EquipmentThe main floor of this large chalet features an open kitchen/living/dining area with a wood stove fireplace and mountain views. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for family catering, including an induction cooker, double electric oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, coffee machine, Nespresso machine, electric kettle, mixer, and toaster. There are fondue and raclette sets for a traditional Swiss evening in front of the log fire. A portable outdoor barbecue is available for you to use. The electric heating can be adjusted for your comfort by the thermostats in the living areas. The laundry room includes a washing machine and tumble dryer.

RelaxingComing home after a great day in the mountains, it’s hard not to relax when you are surrounded by La Tzoumaz’ stunning panoramic views and pretty snowflakes gently drifting past the window. In summer, the birdsong from the surrounding forests is delightful. On a blue-sky day, the view stretches 20km, from the floor of the Rhone Valley 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. Take a seat in a comfy chair with a glass of local wine in the early evening. If you are in need of distraction, the living room area has a TV and some books. In summer, it's a real pleasure to fire up the barbecue for lunch in the garden, and there is a partially covered terrace area with seating and dining areas.

InternetChalet d'Arbi is equipped with high-speed WIFI for your own private use during your stay.

PetsWe're sorry but this is a pet-free property. Please browse our selection of pet-friendly rentals if you would like to travel with your pet.

Access and ParkingThere is a single, reserved parking space at the top of the chalet access steps, and a second, reserved parking space in the shared car park underneath the apartment building opposite. Additional parking spaces are available in the free outdoor public car park 350m up the road. Winter tyres and/or snow chains necessary to reach the village and the apartment in winter due to frequent snowfalls and a steep driveway, however chains must be removed before entering the car park underneath the apartment building. Access to the chalet is via outdoor steps leading down through a garden area to the chalet.  Car not strictly necessary due to proximity to ski-lifts, restaurants and supermarket - contact us for airport or railway transfers.

WinterThe apartment is only an 1km walk through the Resort Centre from the Savoleyres telecabin. There is a public bus stop only 150m from the apartment at the top of the steep driveway.  There is a free skibus that stops here in winter during operating hours of the ski-lifts. The main Savoleyres telecabin is less than a kilometre from the chalet and so it is possible to either take the free ski bus three stops to the telecabin, or walk uphill through the village. Of course the walk home is much easier as it is downhill at the end of the day. If you wish to access the beginner slopes you can either stay on the bus until further up, or drive and park up at the Etablons bar.

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.
