Chalet Christine was built in the traditional Alpine style from Russian pine - it has a wonderful ambience from the log-cabin style structure which makes it warm and welcoming. The chalet is located in the village of La Tania (Three Valleys), just a stone's throw away from the piste and the high speed gondola lift - in good conditions you can ski out to the gondola from the driveway, as it is just below us. If you're not up to this short descent, then for those who know La Tania, we are right next to "the bridge" which is a walkway with a lift at the end taking you down into the village centre and pistes.



The chalet benefits from two living rooms which can be joined together to form one large room or separated - this is ideal for groups with children, where the kids can enjoy the X-Box or satellite TV in one room leaving the other free for the adult conversation. Each living room has a welcoming fireplace and doors to the balconies which have stunning views over the Bozel Valley.



Making use of the "the bridge", Chalet Christine is just a short walk from the centre of La Tania village where you will find a number of bars and restaurants - both for après ski and for the evening meal on chalet staff's day off. There is a variety to choose from including the popular "Ski Lodge" bar.



Chalet Christine can accommodate up to 28 people in total in several different room types - including two family "suites" which consist of a double room and a separate bunk room sharing a shower room between them. There are also two bunk en-suite rooms which can be used for two children or as single rooms for adults without incurring a single supplement - this chalet is usually able to accommodate groups of all shapes and sizes!

The main menu is identical wherever you go so even in our lower priced chalets, you won't go short of good quality food. We want to see left-overs on our tables - or you haven't had enough to eat. We can cater for all types of special dietary requirements - including vegetarian, gluten free, lactose-free, nut-free and child menus with many products imported from England to suit the tastes of the British kids.



Apart from the traditional porridge, cereals and continental breakfast, we also include a full cooked English breakfast with bacon, sausages and baked beans (especially imported from the UK) to keep the real traditional taste .... a great way to start the day. And when you return from skiing, our afternoon tea will satisfy those hunger pangs with French bread and home-made cake in plentiful supply - not limited to one piece per person so no need to make sure you're first back from the slopes!



On the chalet couple's day off (one day in the middle of the week), a buffet breakfast will be available for you to help yourselves - the only day of the week when the Full English option is not available. The resort managers and other chalet staff will be around to make sure you have all you need and to clear up and set the table for afternoon tea - although your chalet couple are away for the day, the resort managers will be available if you need anything. In the evening, you can try out one of the local restaurants - we have the menus in the chalets and our staff can help you make your choice and book you a table.



Our menus are not complicated - they are based on normal home cooked food rather than fancy complicated recipes. This way we ensure that most options suit the tastes of most people and the staff are more than capable of producing perfect results every time.
