Le Nanchar

Property Description

Le Nanchar is over 100 years old and is situated at the end of a farm track in an elevated position alongside the piste at 1350m altitude. It has panoramic views around the valley from its large south facing balcony and is ski in / ski out from the door and very close to all the amenities. Oozing character with its old wood and beams, the chalet was dismantled and brought down from the mountain many years ago, to the prime location that it occupies today. The piste alongside the chalet links the village of Notre Dame de Bellecombe and the ski slopes of Val D’Arly with the large ski domain of the Espace Diamant. Espace Diamant has over 157 alpine pistes, 80 ski lifts and 120km of Nordic tracks.
