Chalet Jamais Bleu is a cosy alpine retreat, with an outdoor hot tub on the terrace and unbeatable location right on the Moretta Blanche piste in La Tania.

The double height living room has enormous windows, meaning plenty of light and space as well as stunning views. Decorated with inviting sofas, fur cushions and vintage Savoyard décor, the chalet feels warm and comfortable.

The spacious twin/double bedrooms are made extra comfortable with feather duvets and pillows, fluffy towels and toiletries.

The service
After a day enjoying the incredible Three Valleys skiing, soothe any aches in the hot tub then sink into the comfortable sofas and unwind with a glass of bubbly while your hosts create an indulgent dinner
The open bar includes beer, house wine, sparkling wine and soft drinks, with hand-picked wines especially chosen to accompany each meal. Nespresso coffee and chocolates are served around the log fire. A hearty cooked breakfast and home-baked afternoon tea treats are served during the week.

Part of our luxurious service includes a complimentary massage – the definition of relaxation!

For entertainment off the slopes, we also have satellite TV, a DVD player, WiFi, board games and books.

The resort
La Tania is renowned for being a good value resort from which to ski the celebrated Three Valleys. With a friendly atmosphere and good apres-ski venues as well as restaurants ranging from good old pizza to Michelin-star dining, the village attracts young families and groups of skiers and boarders.
The price is £17400
