We strongly advise to use one of the car parks in the town. The town centre has underground parking for a fee (Joux Plane or Tourist Office parking) or there is free parking on Route de la Plagne at the Nantégue car park. A free bus is then required to travel back from this parking to the Carlina building. There is also paid short term parking on the main street near the apartment building but is subject to available spaces.

The apartment does have one allocated parking space located on level -2 and it has an electric car charging point, this is in the underground garage accessed at the side of the building – however we must warn you the garage width is very restrictive, including the main entrance into the communal parking and the turns needed to go down to level -2 are extremely tight for a small car, and unsuitable for medium & large cars – hence why we advise using a different car park in town.

Please leave the remote on the dining room table when you check out – lost remote/key charge is €200.

The cave for storing all ski equipment and bikes is located on floor minus 2. Take the elevator down to the basement and go through the door marked “Caves”, keep going, turn left and the cave door for apartment 104 is at the very end.

The apartment key also opens the cave door, there is a key box next to the cave door with a second key in it should it be needed. Please ensure all keys are returned to the key boxes and not taken off the property.

You will find boot warmers, a ski rack and a bike wall hook inside the cave.

There are heated boot warmers located in the cave where you can store all your ski equipment.

In the winter months the boot warmers should already be plugged in and turned on, if not it is easy to plug in to the socket next to the machine and check the red and green switches on the side are in the on position.

The warmer is on a timer plug which is set to come on in the early evening to do some initial drying and then again in the morning so the boots are warm. Please do not remove the timer or alter the settings in any way.

If you have any issues please SMS or WhatsApp the in-resort contact number.

The cave can comfortably fit 2 MTB bikes, in addition there 6 wall mounted bike hooks in the parking space underground this private parking space is on the -2 level of the communal garage and has a Mountain Xtra sign.

If you are renting bikes for your MTB holiday then there is also the option of two bike rental shops within meters of the building, one of which rents Santa Cruz bikes.

Please only access the bike locks and cave via the underground parking and not by taking them through the building as it is strictly forbidden.

Do not put clothes, gloves or anything other than towels on the units as they can damage the finish.

Hot water is provided from a central boiler in the building.

Then check that every RCD is up, they are the individual fuses on the left of every row of other fuses. Then check all other fuses are up.

Power cuts are common in French mountain properties and the power input into every property is limited.

Sometimes the power may blow if you are using too many electrical items at the same time such as; kettle, oven, hob, hot tub, towel rails, washing machines, tumble dryer etc. If this happens in particular when cooking, try switching off some of these units until you have finished cooking.
