APPARTEMENT "Le Chardon Blanc"– CHAMPAGNY-LA PLAGNE- skis aux pieds, plein sud

This was our first time staying in a low ski resort area. We normally find accommodation in Plagne Centre, but good accomodation At a reasonable price is in short supply over the New Year holidays. We luckily managed to find this lovely apartment to rent. It’s well positioned to step across to the cable car to whisk you up the mountain. Paid parking is across from the building and you can take the lift or stairs down to Champagney centre for the restaurants and amenities. There’s a lovely boulangerie in the village and a very well stocked Sherpa. We arrived by car and had purchased all our food from the supermarket in Moutier. The drive to and from the apartment was hassle free and made for a relaxing arrival and departure.The apartment was clean and well appointed with a nod to the alpine area and modern decor. The apartment had everything we needed. (Bring dishwasher tablets if you want to use it.) The beds were super comfortable. The heating was easily controllable. The ski locker on the ground floor had a boot warmer to switch on after a great day of skiing.The view from the apartment looks across to Courchevel. New Year was celebrated with a grand view of Champagney en Vanoise and Courchevel fireworks display. It was magnificent.We really enjoyed the slopes above Champagney as they are all in the sunshine and the best part of la Plagne ski area.Only problem faced was getting the timing right regarding the queue for the gondola in the morning.

Thanks for a very comfortable accommodation! Very well equipped, you can't get any closer to the ski lift. We really enjoyed our vacation and will definitely come back!

Great property right next to lifts and parking . Excellent standard of decor and equipment with hotel standard beds and bedding , also great to have both bath and shower. Amazing view and lovely large balcony big enough for all to sit on. Very much appreciated being let in early by kind host . Excellent property would rent again.

The apartment was great, felt like a smart hotel and all of the fixtures, fittings and facilities were of very high quality. The host were very helpful, we had a small issue with the wifi on the first evening but they did their best to resolve this as soon as possible. (The wifi is great by the way!). The location of the apartment is great too as it is a very short distance from the gondola and if the snow it good you can ski to within 30m of the door on your return home. The only disappointment was that the listing implied that the apartment had access to a communal poll - which as we found there wasn't one in the block we wrongly assumed we had use of the one next door. This was rather embarrassing when we were asked to leave by the owner. The pool listed is actually the local municipal pool which is quite a long way to get to. I would have had no hesitation in giving 5 stars as a review except for this one issue which I think was really just a misunderstanding, however as there was a non-skiier in our group was a key reason why we made the booking in the first place - hence the 4 rather than 5 stars.
