The Sapinière II and its sister chalet (Sapinière I) sit nestled into the hillside, on the slopes above La Croisette area in Les Menuires. It makes a convenient (and great value) base from which to explore the world's largest linked ski area - the 600km Three Valleys.
The chalet is part of a recently-built hamlet in a quiet spot of the resort. It's been nicely furnished with comfy beds and sofas plus a fireplace in the lounge/diner as well as a balcony for some far-reaching views. Sit and enjoy a spot of afternoon tea in front of the fire, catching up with friends on your day.
There's a small Fir wood behind the chalet (Sapinière is French for Fir) so your views are either of the woods or the slopes. The nearest lift is just beyond the trees so confident skiers and boarders can get to the lifts in no time.
Les Menuires centre and the main Croisette area is about a 15-minute walk down the gentle pistes. You'll have plenty of excellent bars, restaurants and shopping to choose from making this a really great choice if you're looking for Three Valleys skiing without the premium prices!

Split over three floors, each of the four bedrooms and cabine room are all tastefully furnished with lots of mountain charm and plenty of natural light. The ground floor has a club double room with its own ensuite bathroom with over bath shower and wc and a club twin room with private shower room and wc.
The middle floor has an economy single cabine room off of the lounge/diner and stairs lead up to the top floor where you'll find two club twins, each with a shower room. These twins share a wc.
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.
