This convenient corner apartment is perfectly situated in sight of the main La Tzoumaz ski-lift and has full-length balconies to both the front and the rear. The views across the valley are incredible and there is also a view of the nearby telecabins. The main area of the apartment consists of an open kitchen/living/dining area. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Equipment In the open kitchen you will find all you need for holiday catering: a fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, oven, 4-ring hob, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine, filter coffee-machine, plus fondue and raclette sets for a traditional Swiss evening here in the mountains. The central heating radiators in each room can be individually adjusted to your needs and the apartment offers a fireplace too. There is a shared (coin-operated) washing machine and dryer available in the building. A shared ski storage room helps to keep your equipment dry and organised. Relaxing It's so easy to relax when you are staying in such a convenient location. The skiing and the supermarket are only 200m away, and a forest hiking trail starts right next to the building. Once inside at the end of the day, it's easy to forget about the everyday world away from the mountains. Relax in the pleasantly wood-clad living area after a fun day on the slopes, listen to some music or distract yourself with cable-TV, or simply sit on the balcony with a good book. On a blue-sky day, the view stretches 20km, up to the peaks of the Haut de Cry and the Mont Gond. The balcony can be a perfect spot for a cup of morning coffee as the sun rises over the mountainscape in front of you during the spring and summer months. A footpath passes just in front of the apartments if you want to explore the mountainside. Otherwise it is only a short walk around the resort to experience its sprinkling of bars and restaurants, playground (or outdoor ice rink, depending on the season!) swimming pool & summer tennis court. Internet Apartment Valena 5 is equipped with free WIFI for private use during your stay. Pets We’re sorry but this is a pet-free property. Please browse our selection of pet-friendly rentals if you would like to travel with your pet. Access and Parking There is a single parking garage reserved for the apartment next to the building. Winter tyres and/or snow chains sometimes necessary in winter due to frequent snowfalls. It is a 2-minute walk from the bus stop, supermarket and children's playground. Car not necessary due to proximity to ski-lifts, restaurants and supermarket - contact us for airport or railway transfers. Winter The apartment is only a 200m walk through the Resort Centre from the Savoleyres telecabin. The modern high-speed telecabin carries you from La Tzoumaz up to the top of the Savoleyres in less than 8 minutes, from where you can decide to ski back on the quiet La Tzoumaz slopes or ski down to Verbier’s legendary slopes and world-class off-piste opportunities in the vast 4-Valleys ski area. Summer In the peak summer season (from early July to late August), we provide you with free VIP pedestrian lift-passes, half-price mountain-bike daypasses and a range of other discounts. The telecabin link to Verbier operates daily at this time of year from 08:45 to 12:30 and from 13:30 to 16:45, meaning that you can easily access the famous resort as a pedestrian, or accompanied by your bicycle or e-bike. For a small supplement you can even use a variety of mountain lifts to make your way up to Mont Fort at 3300m for the highest fondue in Europe and incredible mountain panoramas that include Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Other things to note The centre of La Tzoumaz benefits from an outdoor ice-skating rink in winter, and a children's playground area in summer, with a rope-based agility park alongside more traditional equipment such as slides. A fun channel system with running water is built into the hillside to provide plenty of entertainment for older children too. At the exit of the village the Domus playground is a fabulous spot, often bathed in late afternoon sunshine, with swings, a zipline, see-saw, climbing frames and even old tractors to clamber on. It is overlooked by an outdoor cafe (check opening hours) providing drinks, snacks and ice-creams. There are rabbits, donkeys, goats, and there is also rock-climbing on the local crag in the background (contact us for equipment and instructors). The Maison de la Foret has a cafe area for drinks and snacks (check opening hours), wildlife exhibitions and its Five Senses Nature Trail with hands-on activities to borrow such as bird-whistling and learning to draw. The Nature Trail has disabled parking and is accessible to wheelchairs and children's buggies.
