Vacation Rental Description

Home description
Champex Lac enjoys a unique setting, situated on a col between the foothills of the mountains around the Trient glacier, part of the Mont Blanc area and the totally isolated Catogne. This beautiful family resort provides majestic tranquillity.

Residence ‘Le Grand Combin’, situated on the edge of the pretty lac de Champex was originally a Victorian hotel and in 2007 was totally renovated to provide 8 apartments. The internal floor area is 123sqm with 18sqm of balcony, providing stunning views over Les Grand Combins, Mont Blanc Massif, Lac de Champex and Les Dents du Midi. The south and east facing aspect of the property provides natural light from dawn to dusk making the open living pace a bright and warm area. There is parking immediately both outside and inside the building, with lift access direct to the apartment.

The apartment is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, with solid wooden floors throughout save for tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen. Except for the French farm oak dining table, all the wooden furniture is of a contemporary style made of Brazilian waxed pine. The apartment has a home from home feel, with an emphasis on leisure and comfort in a contemporary context. Dimmer lights and a wood burning fire add ambience and warmth to the living room. Outdoor summer furniture is provided for outdoor dining and enjoyment of the exceptional views.

Champex Lac area
Champex is quite unique - its stunning location gives the sense of unspoilt wilderness yet benefits from its proximity to the Rhone Valley, France and Italy. Its offers many possibilities for a fantastic all year round holiday, from peace and tranquillity to action packed mountain sports.

Champex provides excellent skiing opportunities for all levels & is best recommended for beginners, intermediates, families and skiiers looking for challenging offpiste and tree skiing. The ski touring is particulary good. The pisted areas are served by 4 lifts and covers 25km of varied uncrowded terrain, from a level of 2,200m at La Breya. Its north facing aspect provides a long season with good quality snow that many south facing resorts lack late in the season. Skiiers from nearby resorts, such as Verbier come to Champex to enjoy the uncrowded off piste where fresh snow can be found long after a snow fall.
