We started our adventure as holiday rental owners with our cottage in the Vendee. We have rented this cottage as a Gite for 14 years and have had the best family holiday memories there. We loved having guests stay in the cottage and enjoy the area while making memories. We sold it in December 2019. We now share the same enthusiasm for renting out our apartments in the Alps and offer guests the opportunity to have the best family holiday in the mountains. The village of Arc 1950 is a unique pedestrian village concept with superb facilities and ski in/ski out access...from the boot room you go straight to the piste...This is particularly easy with children as the ESF ski lessons start from the village, with a maximum of a 3 minute walk to the meeting point for the little ones. Arc 1950 has restaurants, a small supermarket and many shops. You can also visit the shops in Arc 2000 by taking the free gondola that connects them.

Our homely, bright and warm 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment is ski-in ski-out, with the ESF ski school steps away in our pedestrian village! Spacious lounge, dining table accommodating 6 persons comfortably and an open plan kitchen fully equipped with dishwasher, oven, Nespresso machine, raclette machine.. It has a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a bedroom with bunk bed and single bed (sleeping 3), sofa bed in lounge, shower room and separate toilet. AND we absolutely love the Mont Blanc views! **Our balcony is closed for use at the present time.** The residence is well maintained with a large reception, renovated ski lockers, recently redone Spa area with sauna and steam room and a large outdoor jacuzzi. The apartment benefits from free use of an indoor pool and heated outdoor pool (in the building across the pedestrian street and through internal corridors or via the underground parking). Please note that the opening and closing times of the swimming pool, jacuzzi, hammam and sauna are from 10am - 8pm. There is also internet and cable TV. There is a parking space in the underground car park (additional cost of 98 euros for the week directly paid to the Effia Arc 1950). The car park is equipped with two charging points for TESLA electric vehicles and one charging point for all types of electric vehicles. There will be hand soap, shower gel and shampoo in dispensers. New sponges, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cleaning products will be provided as well as some toilet roll for when you arrive.

In summer there are many activities for children, including daily events, and many sports activities for adults. The usual trekking and mountain biking but also archery, tennis, paragliding...The scenery is beautiful and the outdoor pools are a family pleasure too....
