This mountainside apartment is one block from the centre and a two-minute walk from the Gondola. Its no-nonsense interior provides a practical space for skiers, bikers and hikers all year round. Despite being so centrally located, the apartment is peaceful and displays stunning mountain views, while its relaxed atmosphere is particularly welcome after a busy day of activities. The access is excellent with a free shuttle bus running from the end of the road and mountain bikes available to hire and park directly below the apartment.
