Further details for this holiday apartment rental in St Jean-de-Sixt, France

Terrace: The apartment features a paved terrace and green area. Deckchairs for sun-lounging are stored outside for use when the weather is bright. There is also an outdoor dining set for 4 people.

Driving in Snow: Don't forget your snow-chains, these are compulsory items to carry in your car for some of the roads in this area during winter. Our access road is cleared by snow plough when required, but you may need the chains in-between visits if the snow is heavy. If you have 4 wheel drive you're unlikely to have any problems.

Ski: Excellent skiing is available in Grand Bornand and La Clusaz with a range of runs from Green to Black. Off-piste skiing is also a possibility, but please use a guide for your own safety. You can drive to the base of the lifts in many cases, or perhaps more conveniently, use the ski-bus, which is free with your carte d'hote. They run very regularly through the season. We can highly recommend an excellent ski school based in St Jean (Aravis Concept). The owner, Emmanuel Schlitz, has done wonders with our 7 year-old, who worships him as a hero! He's also good with useless adults like Claire and I. He and his team speak English and offer a full range of classes, both individual and group (max group size typically 6 people). We recommend Contact Sports for your ski hire; the shop is very close to the apartment. You can get a 10% discount during school holidays, or 20% outside of these dates, on equipment rental with fliers available in the apartment. Have fun!

French Via Ferrata

Bucks Guy Bucks, UK
Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The property was ideal for a short break to sample the local Via Ferrata and mountains in September. Comfortable, cosy and very clean it was also ideally located with supermarkets/bakeries nearby. Two local sports shops hired equipment and September meant easy travelling as the roads were quiet.
Ian and Claire were the perfect owners, always accessible and happily offering advice which made everything run smoothly.
Annecy a worthwhile day out together with the Saturday market at Thones. Overall, highly recommended

Review of August 2009 holiday

headpicker North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: September 13, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a great time in the appartment and we found it very clean and comfortable. It was completely as described and extremely well equipped which made our stay a pleasure.
We have stayed in this area before but further into the mountains in Le Chinaillion. We found St Jean a slightly better location as it offers all the charm of an Alpine village without the long twisty drive everyday. St Jean had a good range of shops and restraunts with a very popular bakery just a stroll from the apartment.
We would definately recommend the apatrment although we would not want it to affect our chances of getting the dates that we would want !!!

Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
A fantastic apartment, clean and well equipped and in a wonderful location in a lovely small town. Had a fantastic time skiing in La Clusaz and Grand Bornand, both delightful towns themselves and within very easy reach. Would love to go back and look forward to the day that we do! I recommend this apartment and beautiful region and my thanks to Ian and Claire in their very helpful assistance prior to our holiday. Ian & Michelle, Leicestershire.
