The fairies, who legend has it inhabit the upper regions of the Maurienne valley, obviously didn't miss out on staying in the Valmeinier resort when it was created. Valmeinier has been truly blessed by nature, being near to two national parks, Ecrins and Vanoise. The apartment hotel offers sweeping views across the splendid natural mountain environment. The ski hotel offers 95 fully furnished accommodation units, a lobby and Internet access (fees apply). The apartments present fully equipped, ready-to-live-in spaces, complete with optional hotel services including bed and bathroom linen and a cleaning service. Each apartment features an en suite bathroom with a shower, a TV, kitchenette with cooker and microwave, and some feature a private balcony. Guests may take a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool (only during summer). By car: take the A43 motorway or RN6 to Saint Michel de Maurienne. Valmeinier 1800 is at a distance of 12 km from there.
