Chalet Onni - Delightful Chalet For 8 People - Close To The La Tzoumaz Ski-piste

Description

HighlightsA delightful chalet to rent in La Tzoumaz Chalet Onni is a 3-bedroomed property situated a 200m hike from the ski slopes and less than 1km from the resort centre. The chalet is spread over 2 levels with stunning views and charming decor.


Bedrooms & BathroomsThis three-bedroom chalet comfortably sleeps 8 people in two double bedrooms and a children's bedroom with 4 low-height bunk beds and a TV. The double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and the bunk bedroom has limited storage space.  All three of the bedrooms are upstairs and have access to the balcony which faces to the front and the side of the chalet. The main bathroom is fitted with shower, sink and WC.  A second shower and a guest WC are available downstairs.


La Tzoumaz Chalet Onni is equipped with a high chair and a folding travel cot (bedding not provided) suitable for children under 2 years old, and a second is available on demand on arrival. Please note that in accordance with the manufacturer's safety instructions, additional mattresses are not provided with the cots.


EquipmentThe main floor of this chalet is an open kitchen/living/dining area that is divided into separate areas and enjoys stunning views.  The living room area is equipped with comfortable sofas, flat-screen TV and a wood-burning stove. The dining area has plenty of windows exposed to the gorgeous mountain views.  The pleasant kitchen area is fully equipped with everything you might need for your holiday, including dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric filter coffee machine, Nespresso coffee machine, oven and hob. There are fondue and raclette sets for a traditional Swiss evening in front of the log fire. A charcoal barbecue grill is available for you to use outside.


RelaxingIt's hard not to relax in front of the glorious mountain views from this gorgeous chalet. Take a seat with a glass of local wine at the end of another day on the slopes and relax into the crackling sounds coming from the wood-burning fire. The living room area is equipped with comfortable sofas and television, and upstairs is a separate TV area with sofas that might keep the children entertained whilst you take some time for yourself.  On a blue-sky day, the view stretches 20km, up to the peaks of the Haut de Cry and the Mont Gond, and in the other direction towards the legendary Vallon d'Arby and its un-pisted ski itinerary.


InternetChalet Onni is equipped with free WIFI for your own private use.


PetsWe would be delighted to welcome your pets to Chalet Onni. Please note that in order to cover supplementary cleaning costs, pets are charged at a rate of 50chf payable on arrival. If you are travelling with more than one dog, please contact us to ensure we will be able to accommodate them.


ParkingAt least one car is advisable in both summer and winter. There is space for two cars outside the chalet. A Tesla Type 2 electric vehicle charging point is provided here for your private use during your stay. A short flight of steps leads up to the front door. Winter tyres and/or snow chains necessary in winter due to a steep and sometimes icy corner on the access road. Contact us for railway or airport transfers.  


WinterThe ski-slopes are only a 300m uphill walk from the chalet, or you can drive to the free parking spaces in the resort. When returning to the chalet it is possible to ski part of the way from the piste. The modern high-speed telecabin carries you from La Tzoumaz up to the top of the Savoleyres in less than 8 minutes, from where you can decide to ski back on the quiet La Tzoumaz slopes or ski down to Verbier’s legendary slopes and world-class off-piste opportunities in the vast 4-Valleys ski area.


SummerIn the peak summer season (from early July to late August), we provide you with free VIP pedestrian lift-passes, half-price mountain-bike daypasses and a range of other discounts. The telecabin link to Verbier operates daily at this time of year from 08:45 to 12:30 and from 13:30 to 16:45, meaning that you can easily access the famous resort as a pedestrian, or accompanied by your bicycle or e-bike. For a small supplement you can even use a variety of mountain lifts to make your way up to Mont Fort at 3300m for the highest fondue in Europe and incredible mountain panoramas that include Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.


In summer, the area turns into a hiking and mountain biking paradise, with hundreds of kilometres of marked trails criss-crossing the mountains, awash with alpine flowers and a range of wildlife to spot. Visit the Maison de la Foret with its wildlife exhibitions and its Five Senses Nature Trail, and the starting point of many beautiful hikes. The Bisses are relatively flat footpaths that follow the water as it trickles around the mountainsides, where for centuries farmers and villagers channelled the streams for their own uses. They have been preserved and can now be an incredible way to spend a day or more on easy hikes with stunning views across the Rhone Valley or over to the Massif des Combins. We will provide you with plenty of tourist information including our favourite suggestions for day trips that are easily reachable from La Tzoumaz, from spectacular gorge walks, cheese factories and roman festivals to rainy-day ideas such as underground lake tours. The road that winds up the mountain-top to the panoramic Croix-de-Coeur Cafe-Restaurant opens as soon as the snow melts and from here you can continue the drive (or cycle) all the way down into Verbier. Try not to miss the Swiss National Celebrations in La Tzoumaz on August 1st, or the famous festival of live music performances, the Verbier Festival, which runs from mid-July to the beginning of August.


For familiesThe centre of La Tzoumaz benefits from an outdoor ice-skating rink in winter, and a children's playground area in summer, with a rope-based agility park alongside more traditional equipment such as slides.  A fun channel system with running water is built into the hillside to provide plenty of entertainment for older children too. 


At the exit of the village the Domus playground is a fabulous spot, often bathed in late afternoon sunshine, with swings, a zipline, see-saw, climbing frames and even old tractors to clamber on.  It is overlooked by an outdoor cafe (check opening hours) providing drinks, snacks and ice-creams. There are rabbits, donkeys, goats, and there is also rock-climbing on the local crag in the background (contact us for equipment and instructors).


The Maison de la Foret has a cafe area for drinks and snacks (check opening hours), wildlife exhibitions and its Five Senses Nature Trail with hands-on activities to borrow such as bird-whistling and learning to draw. The Nature Trail has disabled parking and is accessible to wheelchairs and children's buggies.


Right at the top of the village is the "Defis de la Riviere", which is equipped as an outdoor physical challenge area for older kids on the river.  There are sensory walking areas for younger children and a basket swing, and also a picnic spot nearby.  


A short drive down the valley takes you to the large lake at the Parc des Iles, with its playgrounds, high-ropes park, minigolf, restaurant, miniature train and more.
