Accessibility
We can accommodate wheelchair users in one of our ground floor bedrooms, but assistance will be required to access the public areas (bar, lounge dining room) situated on the first floor as there is no lift.

Outside
Our state-of-the-art hot tub and sauna are the ideal place to relax after a hard day's activities. We have a large south-facing sun terrace with garden furniture, and well-maintained garden with boules court.

Golf
Try the unusual experience of playing golf at the nearby mountain courses at Tignes or Les Arcs. You'll be amazed at how much further the ball travels at 2000m altitude, and the slopes are a good test of the accuracy of your game. You can enjoy the mountain views as you play, especially at Les Arcs where the snow-capped peak of Mont Blanc provides a stunning back drop.

Skiing
We are ideally placed to ski Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs and La Rosiere as well as the powder paradise of Sainte Foy. All these resorts can be reached within 20 minutes by car from the Auberge giving you access to some of the best skiing in the Alps. Skiers and boarders of all levels and tastes will be spoilt for choice.

Our nearest airports are Chambery, Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva all of which are served by one of the low-cost airlines. Our nearest rail station is Bourg St Maurice which is served by a direct Eurostar service in the winter. We are an easy 10 hour drive from the channel ports. A car is useful, especially in the summer.

Distances
The small resort and village of Sainte Foy Tarentaise with their shops, bars and restaurants are 5 minutes drive away, whilst the bright lights of Val d'Isere or Bourg St Maurice are 15 minutes drive away. We are within easy reach of the Vanoise National Park in summer and the lake at Annecy for swimming and water sports.
