Charming farmhouse with organic food, log fires, sauna & hot tub

Experience log fires, delicious organic food and real alpine village life in our luxury Les Arcs farmhouse ski chalet. The Woodshed has 7 large bedrooms (6 ensuite), two living areas, a library area and separate games room. We provide 5 course evening meals using fresh organic and locally sourced ingredients. Our shuttle service takes you up to the ski lifts every day and brings you back when you’re ready in the afternoon (less than 10min drive). Groups booking the whole chalet get a 5% discount. The farmhouse is perfect for relaxing in after a hard day on the slopes. You can curl up in front of the fire in our spacious 'medieval' sitting room (formerly the stables, it has stone walls and a large log fireplace), or take time out with a good book in the library area. We've also got an additional sitting room with a stove, separate dining room, and a games room in the cellar. The Woodshed is great for weekend and short breaks too - we have no set changeover day.

Accommodation and Facilities for the chalet in France

Snowsure skiing in winter

The farmhouse sits at 2700 ft (800m) and is in the middle of the Paradiski domain, one of the largest in the world (formed by the joining of the Les Arcs and La Plagne domains). The resort offers over 420km of snowsure skiing, benefiting from 2 glaciers over 3000m high. You can either use our minibus transfer, take the local shuttle bus or drive to the resort (7mins/7km to the lifts in Montchavin-Les Coches, La Plagne or 15 mins to lifts in Peisey-Vallandry, Les Arcs).

Great walking & mountain biking in summer

The Woodshed is in beautiful Alpine walking and cycling country. It's just off the GR5 long distance path, at the start of the Vanoise National Park, and the Tour de France passes through nearby Bourg St Maurice. There are lots of local walks nearby, with footpaths leading off through the woods at the back of the farmhouse. We can provide maps and walking notes for our favourite walks. There are excellent mountain biking trails close at hand (indeed, the Bike Village, a well-regarded mountain biking holiday company, is based just across the village from our farmhouse).

Skiing Information:

The Paradiski resort rises to over 3000m and has over 420kms of lift-linked runs. Local skiing in Peisey Vallandry and Montchavin is excellent offering slopes to suit every level from beginners to experts. There are beautiful forest runs, several nursery areas, a snowboard park, and two glaciers (Bellecote and Aigle Rouge). The piste-side bars and restaurants are good value (not the inflated prices of the Three Valleys), and not too crowded. The Montchavin-Les Coches and Peisey-Vallandry valleys are also heaven for off-piste adventurers... and a favourite spot for international freeriders. The farmhouse is also in the perfect location for ski safari holidays, with international resorts including Meribel, Courchevel, Tignes, Val d'Isere, Ste Foy, and La Rosiere all within an hour's drive. You can either self-drive, or ask about our 'Powder Safari' packages (3 or 6 days all inclusive off-piste skiing/riding led by a qualified mountain guide, visiting a different resort every day)
