Notes on accommodation
Unlike most ski apartments, this accommodation has a window providing natural light to all rooms. A television/DVD player is available, which provides English terrestrial channels (BBC, ITV, etc) as well as a CD player. Heating is provided in each room by individual electric heaters. Lighting is provided by ecological light bulbs. Please note this is strictly a 'no smoking' apartment. (Smoking will result in loss of security deposit). Smoking is permitted on the balcony. Pets are not allowed.
Accessibility
The apartment is on the fifth floor of six and is accessed by lift or stairs, there are about ten steps from the car park up into the entrance vestibule which, unfortunately, is not ideal for wheelchair users.
Outside
The apartment overlooks the large garden area which is great for building snowmen and the occasional snowball contest! The balcony area has a patio set and is ideal for drinks and nibbles weather permitting. There is ample car parking immeadiately outside the apartment block front door. (Private parking is available for a small refundable deposit please ask).
Golf
A demanding 9 hole course is available in Summer season in the resort which is a 5 minute walk away.
Skiing
The accommodation is in the heart of Les Deux Alpes, France. It is a quiet location which provides access to the nursery slopes, ski school and the main Jandri express lift. These facilities are quite literally two minutes walk away. The free resort bus/shuttle stop is 30m from the main door which provides further hassle free access to all the resort lifts. Shops, bars and restaurants are all within walking distance. This apartment is a must for those who hate the long walks to the lifts or for those, like us, with a young family. The nearby Cote Brune Hotel provides secure ski storage for a small charge if you want to shorten the walk even further. The hotel also has fabulous 'apres ski' under the largest umbrella in resort. The ski resort of Alpe D'Huez is a 25 minute drive away and Serre Chevalier about 1 hour by car. Buses do operate to these resorts. A six day lift pass gives free skiing in these resorts and unlimited access to the swimming pool and ice rink in Les Deux Alpes.

About the owner
I am a married man with two young children, I live and work in England. We spend all our holidays in Les Deux Alpes usually three times each year, twice skiing and once in the Summer.
I am a keen skier and have skied in France since 1989, my wife got the bug in 1994, our daughter has been skiing since she was 3 years old and our son has yet to master walking!
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Les Deux Alpes is a fantastic resort which offers extensive skiing and snowboarding for all abilities. The off piste opportunities are limitless and easily accessible.
It is a 'snow sure' resort due to the massive ski-able glacier and even boasts Summer skiing, my daughter has lessons in August!
The town is compact and friendly the bars and restaurants offer value for money and good quality food and drink. There is a large supermarket in the town which is well stocked and not overpriced.
The resort is about 1 hr 40 mins from Chambery and Grenoble airports and about 2 hrs 15 mins drive from Geneva and Lyon airports.
Unique benefits of the property
By far the biggest benefit of our property is its close proximity to the slopes and the main lifts, forget those horrendous walks in ski boots and those pesky rides on the bus before you've even considered attaching skis. We are quite literally 50m from the nursery slopes and a two minute walk to the Jandri Express, ski schools and local creche.
With a young family need I say more.
The apartment also boasts a window in every room (except the loo!). Not the usual dark claustrophobic bedrooms that can be associated with ski apartments.
