La Chapelle-d'Abondance, Rhône 74360

Reference: PFYR-T212221. This recently built (2008) apartment is in a fantastic location, opposite the Panthiaz ski lift in La Chapelle d'Abondance which provides entry to the vast Portes du Soleil ski area. From this location it is an easy walk into the centre of the village with its shops, bars and restaurants, however there is a bus stop just outside the apartment that is on a major bus route. The property is on the 2nd floor and benefits from superb south facing views, both up and down the valley. There is everything you could possibly want from a lock up and leave ski apartment, including 3 spacious bedrooms, an open plan living area with access to the south facing balcony, bathroom, separate WC, 10m long garage, ski locker and communal parking. The peaceful mountain village of La Chapelle d'Abondance is situated between Châtel and Abondance in the Abondance Valley. It shares the same rich cultural history as its neighbouring villages with a strong agricultural background and a commitment to retaining its architectural look and cultural heritage while establishing itself as a well-run and well-connected ski resort. This north facing ski resort is known to be particularly quaint in character with a varied selection of its own pistes. At an altitude of 1020 metres La Chapelle d'Abondance lies at the heart of a traditional farming valley in Haute-Savoie below the Mont de Grange (2432 m) and the Cornettes de Bise. Only 90 minutes from Geneva airport, 30 kilometres south of Lake Geneva, a 20-minute drive from Thonon with its abundance of shops, it offers a truly accessible location. It is also part of one of the largest ski areas in the world, the Portes du Soleil, and it has direct access to its own ski slopes. The valley is an area of spectacular mountain beauty year round and the local area offers wide variety of activities from hiking, biking, swimming and golfing in the summer to every conceivable winter sport.
