On the book shelves there is a DVD player, a radio with iPod dock and a range of books and DVDs. The lounge area can be closed off with a curtain when the settee is used as a bed, giving more privacy. There is a panoramic view from the window, and the glazed door opens onto the front balcony which has a table and chairs so you can sit to admire the mountain scenery. In the dining area, the oak table is extendable to seat six, or retracted to seat four giving more space.

From here, a glazed door opens onto the side balcony, which also has chairs for sitting out for morning coffee in the sun. The bunk bedroom is separated from the main bedroom by the lounge, giving more privacy. The bunks are adult size and the room has a wardrobe and coat hooks. The bathroom has a full-sized bath with overhead shower and a heated towel rail. There is a separate toilet. The apartment is carpeted throughout. Heating is by thermostatically controlled electric radiators and the cost is included in the price, together with final cleaning. Bed linen and towels are not included but can be supplied at a reasonable rate. The apartment is located at the end of the corridor so there are no passers-by and you can sit out there in the afternoon sun. This is at ground level so it is often possible to ski back to the walkway at the apartment level.

The area is famous for its wide range of summer outdoor sports: mountain biking, white water rafting, parascending, together with walks and climbs at all levels. The mountain scenery is a spectacular background at all times of the year.
