A fully renovated 115sqm 3 bedroom apartment in an old farmhouse spread over 2 floors plus a mezzanine. Situated in the old hamlet of Bataillette on the edge of the resort it is possible to ski right to the front door of the apartment. The lifts are a short walk or a 30 second shuttle ride away. The shuttle runs all day Sunday-Friday. The property was fully renovated in 2013 in a traditional style
using local craftsmen and features hand-crafted items throughout. The interior is completed with a stone floor and an extremely comfortable Chesterfield suite featuring 2 large sofas and a club chair. Outside the ski season the apartment offers great walking, hiking and mountain biking opportunities direct from the front door. The wider Haute Tarentaise and Savoie area has a rich and varied history having been ruled at various times by both Italy and France. The resort itself shares a 25km border Italy and several historic fortifications are within an easy drive. These include the Fort de la Platte, Fort du Truc and Fort de la Redoute Ruinee. There are several nature reserves in the area with the Réserve Naturelle des Hauts de Villaroger being a 15 minute drive away. Please be aware that this area serves as a refuge of the Tetras-Lyre and can only be accessed with an approved guide. The apartment contains several maps and books detailing local walks for all levels of fitness. The walk to the hamlet of Le Monal is easily achievable whilst the return hike to Lac Noir is likely to take most of the day but is well worth the effort.
