Chalet on the edge of the Mercantour Park in Saint-Dalmas de Valdeblore.

Close to sledding, cross-country skiing, and more, this welcoming chalet brings it all within reach. La Colmiane Ski School is an easy 14-minute walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers covered onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 8-minute drive to Summer Luge.

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment.

This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
