I was very impressed with the chalet, the host was really good and went out of her way to give us all the information we needed. The food was superb. The chalet is a small one, sleeping 6 which worked out really well – we were a group of 4 and for a lot of the time we had the place to ourselves. The location is perfect, taking no more than 5 minutes for us to get to the slopes, if that. You could ski almost back to the door, though it was quite a challenging ski.

The view is pretty awesome. Inside was kind of wood themed and quite Alpine; the chalet has a good swimming pool and a sauna. None of the rooms were en-suite but ours was a good sized double with a reasonable wardrobe and stuff for storage. We also had a bit of a balcony that looked over Val T which was quite picturesque.
There’s a reasonable lounge area and a good sized square table that you all eat around together which is nice and sociable. The food was really good quality, one night they served a duck meal - my better half and I don’t eat duck so they gave us some stuffed peppers as a vegetarian alternative which was really nice. Other meals included potatoes dauphinoise, a chicken dish like Coq au Vin and a decent beef dish. They also did a cooked breakfast in the morning if you wanted it.
The host was friendly and generally very efficient and organised some good nights out.
You’re only 150m from the nearest access point and then you ski down (it’s a beginner friendly area so anyone could do it).

A cosy environment for a small group of 6, you’ll be able to take advantage of everything that's on offer in VT, as it's mostly right at your doorstep. Guests of this property are lucky to be near enough to almost everything you could want from a ski holiday in this top mountain town. A piste 220 yards away, bars and local shops within walking distance, spa or relaxation facilities next door (check before booking), and a lively town with world renowned nightlife just a short bus ride away. For a family, small group of friends or couples, who need space only for two to six in the party, this is a catered chalet with high standards yet low prices, and we all love a bargain.
