Stunning Views in the Heart of 4 Valleys/Verbier Ski Region
Sleeps 8 - 4 Bedrooms (1 Ensuite)
|
|
Chalet Fingals is a traditional Swiss chalet designed between the owners and a local architect, and built with only the very best materials and local craftmanship. Situated on a sunny tranquille plot, the chalet has been furnished and decorated in a beautiful contempory style, with every modern convenience being made available to ensure that your holiday is as enjoyable as possible; a real home from home that we are delighted to share with you and your family and friends. The open plan living area and the wonderfully cosy upper-mezzanine floor, which offer a variety of sofa's and leather chairs that could comfortably seat 12 people, benefit from exceptional panoramic views across the Rhone valley; whilst a full length balcony, large tiled terrace and an idyllic garden patio/BBQ area capture the all day sun. Although 4 bedrooms happily sleeps 8 people, an additional 2 people could sleep on a very comfortable sofa bed on the upper-mezzanine floor - a favourite with our children!

Accessibility
Chalet Fingals shares a spacious plot with 4 other chalets and is the first to be accessed via our private road. The main entrance to the chalet is via the terrace and is only a few yards from the double parking bay. If required, the ground floor bedrooms (french doors onto patio) can also be accessed via steps from the terrace to the ground floor patio.
Outside
A large terrace provides the main access to the chalet and adjoins a full length balcony to the front offering extensive mountain views. Both can also be accessed via french doors from the lounge and dining areas. Steps also lead from the terrace to a patio and the french doors of 3 bedrooms. The main patio area is a tranquille spot at its best in the afternoon/evening with BBQ, table/chairs and comfortable garden furniture. The surrounding garden is beautiful in the summer months and is planted with local mountain plants and shrubs.
Golf
Six contrasting courses are located within an hour's drive of Haute Nendaz. Crans Montana (home of the European Masters), Verbier, Leuk Seuston and Sion are all 18 holes courses, and Sierre and Cran-sur-Sierre are 9 hole courses. If you are willing to travel a little further, 9 hole courses can also be found at Matterhorn, Source du Rhone and Riederalp.
Skiing
Nendaz is superb for beginners, intermediates and advanced skiers alike. At Nendaz, in the heart of the Four Valleys ski area, 400 km of pistes, in altitudes ranging from 1,350 to 3,330m, served by 100 cable cars and lifts await you. Much exists to make your family holiday as memorable and convenient as possible including children's ski centre, crèche, games library, ice-rink and special low rates for family ski passes. More than 90 km of glorious winter hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing will warm your heart. If you prefer more action when you're on holiday, you can have it, thanks to a snow park, freeride paradise, snowtubing area, sports centre and inviting après-ski bars. The 3,330 m high Mont-Fort Glacier guarantees excellent snow conditions from November until the end of April.
Travel
By car: approximately 8 hours from Calais.
By air: Fly to Geneva as a rule, but occasionally flights are available to the Sion regional airport. From Geneva you have a journey of stunning scenary, initially following the outskirts of Lake Geneva, then entering the mountain valleys before reaching Sion in approx. 1hr 30mins, then you have a 20 mins twisting climb up the mountain to the resort of Haute Nendaz.
Distances
Nendaz village is 2km up the road and offers plenty of restaurants, boutique shops, 3 supermarkets and numerous ski hire shops (residents at our chalet receive a 10% discount from Gaby Sports). However, the nearest boulangerie and smaller supermarket is about 1km up the road.
Further details
The closest telecabine is in the village (car parking is plentiful) which takes you up to Tracouet at 2200m. Other starting points include Siviez (10 minutes), Veysonnaz (15 minutes) and Thyon (20 minutes) which can all be accessed via a free (with ski pass) shuttle bus which stops 100yds from the chalet. Note, all locations are connected by 400km of pistes.

Guest comments
We know the owners of Chalet Fingals very well and were delighted to be asked to "test drive" a 2 week summer vacation. The chalet has been built and furnished to a very high specification and has a very warm homely atmosphere, including a generous spirits selection! The location offers a superb array of summer activities including tranquil well sign-posted bisse walks, swimming in nearby lakes or Nendaz's own outdoor pool, or for the more adventurous mountain biking in abundance. Nendaz itself has a lovely easy pace about it and provides a wonderful array of boutique shops and restaurants. Being experienced skiers we also look forward to our winter "test drive" invitation! Ian & Janet Cambell, Ilkley, West Yorkshire.
House swap
House swap considered. We are a family of six so we would require a minimum of 3 bedrooms (1 double and 2 twin bedrooms), but an additional double bedroom would be beneficial.
