Ski Holidays France

The Sapinière I and its sister chalet (Sapinière II) lie in a hamlet right on the slopes, just above La Croisette in Les Menuires. Access to the slopes and the wider 600km Three Valleys ski area couldn’t be easier making this a convenient and great value home-from-home.

The apart-chalet is very comfortably furnished with large sofas and a gorgeous wood burner in the lounge/diner. Sit and warm yourself after skiing or boarding all day whilst soaking in the dramatic views through the large windows. There’s a small balcony with uninterrupted views of La Masse and the slopes of Les Menuires, perfect for grabbing a morning moment of calm.

Another way to relax is to head to the small shared spa area in the residence which you’ll have access to a couple of times a week. There’s a sauna, steam room and hot tub plus a relaxation area to completely unwind. There is a small charge for using the facilities, but this can be paid for locally.

Sapinière is French for Fir, which is apt as there’s a small Fir wood behind the chalets, so your views are either of the slopes or the woods. Just down from the woods is the nearest lift. Improvers to advanced can clip in straight from the residence and be at the lifts in no time.

To get to the centre of Les Menuires is about a 15-minute walk down the gentle pistes where you arrive in La Croisette with an excellent choice of bars, restaurants and shopping. Or stop off at the small l’Etoile bar which is in the middle of the nearest piste. This really is a great choice if you’re looking for Three Valleys skiing without the premium prices!

Rest and relaxation
The small shared spa is a wonderful place to unwind at the end of the day. There’s a gorgeous wooden barrel hot tub, steam room and sauna plus a shower and relaxation area to truly chill out.

It’s open between 4 and 8 pm and costs around €7 per person for a 50-minute session. The spa takes a maximum of 10 people and you can reserve the whole spa for approximately €65. Unfortunately, children under 14 aren’t allowed in the spa.

Food and drink
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.
