Vacation Rental Description
The ski/summer apartment is in Aiguille Grive, an attractive, wooden clad apartment complex in Charmettoger, set among trees at the edge of a forest. It is very conveniently situated for skiers and snowboarders as the lift is so close by, and you can ski back to the door. The whole of Les Arcs as well as the huge Paradiski area (425 km of pisted runs) are easily accessible from the doorstep. For convenience there is a bakery which also sells basic provisions, and a ski hire and ski pass shop within the complex.
Charmettoger is one of the three main villages that make up Arc 1800. It is a relatively quiet part with lovely views over the valley and magnificent mountains, yet only a short walk away is the busy, cosmopolitan centre of Arc 1800, with its variety of excellent restaurants and lively bars. Supermarkets, other shops, the ski school, tourist office, and a laundrette are there too.
