Chalet Lea  

Location

Chalet Lea is located in the charming resort of La Tania, which sits between Meribel and Courchevel as part of the vast Three Valleys ski area. The village itself sits inside the tree-line, its snow-topped pines making this a picture postcard resort, and thanks to its small size, it is incredibly convenient, so you're never far from the slopes or the shops, bars and restaurants at the centre of the village. The chalet itself is set on the peaceful Route du Plan du Saz, just 200 metres from the piste and lift, although for more experienced skiers, it is possible to ski straight back to the chalet off piste through the trees. The main village is only a five minute walk away, so if you're thinking of venturing out for dinner in the evening, you don't have far to go.

The Chalet

Overlooking the snow covered trees in La Tania, Chalet Lea is a traditional Savoyard chalet with a cosy log cabin feel. The exposed wood beams and roaring fireplace make this chalet a wonderful home from home for a ski holiday with family or friends. Chalet Lea is spread over two floors with six comfortable bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 guests, each with an en-suite shower room and WC.

As you enter the chalet from the ground floor you will find a boot room fitted with heated boot driers, to ensure your ski boots are warm and dry before you hit the slopes. On the same floor, there is one twin bedroom (80cm) with an en-suite shower room and WC. The spacious living room and open plan dining area are perfect for board games and family meals.

The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster and cafetière. On the terrace you can soak up the afternoon sun and unwind in the bubbling hot tub with an après-ski drink. For added comfort during your stay you will also find a washing machine and dryer on this floor. On the first floor there are four twin bedrooms (80cm) and one double bedroom (140cm), each with an en-suite shower room and WC.

There is free WI-Fi throughout the chalet, perfect if you need to work whilst away, or stream your favourite film or TV shows whilst relaxing in front of the crackling fire. If you are travelling to La Tania by car there are two covered car parking spaces in front of the chalet.

Ski France has three other chalets (Chalet Elliot East, Chalet Elliot West and Chalet Morgane) situated on the same road, making this a perfect option for groups of friends and families.

Classic Contactless Catering Service

Ski France presents the next generation of chalet holidays, for a contactless world. Your chalet will be ready on arrival - beds made, dinner ready and fridges stocked*, wine-cellars replenished, skis and lift passes all booked. But you won't see us. We'll be at the end of the phone, but there will be no contact, unless you need it. You and your family will be safe and looked-after, as we work in the background, providing everything you need.

Our contactless catering service comes with the choice of two pricing options, a fixed menu with food and drink included in the price, and our self catered option which allows you greater flexibility to eat and drink whatever you desire and the cost of the food is on supplement, at cost price, and depending on what produce you choose to order.

For those looking for a simple packaged chalet price, we are offering an all-inclusive price, which includes rental of the chalet and your food and drink for the week. Included will be breakfast, afternoon tea, a three course dinner on 6 out of 7 nights, plus unlimited wine and some beers. We have prepared a delicious menu for the week, with a mix of ready prepared meals from a local delicatessen and easy to cook dishes or sides. All that will be required from you is to pop a few things in the oven and throw together a few ingredients to make a simple salad, or steam a few vegetables as sides to your main meal.

Perhaps you want the freedom to choose your own menus, or perhaps you'd prefer to eat out more than one evening during the week, or you just love to cook yourself and enjoy the holidays where you have time to do this in a relaxed way. That's where our self catering service comes in.

Our aim is to provide the safest possible environment for a ski holiday, whilst staying as affordable as possible. The new way to holiday will be by enjoying the facilities, food and beverages but without the staff waiting on you hand and foot. That will keep things safe and affordable. However, for those in search of a little more luxury, we are able to provide drivers, chefs, daily cleaning, ski lessons etc, all of which can be discussed at the time of booking or with our concierge service prior to arrival.

*Please note that for the self catered option, all food, drink, ski hire and lift passes come at additional costs and are not included in the chalet price. Provisions will be billed at cost price and can be ordered from the list that will be sent out to you, and ski hire and lift passes can be booked in advance with our preferential rates. For our fixed menu option, the price does not include ski hire and lift passes, but it does include breakfast and afternoon tea for 7 days, plus a 3-course dinner with beer and wine for 6 days.

La Tania

Nestled in the forest at 1400m altitude between its larger, more famous neighbours of Meribel and Courchevel, La Tania is known as the best kept secret of the 3 Valleys. Originally built as apartment accommodation for the 1992 Albertville Olympics, La Tania is a small, pedestrianised resort which has been developed into a lovely chalet quarter in addition to the original apartment blocks. The reasonable prices compared to other resorts in the 3 Valleys, along with the compact resort centre, makes La Tania an affordable family-friendly base from which to explore the largest ski area in the world.

3 Valleys Ski Area
