Accessibility:
Chalet Fingals shares a spacious plot with 4 other chalets and is the first to be accessed via our private road. The main entrance to the chalet is via the terrace and is only a few yards from the double parking bay. If required, the ground floor bedrooms (french doors onto patio) can also be accessed via steps from the terrace to the ground floor patio.
Nendaz village is 2km up the road and offers plenty of restaurants, boutique shops, 2 supermarkets and numerous ski hire shops (residents at our chalet receive a 10% discount from Gaby Sports). However, the nearest boulangerie and smaller supermarket is about 1km up the road.
The closest telecabine is in the village (car parking is plentiful) which takes you up to Tracouet at 2200m. Other starting points include Siviez (10 minutes), Veysonnaz (15 minutes) and Thyon (20 minutes) which can all be accessed via a free (with ski pass) shuttle bus which stops 100yds from the chalet. Note, all locations are connected by 400km of pistes
Outside:
A large terrace provides the main access to the chalet and adjoins a full length balcony to the front offering extensive mountain views. Both can also be accessed via French doors from the lounge and dining areas. Steps also lead from the terrace to a patio and the French doors of 3 bedrooms. The main patio area is a tranquil spot that benefits from sun most of the day, and then the late evening sun can be enjoyed on the downstairs patio with BBQ, table/chairs and comfortable garden furniture. The surrounding garden is beautiful in the summer months and is planted with local mountain plants and shrubs.
Ski:
Nendaz is superb for beginners, intermediates and advanced skiers alike. At Nendaz, in the heart of the Four Valleys ski area, 400 km of pistes, in altitudes ranging from 1,350 to 3,330m, served by 100 cable cars and lifts await you. Much exists to make your family holiday as memorable and convenient as possible including children's ski centre, crèche, games library, ice-rink and special low rates for family ski passes. The ski schools are excellent with very friendly instructors & the 'kids area' at Tracouet is huge, safe and very well catered. More than 90 km of glorious winter hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing will warm your heart. If you prefer more action when you're on holiday, you can have it, thanks to a superb snow park, freeride paradise, snowtubing area, sports centre and inviting après-ski bars. The 3,330 m high Mont-Fort Glacier guarantees excellent snow conditions from November until the end of April.
