The apartment is genuinely ski-in and ski-out, offering luxury accommodation for four people, a swimming pool, underground parking, wifi and amazing views to the north. Subject to a minimum stay of 7 nights, arrival could be arranged for any day of the week, helping with cheaper travel arrangements and avoiding Saturday transfer traffic.
The apartment is on the outskirts of the village, in a very quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of Arc 1800. Although the village is the liveliest of the Les Arcs destinations the St Bernard apartments are never troubled by the noise of late-night apres ski. Instead, the apartment offers an amazing view of the forest surrounding Les Arcs, the Tarentaise valley below and north to Mont Blanc. For apres-ski options the apartment is an easy walk (or ski) from the famous Folie Douce for drinks and dancing at the end of the ski day, and then we have easy access for bars and restaurants in Arc 1800 for later in the evening.
A beautiful two bedroom apartment, offering a ski in & out location, swimming pool, private parking and wonderful views. The apartment is located in Chalet St. Bernard in Arc 1800, and is very comfortably furnished. It is ideal for a family of four, luxurious for a couple or can accommodate four adults without too much of a squeeze. The apartment is our family holiday property, so it is furnished to a higher standard than typical rental apartments. We offer a limited number of weeks for rental during winter and summer seasons.
To ski back to the apartment take the small piste from the Chantel nursery slopes which leads through the middle of the Alpage du Chantel development. It is possible to ski right to the entrance of the ski locker room in our residence. To ski from the apartment take the same ‘private’ piste down towards the centre of Arc 1800. The main lifts (Vagere and TransArc) are about one minute on skis or a board! Like most ski in/out property the convenience factor is less of a benefit for complete beginners, who typically will need tow or three days experience before they are able to ski to and from the apartment. The ski school meeting point in Arc 1800 is a short, but steep, walk down the piste. Alternatively there is a free resort shuttle bus which runs from Chantel to the resort centre every 20 minutes, or a nearby pedestrian gondola which runs until late evening.
If you drive an EV, there are six 22kW chargers within three minutes walk of the apartment, operated by the Shell Recharge network. The reliability and availability of the chargers seems very good.

THE APARTMENT
Chalet St. Bernard is one of five apartment buildings in the Alpage du Chantel development at Arc 1800.

The apartment is 42m2 (plus balcony), with living room/kitchen area, Bedroom 1 (double bed), Bedroom 2 (bunk beds), bathroom and separate toilet. There is also a ski locker for guests to use, with the ski locker room just a few steps from the piste. Please note that we request guests do not smoke in the apartment, but instead take advantage of the tremendous views from the balcony if they want to have a cigarette!

Fully equipped kitchen area with full-size hob, mini-oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, kettle, Nespresso coffee-machine, raclette grill, etc.
