Apartment Appartement Valena 5

Highlights
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. 

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The apartment sleeps up to 6 people in three bedrooms:

- The first bedroom is fitted with a double bed and a wardrobe, and has patio doors leading to the balcony with stunning views across the valley to the mountain beyond.  
- The second bedroom is fitted with two single beds, wardrobe and desk, and has windows to the side.
- The third bedroom has bunk beds for two people and a wardrobe, and has patio doors leading to the balcony with stunning views across the valley to the mountain beyond.  

The first bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, sink, hairdryer, and WC. The second bathroom has a shower, sink, hairdryer, and WC.  

La Tzoumaz Apartment Valena 5 is equipped with a high chair and a folding travel cot (bedding not provided) suitable for children under 2 years old, and a second is available on demand on arrival.  Please note that in accordance with the manufacturer's safety instructions, additional mattresses are not provided with the cots.

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. 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
Parking along the road in summer, outdoor public parking up the road about 100m away. 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.

In summer, the area turns into a hiking and mountain biking paradise, with hundreds of kilometres of marked trails criss-crossing the mountains, awash with alpine flowers and a range of wildlife to spot. Visit the Maison de la Foret with its wildlife exhibitions and its Five Senses Nature Trail, and the starting point of many beautiful hikes. The Bisses are relatively flat footpaths that follow the water as it trickles around the mountainsides, where for centuries farmers and villagers channelled the streams for their own uses. They have been preserved and can now be an incredible way to spend a day or more on easy hikes with stunning views across the Rhone Valley or over to the Massif des Combins. We will provide you with plenty of tourist information including our favourite suggestions for day trips that are easily reachable from La Tzoumaz, from spectacular gorge walks, cheese factories and roman festivals to rainy-day ideas such as underground lake tours. The road that winds up the mountain-top to the panoramic Croix-de-Coeur Cafe-Restaurant opens as soon as the snow melts and from here you can continue the drive (or cycle) all the way down into Verbier. Try not to miss the Swiss National Celebrations in La Tzoumaz on August 1st, or the famous festival of live music performances, the Verbier Festival, which runs from mid-July to the beginning of August.

For families
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.

Right at the top of the village is the "Defis de la Riviere", which is equipped as an outdoor physical challenge area for older kids on the river.  There are sensory walking areas for younger children and a basket swing, and also a picnic spot nearby.  

A short drive down the valley takes you to the large lake at the Parc des Iles, with its playgrounds, high-ropes park, minigolf, restaurant, miniature train and more.
