About this property

Large Alpine Chalet near Les Arcs

Stunning sunny position, character interiors:

· Large living room/kitchen
· TV/DVD
· Breathtaking balconies
· Village location, 10mins from Bourg St Maurice
· Quick access to a range of ski areas
· Nearest ski lift 6km - funicular to Les Arcs
· Fantastic views of Les Arcs and La Plagne
. Summer and Winter holiday location.

Skiing/Snowboarding. The funicular up to Les Arcs 1600 which connects to the enormous Paradiski is only 10-12 minutes drive down the mountain from the Chalet.

Also within about a half hour drive there’s access to many of the best resorts in the Tarentaise Valley, Les Arcs, La Plagne, La Rosière, St Foy and even Val d'Isère and Tignes.

In Summer, with mountain biking, horse riding, canoeing, golf, hiking, white water rafting, climbing, paragliding and even Summer Skiing, the Tarentaise should appeal to the most active person.

The unique charm and character of the mountain villages makes them a truly magical place to simply relax and soak up the atmosphere. They're not purpose built holiday resorts; they are living, breathing villages where traditional alpine lifestyle's survive. The breath taking '5 Lakes' walk starts from the fort and takes around 2 hours  

The Cormet de Roseland, which passes below the village, provides the spectacular setting for a famous stage of 'The Tour De France'. Along this route towards Beaufort lies the extaordinary L'aiguille des glaciers, part of the Tour du Mont-Blanc, a protected vallee only accessible in Summer that retains it's glacier snow thoughout the year.

Please note: The fireplace is not available for use, but the chalet is lovely and warm without it.

Un très beau chalet authentique

Très beau chalet conforme à la description. Bien équipé et très agréable. La voisine qui s'en occupe est très réactive, un des ballons d'eau chaude a lâché, il a été remplacé en 24 heures. Seul bémol : il serait s'il était mieux insonorisé.

Great place for 3 families

In the house all the comfort is available. Good service and quick communication with owners. Only discomfort is the distance to the skislopes.

Très bon séjour au chalet Tarine, merci beaucoup à la famille WONTNER !

Notre groupe de randonneurs a beaucoup apprécié le chalet Tarine: grand espace tant dans la pièce de vie que dans les chambres ,bel aménagement de ce chalet ancien, décoration chaleureuse et très soignée (mais pas surfaite), luminosité et vue, équipement complet et de qualité, nombreux sanitaires, grande propreté des lieux à l'arrivée (merci Jacqueline !), calme dans le village et voisinage très sympathique ! Nous avons été sensible à la confiance des propriétaires qui mettent ainsi à disposition leur bien familial avec tout ce qu'il contient. Tout cela donne envie d'y revenir ! Un seul bémol : les nombreuses montées / descentes vers la vallée liées à la situation aux Echines Dessous (route étroite et sinueuse, environ 10 à 15 minutes de trajet de Bourg Saint Maurice jusqu'au village) et l'isolation phonique entre étage moyenne (comme dans la plupart des chalets anciens)..

Wonderful Chalet

We booked the chalet for a weeks Easter skiing and were delighted on all fronts. A wonderful property all very well laid out with a fantastic all round entertainment area on the top floor. We drove to the les Arc funicular to access some really good snow in the upper levels and it proved a really easy process as we were able to park alongside the platform. The beauty of the chalet was also the fact that it is in a genuine rural farming community and we were also able to take in some stunning walks.

Charming holiday in Chalet Tarine!

Chalet Tarine apsistojome slidinėjimo atostogų metu. Labai nudžiugome, kai įėję apžiūrėjome namą. Jame buvo labai šilta, bendra atmosfera labai jauki. Namas didelis ir puikiai įrengtas. Vyrauja žavus autentiškas interjeras, jautiesi visai kaip namie. Čia yra viskas ko reikia: penki atskiri miegamieji, keturi vonios kambariai, pilnai įrengta virtuvė su indais, puodais ir visais įmanomais įrenginiais. Puikūs vaizdai iš terasų. Namas tvarkingas ir prižiūrėtas. Savininkas labai malonus žmogus, suteikė visą reikalingą informaciją, patarė įvairiais klausimais. Puiki vieta apsistoti atostogoms! --------- We stayed in Chalet Tarine during our ski holidays. We were really excited when we first came into the chalet. It was very warm and cosy inside. The chalet is huge and decorated in a very nice authentic style. The overall feeling is just like home. The house has everything you might need: five separate bedrooms, four bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, amazing seating area and marvellous view from terraces. Beside all that, the owner was very helpful and provided us with all the information that might be needed. I highly recommend this place!

Настоящее французское шале!

Впервые нам довелось жить в настоящей французской деревне. Высоко в горах, где кроме нас никаких туристов, только крестьяне и коровы. Добрые соседи разрешили нам посмотреть как они доят своих коров. Для жителей больших городов это уже становится экзотикой. Прекрасно спроектированный, дом в стиле Шале отлично оснащен для полноценного отдыха. С балкона открываются чудесные виды на курорт Лез Арк, до которого всего 17 км на автомобиле (или до фуникулера всего 6 км.) место для уединенного отдыха для большой семьи или дружной компании. Тут можно и просто побродить по горам либо почитать книгу любуясь на горы. Прекрасный отдых сезона 2014-15 для нас был омрачен лишь малым количеством снега. Но в этом есть свои плюсы, нам не пришлось ни разу использовать цепи для наших автомобилей. Если станет скучно можно съездить на экскурсии в ближайшие города (мы к примеру посетили Анси -просто чудо) спасибо Тому за отличный лыжный сезон. Лез Арк один из лучших курортов для лыжников и сноубордистов.

Très beau chalet

Le chalet est très cosy et agréable. Pas de fausse note. Aucun problème pour 8 adultes et 4 enfants. Très proche de Bourg Saint Maurice et pratique pour monter aux Arc par le funiculaire. Prévoir pour la voiture un équipement adapte car la route des Echines peut être assez glissante!

amazing chalet with incredible views

we had a fantastic honeymoon, the chalet was amazing with an incredible interior so much time must have been spent on all the decor. The views are brilliant you could see right across the valley to the vanois express. We wanted a very active holiday and the chalet is really well placed to get to all the activities we wanted to do like Downhill mountain biking, Canyoning, and climbing and my personal favorite which was the Hydro boarding on the river Isere from bourg down to aime. We had a great time, it really is a special place!

Prekrasna ku?a i najbolje skijanje u Europi!

Chalet Terine je prekrasna ku?a ure?ene u rustikalnom stilu. Nalazi se u brdima iznad gradi?a Bourg St. Maurice, s pogledom na skijalište Paradiski, koje je sigurno jedno od najljepših u Europi. Ku?a je vrlo prostrana i omogu?uje udobann smještaj za nekoliko obitelji. Sve sobe imaju pripadaju?e kupaonice, a posebno oduševljava velika dnevna soba s kuhinjom i blagovaonicom na vrhu ku?e. Nakon izvanrednog skijanja na osun?anim stazama Paradiskija tamo bismo provodili divne ve?eri uz kamin. Tom je odli?an doma?in koji je bio od pomo?i za sve što nam je trebalo. Od srca preporu?ujemo Chalet Terine i Toma kao doma?ina.

Beautiful Chalet!

Beautiful Chalet, extremely comfortable and lovely lay out. Suitable for groups and families. The location was great because we were able to chose different ski areas everyday. In our case Les Arcs followed by Rosiere etc...

Wunderschönes Chalet

Tolle Ambiente! Ein wunderschönes Chalet dass zugleich für Gruppen oder Familien gut ist. Die Location hat den Vorteil das man nicht an einem Ski Gebiet gebunden ist. Wir haben z.B Les Arc und La Rosiere benutzt. Zufällig hatte La Rosiere an dem Samstag einen Angebot für die Skipässe gehabt das wir gleich ausgenutzt hatten. Immer wieder gerne!

Un très beau chalet dans un environnement de choix

Magnifique chalet quasi luxueux décoré avec beaucoup de goût et d'authenticité. Chaque chambre est attenante à une salle de bain, les literies sont de très bonne qualité. A partir du chalet, de très belles promenades (notamment les 5 lacs) et du pararente sont possibles. Un délicieux endroit dans un cadre éblouissant. A recommander

Perfect stay for cyclists

Perfect renovated farm in a small village near to Bourg St Maurice. Large kitchen and living and at least 7 sleepingrooms with bathroom. We stayed with a group of cyclers and climbed at La Plagne, Les Arcs, Petit St Bernard, Roselend and each day 6 km climb to the chalet. A sportive challenge.

Great Bnb Chaelet near Bourg St. Maurice

Our stay at Tom's chalet near Bourg Saint Maurice was just great. His chalet was beautifully decorated and furnished. We met his very friendly neighbors and really enjoyed the local ambiance. The area in summer is hiking and bike paradise. Can't say enough good things about our stay here.

Just a great holiday!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Chalet Tarine. It is a big Chalet, very comfortable, renovated in the respect of the Alps's spirit. The view is amazing from the cosy living room. We recommend this place to anyone who want an efficient rest.

Can't wait to return :)

We had an incredible stay, couldn't recommend Tom's chalet more. We visited at the last weekend of the ski season, so were blessed with hot sun and heavy snow during our one week stay! The chalet is located up on the hill, in a group of other farm houses, a ten minute windy road from the town - stock up on food supplies before you get there (we didn't, and after a long drive were too tired to head out. oops!) Tom was a fantastic host, despite us not actually meeting him, and got back to us quickly when we arrived and had a question. The chalet itself is INCREDIBLE. Very spacious, finished to a high standard, warm, plenty of things to keep children occupied (also with a cot and high chair). Really can not say enough positive things here. Can't wait to return :)

Very charming and comfortable

This is the best renovated and furnished chalet I have been to. Very charming, comfortable and allowing privacy to a large group. Tom was extremely responsive and helpful with all our questions. The location is great, and we hope to be back end of the summer for hiking.

Great cycling in Les Echines!

In late June a great week in Les Echines. Maison Wontner truly is a wonderful house with all the luxury you could wish for. Situated on a hillside in a quiet small village. From the living room and bedrooms you have wonderful views over the valley of Bourg Saint Maurice. For five days we had great day cycling trips. A really mecca for cyclists. The villa is centrally located and from there you can climb at least six beautiful cols. The Petit Saint Bernard, La Plagne, the Cormet de Roseland, Arc2000, Col de la Madelaine and an ascent of 2770 meter high, the Col d’Iseran. A really spectecular climb of 47 km long! A stay at Maison Wontner is highly recommended. I cannot wait to return to this outstanding location. Tom & Sandie many thanks for the hospitality!

I didn't actually stay here, but booked the Chalet for a group of cyclists, they have all given great feedback on how nice the chalet was and it was an ideal stop over for them. I found the owner a pleasure to deal with and very organised. Would have no hesitation in booking again!

An unforgetable experience...

Having spent a whole winter in Les Echine Dessous we really didnt want to come home. Within easy reach of lots of ski stations,Les Arcs, La Rosiere, Tignes and Val D'Isere this was a perfect setting for a wonderful holiday. We had fantastic views of the Alpes from the apartment and staying in a genuine French farming village made the experience even better. Bourg st Maurice is a ten minute drive down the mountain and has a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars, as well as a Saturday market. There are plenty of supermarkets, ski shops and amenities within the town. The apartment was clean and well equiped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owner was very helpful and provided great customer service, and I would definately recommend this property to anyone considering staying in this area.

Great spring skiing

Second visit to Chalet Tarine, this time much later in the season. The snow was getting heavy, so we explored the area to get the best snow - Tignes, about 40 mins up the valley had fantastic spring snow, when some of the lower resorts in the area were getting very slushy. The chalet itself is on a warm, sunny spot above Bourg St Maurice wiithh fantastic views, so in spring it is a lovely place to relax in the evening sunshine after skiing. Still planning to bring my bike here one summer and tackle some of the cols nearby. For any bike nerds reading this, the drive up to Les Echines takes you up the first few turns of the Courmet de Roseland, while the climbs up to the Col du Petit St Bernard, La Plagne, Les Arcs and the Col de L'iseran all start in the valley below.

charme et sport

Ce chalet offre beaucoup d'avantages tant il est spatieux confortable et bien rénové.Son environnement nourrit la curiosité à tout âge avec une vie de village réelle à découvrir, animaux, nature et voisins bien présents .Randonnettes et jasettes en famille bien agréables assurées. Les possibilités pour le ski sont variées et exceptionnelles avec un domaine vaste et fort bien équipé.L'accès en station est aisé par le funiculaire.La ville de "bourg" comme l'appellent les natifs est agréable sans être superficielle. L'accès au chalet nécessite une conduite souple et attentive et la route enneigée nécessite sans doute équipements pour assurer les déplacements.

très grande satisfaction et plaisir

En quelques mots comment rendre compte de notre très grande satisfaction et plaisir à ces vacances chez vous.Le chalet est formidable :sa beauté et chaleur intérieure ont contribué à rendre notre quotidien magnifique.Grands et petits ont investi les lieux avec confort assurance et bonheur.Nous avons pu apprécié l'environnement , randonner dans la neige le dimanche , jouer aux batailles de boules de neige et puis nous promener sous un soleil de printemps chaque jour découvrant avec joie nos voisins, paysages, animaux . Régal aussi sur les pistes avec un domaine skiable époustouflant,pas de risque d'ennui tant la variété des pistes est importante.C'est incomparable ! Donc séjour réussi et je formule ici toutes mes félicitations pour la restauration originale mettant en valeur les lignes de votre chalet. Merci encore ! Nous serions prêts à repartir alors peut-être à l'année prochaine?

Un chalet pour se reposer ET profiter !

De très agréables vacances en famille. Le chalet est vraiment idéal pour venir à plusieurs familles. Chacun a son espace pour se reposer et en même temps une grande salle commune pour se retrouver. Le ski intensif ne doit pas être une priorité même si cela est tout à fait possible. Seulement 15 mn pour accéder au funiculaire et ensuite 15 mn pour accéder directement aux remontées mécaniques de ARC1600. C'est surtout un chalet pour se faire plaisir avec la montagne. Le seul point faible serait l'isolation phonique : on entend tous les bruits des autres pièces - il faut donc être discret et respectueux du repos des autres !

Great chalet

We had a wonderful week in this well equipped, cosy chalet. We were a mixed group of hikers / motorcyclists and the chalet was a great base for exploring the surrounding region. The mountain views were superb and it was a great place to relax completely. We would definitely recommend this chalet to other friends looking for something in the area. There's lots of space and plenty of bathrooms, making it an ideal place for larger groups.
