Chez Helene is a cosy warm comfortable wooden Ski Chalet in the pretty mountain village of Montagny, on the back of La Plagne, and is opposite the ski resort of La Tania (Courchevel/3 Valleys) on the sunny side of the Bozel valley, (and is above Brides Les Bains). With 6 bedrooms, and 8 double beds, the Chalet sleeps 8-16 guests in comfort on memory foam mattresses, though I generally recommend 12 as a maximum number for comfort in the living areas. The Chalet has a large open plan kitchen, dining, lounge area on the first floor, with 5 bedrooms/7 double beds on the top floor, and a self contained en suite studio on the ground floor. The chalet boasts A HUGE 2.85m x 2.55m combined Steam/Sauna, with 3 tier, L shaped Beech wood bench seating, Bluetooth music and mood lighting. Perfect for up to 16 guests sitting shoulder to shoulder :-) South facing, the Chalet is heated in the winter by the low winter sun, and is bright and airy. A large sun terrace, and two south facing balcony's provide ample space in which enjoy the Summer sun. Plentiful free parking, a local bar and restaurant, numerous restaurants and bars and shops, (ski hire, banks, Spar & 8to8 food stores, bakers, pharmacy, ski bus, post office etc) are available in Bozel, just 6 mins drive away. And just 100m from the Chalet, Les Boutons D'Or, a lovely friendly local restaurant & Bar.

I love to ski and paraglide and living here in the French Alps provides me with an amazing playground in which I can indulge my sporting passions. 18 years ago I discovered the joys of skiing and paragliding and just had to find a home in these wonderful mountains. After 2 years of searching I found this wonderful wooden Chalet, in a pretty mountain village, perfectly located for skiing and paragliding in both the 3 Vallees and Paradiski ski domains. With 4 (grown up) children I wanted a large enough home in the mountains that would comfortably accommodate my family of 12, and after viewing nearly 200 properties found this wonderful Chalet. A real home from home, fully fitted with everything you need for the perfect Winter Skiing and Summer Alpine Activity holidays, and large enough to comfortably accommodates large extended or multiple families and groups of 12 to 16. I can work, live, play and simply sit back on the balcony and survey the magnificent mountains that surround me. With views across the valley towards La Tania and the 3 Vallees, the start of the Meribel Valley, the valley below, and the night time lights from Brides les Bains in the valley, I really have found my own little piece of paradise.

SKIING - The ski lift at Champagny-en-Vanois for skiing in La Plagne /Les Arcs/Paradiski, is just a short 13 minutes drive from the Chalet, and the ski lift at Le Praz for skiing in the 3 Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel & Val Thorens) is just 20 minutes away - offering access to both the Worlds largest and 3rd largest linked ski domains with over 1,025km of groomed and natural pistes, for all abilities, from absolute beginners to off piste couloir experts. In addition, the ski domains offer vast off piste areas, twisting canyons, ski parks, numerous boarder/ski cross tracks, runs through the woods, long uninterrupted 7km+ runs down to the lower lifts and air bag jumps provide the most exciting and varied skiing areas in the World. The Chalet is very close to the Vanois National park, incorporating the stunning high valley of Champagny-le-Haut, with the ice climbing tower, dog sledding, and amazing spring/summer walking tracks. And the small picturesque ski resort of Pralognan-en-Vanois, Tour de France finishing routes are easily accessible from the chalet, including La Madelaine, Courchevel (airport finishing stage) and slightly further the famous Glandon, Croix de Fer, etc.
