Le Lioran is a very family friendly resort at the heart of the Cantal, set at the foot of the highest mountain in this department - the Plomb du Cantal at 1850m - and has been a well kept secret by the French for most of its century of skiing (The resort celebrated its centenary in 2006).

This comfortable south-facing apartment has been recently refurbished and well equipped (including new: fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, cafetiere, kettle, crockery, pans, utensils, etc.). The lounge-diner has a new four seater sofa-bed which opens out easily to form a full size (140x200cm) comfortable double bed . There is also a chair which can be folded flat to form a single bed. It has a flatscreen TV & DVD player (with a small collection of DVDs).  Overnight the underfloor heating keeps you warm - but this can be supplemented with the simple but efficient electric wall heaters in each room if required.

The bedroom has a new full size double bed with a single bunk above it. Duvets (2 doubles, 2 singles) & pillows are supplied. Covers, sheets and towels are not provided but can be arranged for an additional charge.

The apartment has its own lockable ski cage in the communal ski store which is located just behind the apartment. Access to the pistes from the apartment is simply via the back lobby and the rear ground level doors (next to the two windows of the apartment in the photos). A short (2min!) ski down the piste and you are at the central area of the resort - the Prairie (see photo 11 and the left of photo 4) with acces to all the main lifts, nursery slopes, cable car to the peak, cafés & bars, shops (2 mini-marts; 4 ski hire, bakery etc) and 3 ski schools.

Prices for the apartment are per week (Saturday pm to Saturday am) and do not include €200 security deposit
