Wintersport Holiday 2019 In Val Cenis Our Chalet Apartment

We went returned to Val Cenis inside the French Alps for this yr's wintry weather sport's holiday,

The next morning we awoke to a 3cm of snow. Not awful.

We stayed at the CHG Residences & Spas - Le Chalets de Flambeau.

The ski inn runners-up on our list were Les Portes du Soleil and Paradiski which can be huge ski regions inside the French Alps however with the mixture of the right price and the accommodation at the piste or much less than 100 meters walk to a ski raise, Dutchman and I ended up selecting Val Cenis once more.

We controlled to snag a superb deal at CHG Residences & Spas at the Les Chalets de Flambeau that's among 2 ski lifts, the Pre Novel chairlift, and the Vieux Moulin gondola, each approximately 70 meters away. And from the slopes, you can ski down up in your door. Just perfect! The chalet flats were also very satisfactory, current geared up and spacious. And right here is the cherry on pinnacle of the icing -- unfastened entrance to the spa. We can not say no to that.

Let me take you thru our first 2 days within the Alps...

Driving to the Alps...

Already in the Maurienne Valley here...

The photo above is our chalet complicated. We stayed at the floor ground which is very handy entering into and out, although we'd have desired a higher chalet apartment for the elevation and perspectives.

The Le Chalet de Flambeau has 8 chalet complexes and we stayed at the Genepi chalet building. Each floor has three chalet apartments and a ski locker is provided in step with chalet on the basement. At the principle complex is the lobby and lounge, as properly the spa and wellbeing middle.

The chalet changed into very spacious for us. There were 2 bedrooms, one of which we used as our dressing room. There were 2 toilets, 1 with a shower and a separate powder and rest room. The kitchen became lovely and nearly whole. We reported the lacking water boiler. We did an intensive stock of the kitchen utensil and home equipment due to the fact the listing the chalet gave us had corresponding high fees on them, in the event whilst there's breakage, stolen, by accident lost or delivered home by the guest.

The dwelling room and a huge terrace.

The master suite.

The 2nd bedroom which we used as our dressing room.

The separate tub and powder room.

The modest kitchenette and the view from the window.

We arrived in Val Cenis overdue afternoon on a Saturday after an about thirteen hours force which protected stops to refuel, stretch out our legs and go to the bathroom. We were so tired from the using (we left half of beyond 3am) that we elected to just stay interior for the evening. We recognise and feature visible the place anyway, so there may be no need for us to get familiarised with the surroundings.

We were additionally eating the complete time within the automobile and did not sense like eating dinner, so I just prepared some nibbles along with cheese, nuts, and dried sausage. Then we went to bed early.

Nibbles for dinner.

In the morning we awakened to a few clean snow. Three centimeters of snow fell which isn't horrific, it offers a fresh layer of snow to the old one. I love waking up within the morning and looking out the window seeing my surroundings in a blanket of white. It feels so cosy, in particular after an night of sparkling snow fall.

We have been a piece concerned approximately the snow situations at the slopes because we discovered that it did now not snow in the beyond weeks while within the northern part of the Alps, in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, huge snow has fallen, with a few villages unreachable by using vehicle and mountain slopes fearing avalanche.

Because our chalet is placed between 2 lifts, it changed into very smooth for us. The Vieux Moulin gondola became actually across our chalet over a little bridge.

Farther beforehand, simply behind the last chalet is the Pre-Novel chairlift.

We were located on a dead stop of a slope. Behind the trees is the Green Escago piste. We normally take a detour and burst off-piste to attain the the front aspect of our chalet on our skis and board.

Sunday turned into a depressing and misty day at the piste. It wasn't very promising at all. No one certainly likes a gray, protected with mist mountain. It is simply hard to see the terrain of the slopes.

My self assurance level changed into very low and that had a few repercussions on my skiing. I additionally have new ski boots because of this my toes had been being used to them. New footwear are usually an issue, they want to be worn some instances before they sense true. So lots of factors going on on the same time, sadly now not that effective on my way.

The most first-rate we've got completed is taking the Plan Cardinal raise to the 2520m pinnacle and taking place thru the blue Cupules slope after which the red Arcelle slope. This lift and the Cupules slope was closed closing 12 months because of an avalanche so we have been curious to take it. We have been told that the slope became no longer maintained but it become okay even though a few elements had been a chunk icy.

For the day we broadly speaking skied and board inside the pistes of Lanslebourg and Lanslevillard. The climate became not sincerely nice in any respect. I in the main saw a flat gray-white terrain. We deliberate to take the alternative facet of the Lanslebourg mountain the next day and just hoping it will likely be a good deal better weather.

Nonetheless, the primary day of snowboarding wasn't that a good deal of a play for me. I fell down numerous instances and on the give up of the day, my muscular tissues and whole body had been aching.

Dutchman took a image of moi. The piste and the environment camouflaged in gray, pretty tough to peer the sloping terrain.

Love this photograph of the children.

Yup, I fell down a few instances!

So after skiing, Dutchman and I handled ourselves to a few spa at the health center. We swam within the heated pool which was very first-class. Then we jumped into the jacuzzi, and then we indulged inside the steam room (hammam) and the sauna, alternating both with showers in between.

Dutchman's favourite turned into the steam room. I think we have end up a piece spoiled inside the closing iciness sports activities holiday due to the fact now we only need to choose inns with spa facilities.

The steam room and sauna definitely helped relax the sore and tired muscle mass. My body turned into bruised and burning, and after the spa, I felt a great deal better.

A funny factor happened inside the sauna. Dutchman and I were joking round approximately the Flemish and their use of the Dutch language. Its the identical language but very special in some methods. We stored on chanting the normally used phrase in Belgium, "zeker en sizable". We have been joking about it when a couple joined inside the sauna. We persevered chanting it albeit in hush tones now not realising the couple become Belgian from the Dutch talking component. LOL. What are the percentages? #palmonface

The pool place with loungers.

There have been 2 jacuzzis.

They have 3 steam rooms and three saunas.

Dinner was on the chalet condo. We brought some Dutch wintry weather fare with us. Boerenkool stamppot with rookworst (Mashed potatoes with kale and smoked sausage). I delivered a few carrots which I sauteed with onions. I needed my veggies.

After the hearty dinner, I hit the sack straight away. I become horribly tired and my body nevertheless aching (however become tons, an awful lot higher after the spa) and I wished a totally long sleep and rest to be geared up for every other skiing the next day.

Les Chalets de Flambeau sits in Les Champs, between Lanslebourg (to the left) and Lanslevillard (to the proper). I controlled to take a few snap shots of the valley and the chalet from the slopes. Check them out underneath.

Our chalet is on the some distance right cease. In the center, you will see the flat level building annexed to the principle chalet complex wherein the foyer is. This is the spa and health center.
