General description
Nice, recently built luxurious chalet apartments decorated in Savoyard style. There is lots of wood and other natural materials used, creating a homey feeling in the apartments. Les Balcons de Val Cenis Village consists of nine buildings where all the apartments are situated. The buildings are constructed as a small little village and this "village" has some facilities for the first needs such as a bakery, ski rental shop and a supermarket. Free Wi-Fi connection in all apartments and at the reception. Also, each apartment has its own ski locker.
Les Balcons de Val Cenis Village is situated next to a green piste (Hermine). This slope leads to the cable car (TC 10 Val Cenis Le Haut) and to the ski school with kids club (150 metres). De cable car has a fast connection to the beginners area of Val Cenis where you'll find many green slopes. The more advanced skiers will take another fast chairlift (Arcelle) after the cable car to get further into the entire ski area (offering 125 km of slopes).
The apartments are at a walking distance from the centre and at about 200 metres from the residence you can find an indoor swimming pool with a baby bath (Parc des Glières, free of charge). The cabin lift and ski school with mini club are found at a distance of 200 metres by ski.
Les Balcons de Val Cenis Village has its own restaurant with a sun deck; La Bergerie. Meals can be reserved in advance at reservation. As easy as that!
There is a cosy living room with television (LCD screen), double sofa bed and dining area. The kitchen is completely equipped with ceramic hotplates, dishwasher, oven, microwave and coffee maker. This apartment also has a balcony.
There are six bedrooms, three with two single beds and three with a double bed. There are seven bathrooms, six with a bath and a shower and one bathroom with shower. There is one separate toilet.
We were a group of 14 people. beautiful accommodation with excellent location on the slopes. Kitchen is very small, but fine in itself. Balcony size was very small and narrow. Was nice in the afternoon in the sun. Wifi is very average.

If you are looking for a carefree ski holiday, then catering service is an absolute must. The chalet staff takes care of the meals, does the dishes and cleans the common areas of the chalet. The chalet staff usually works in the ski resort during the whole winter season.
The day starts with an extensive breakfast. After the skiing something yummy will be prepared for you, like a homemade cake or a cheese board. In the evening you can enjoy a freshly cooked three course dinner, accompanied by a glass of wine.
The service is provided by the chalet staff, who makes sure that the living room is clean and cosy during your stay. The staff doesn´t live in the chalet and has one day per week off. On this day, they will provide fresh bread and make sure all breakfast supplies are available in the chalet. Because of the planning, it is possible that the day off is scheduled for the last evening and the last morning. The day off will be communicated during your stay.
What's included?
7 x Extensive breakfast (of which once self-service); fresh bread from the local bakery, croissants, chocolate rolls, eggs, yoghurt, various cereals, various sweet and savoury sandwich fillings, fruit, juices, milk, coffee and tea.
5 x Afternoon snack; enjoy both savoury and sweet snacks, freshly prepared by the staff each day.
6 x Dinner; 3-course meal consisting of a starter, a main course and a dessert. The dishes are internationally oriented, whilst using local products and specialities. Both white and red wine is offered with the meal (ca. half a bottle per person) and there’s tea or coffee after the meal.
Wine is the only alcoholic beverage that is served. If you don’t like to drink wine, the staff can provide an alternative to your preference to accompany the meals, when noted in good time. The wine (or alternative) will only be served during dinner, any other drinks you are allowed to bring yourself. Or you can choose to book our Drinks included upgrade.
Packed lunches can also be added to your booking for an additional fee. The staff will provide extra bread and sandwich filling so sandwiches can be made to enjoy on the slopes later that day.
Upon arrival our chalet staff will welcome you in the chalet and it will be possible to discuss the desired serving times of the meals and the day that the chalet staff is off. To ensure breakfast can be served on time and they can arrange any other preparations for the meals, they receive their own key of the chalet.
Vegetarian and special diet meals are also available but must be requested when booking the catering service. Additional preferences can also be specified, and will be carried out if possible.
Please note: due to the limited availability of catering staff, catering service is always upon request.
It may happen that the price of catering service changes during the season, or that providing catering service is no longer possible in a specific week. The moment the catering service is confirmed to you, the price is fixed and there is staff appointed to you. Therefore, it is not possible to cancel catering service.
So if you want to enjoy catering service, we recommend you to arrange this immediately when you book your holiday.
