Ski Apartments to rent, Valmeinier1800, Savoie, France / Grange Bernard 2 Reviews

Really good week spent here, it's a lovely apartment. It is easy to locate and sits near the helicopter pad under Val 1800 on the piste map. It was clean and tidy and perfectly warm throughout the week. The owner was welcoming and helpful with the odd question we had. The only downside for this chalet is the location. It is about a 5 minute walk from access to the slopes but this access includes a lot of trudging on the skis rather than skiing! If the snow is bad you can ski back very close but only if you are prepared to ski down the road. (Which I was!) We had a new skier with us so took to dropping them off at Val in the car before coming back and making the trudge to the lift daily. The parking situation is a bit odd with not being allowed to park in the ample spaces due to the snow plough potentially blocking you in. That being said we were able to park about 100m away in a layby. All that being said I would still come here again as I have never stayed in a more spacious apartment, particularly for this good price. Overall we had a great week and I'd recommend it to competent fit skiiers!

Having stayed with Rob and Karen in the Summer for 2 cycling holiday, when booking a ski-ing holiday for my family, they were my first choice. The chalet is a short drive down the mountain from the main resort, and there's a regular bus up the hill if you've not hired a car. The chalet itself is great - the views are spectacular, the rooms are spacious enough for a family of 4, and could easily accommodate 6, the dishwasher is a definite bonus, and it's lovely and warm inside!

Rob and Karen are friendly and helpful, always ready of offer some advice on where to head to in order to get great snow, great food, great entertainment.

The resort is fantastic for families - there's plenty of wide, open blue runs, and green 'return to base' runs for the kids, along with some really quick red runs, and challenging black runs, particularly if you head over towards Valoire (The ski pass covers the valleys to the East and West, all the way up to the Galibier valley).

The bars and restaurants are good value, particularly the pizza place, with a mind boggling selection of pizza options! There's a reasonable selection of food to buy in the Spar up in the resort, and if you take a car you can drop down the Telegraphe for a better selection in Le Carrefour in St Michel de Maurienne.

Overall, a great holiday destination, in a great location, away from the crowds of Meribel/Courcheval/Chamonix, with amenities close by, and underfloor heating! Highly recommended.

Grange Bernard is a great place to stay in the relatively unknown resort of Valmeinier. Located in a quiet location with unspoilt views across the valley and easy access to both the 1800 resort via car or ski bus (2mins) and the slopes via a pisted path at the end of the road. Myself and some friends stayed in Apartment 1 in January and will definitely be back again in 2009.

The owners Rob and Karen are great hosts and the resort is excellent for all levels of skier, with easy access to the neighbouring town of Valloire via a modern lift system.

Lovely apartment with everything necessary for a family of 5. Situated slightly out of town (which was fine for access) and meant easy parking. Rob & Karen were extremely friendly & helpful with lots of local knowledge. We will be back!

Superbe chalet avec une vue magnifique sur les montagnes et piste de ski, l'accueil est tres chaleureux, Robert le proprietaire est tres serviable et toujours à disposition. le chlet est grand et propre un depaysement total.

le centre de Valmeinier est pas tres loin à pied et permet de faire une petite balade sympathique en famille
