Appartement Mont Parrain 19

Highlights
Ideally situated in central La Tzoumaz, this beautifully refurbished apartment next to the main telecabin departure point is ski-in and ski-out. The enlarged kitchen is a superb addition from the recent refurbishment and is a rare and delightful find in such an apartment. The supermarket, restaurants bars and children's playground are all just a few steps away so there's no need to bring a car if you don't want to.  Sleeping up to 6 people, the apartment has both front and rear balconies.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The apartment sleeps up to 6 people as follows:
Bedroom 1: double bed (160 x 190cm), wardrobe & chair, windows with views to the rear & glass door with access to private balcony with outdoor seating 
Bedroom 2: two single beds (90 x 190cm), windows with views to the rear, wardrobe
Bedroom 3: bunk beds for 2 people (80 x 190cm), shelf, opaque window to the living area. Please note that the upper bunk has no barriers and so is not suitable for younger children.  Please note that this room has no external windows.

The bathroom is fitted with bath (with overhead shower), sink, heated towel rail, and separate WC.

La Tzoumaz Apartment Mont Parrain 19 is equipped with a high chair and a folding travel cot (60 x 120cm, 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
The main area of this pleasant apartment is an open kitchen/living/dining area. The fully-renovated kitchen is equipped with everything you might need for family catering, including a dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, filter coffee machine, kettle, toaster, oven, hob and fridge. There are fondue and raclette sets for a traditional Swiss evening in front of the mountain views. Each room is fitted with thermostatically-adjustable central heating radiators. There is a communal (card-operated) washing machine and dryer available in the building, along with a shared ski-storage room. 

Relaxing
It is so convenient to be able to ski (or mountainbike!) right back to the apartment that you won't find it hard to relax. Take a moment on the balcony to admire the views across the valley.  On a blue-sky day, the view stretches 20km, from the floor of the Rhone Valley up to the peaks of the Haut de Cry and the Mont Gond. The south-facing balony at the rear is accessed through one of the bedrooms, and has views up the mountainside where you can catch a glimpse of passing skiers on their way to the bottom of the main piste.  Take a seat in the living room with a glass of local wine at the end of an exhilirating day in the mountains, or prepare a hearty meal for the group to help recharge for another incredible day.  If you are in need of distraction, there is a music player and a wall-mounted flatscreen television with cableTV.  The village centre is just a few steps away and it won't take you long to reach the supermarket or to explore the sprinkling of bars and restaurants.

Internet
Apartment Mont Parrain 19 is equipped with high-speed WIFI for your own 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.

Parking and access
There is a single parking space reserved for the apartment in the shared car park area underneath the building. Additional parking spaces are available in the free outdoor public car park 500m down the road. Winter tyres and/or snow chains sometimes necessary to reach the village in winter due to frequent snowfalls, however chains must be removed before entering the car park underneath the apartment building. From here stairs or an elevator take you to the first floor, where you will find the front door. 

There is an additional pedestrian/skier access at the rear of the building. The apartment 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
Apartment Mont Parrain 19 is ski-in and ski-out as it is situated at the bottom of the main piste, next to the departure point of the main telecabin.  This 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.
