three Valleys skiing without the premium prices!

Split over four floors, each of the five bedrooms are all tastefully furnished with plenty of light and of character. On the ground floor, there's a club double room with its own ensuite shower and a club twin room with private shower room. Both share a wc.
A club twin, economy twin (in the eaves) and economy single room are split across the top two floors. They share a full bathroom plus an extra wc. The single also has a private shower room.
Our chalet board basis is designed for skiers and boarders. Breakfast is a fairly extensive affair with cooked and continental options every day. Your daily afternoon tea of freshly baked cakes and biscuits will be waiting for you when you come in from the slopes.
Evening meals are a three-course set-menu with regionally inspired dishes and free-flowing wine throughout the week, all followed by fresh coffee. We provide evening meals on six nights a week leaving you free to head out and explore the resort on one evening.
