The apartment is on the first floor of Aigue Marine and can be reached by lift or stairs.

On arrival it is best to use the 2 hour free parking and park undreground near the Aigue Marine entry (the landlord provides the building entry code once your booking is paid and confirmed).

Once unpacked you will need to find either an underground parking or outdoor parking and pay the week's charges at the Information Centre. Approximately €80 a week for underground and €40 for outdoor parking for the week.

Try and arrive before the rush on Saturdays to ensure you can get an underground parking.

The apartment has fully equipped kitchen with microwave/grill, coffee maker, toaster, kettle etc.

Pillows and blankes are provided and the bunk beds and sofa bed have a fitted undersheet (you will need to take your own linen, pillowcases and bathtowels)

The bathroom has a bath and shower attachment but no hook on the wall to use with the shower (but then nothing beats a long soak in the tub after a days skiing).

The TV has several channels in English and kept our two children aged 4 and 6 occupied in the evenings once they had finished skiing and sledging.

There are gd floor ski lockers which allows you to ski in and out through the rear of the building which leads down to the nearby chairlift and to Bellecote.

We liaised with a lovely lady at the Tabac regarding the collection of the apartment keys and locker keys and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment.

The owner was a pleasure to deal with an it was great being able to pay online and communicate direct via email.

There is a SPAR, bakery and other shops within a short walk (sometimes best to use the underground route!). There are several ski equipment rental shops and restaurants. For the restaurants it is often best to check and make a booking as some do not have capacity for walk in guests most evenings due to high demand. We got pizzas one evening ffy the Cheyenne restaurant and their are rotisserie chickens available from two other locations.

There are lots of great blue ski runs and the cable car from either Belle Plagne or Bellecote take you to Roche di Mio where there are several great blue/red runs (nothing too difficult). If you want a challenge try going up to the glacier or skiing to the nearby resorts which are all linked by ski lifts.

A great apartment for families with young children.
