Regarding the Montet itself, it was fabulous. Everything was clean, tidy and very well kept. The people who work there are absolutely top notch – they really were all fantastic from the manager lady to Charlie and co.
The food was brilliant! We didn’t realise until we got there that our head chef had worked in a Meribel chalet we stayed in the year before. He was a top man – one of the girls in our party had a lot of allergies and he sat down with us on the first night to devise a special menu that suited everyone.
The only thing was having to walk from the chalet to the bus stop. This wasn’t a problem for me or the majority of people I stayed with (the buses were very frequent) but others weren’t best pleased. I think you’d end up paying a lot more to be beside the slopes!

The chalet hotel was good. No complaints at all. The food was good too. The place was well organised and the staff were friendly. Overall we were very happy.

If this chalet is as good as it was last year you will have an amazing stay. It was absolutely tip top! I would recommend it to anyone, wherever you have been or stayed before. I have stayed in dozens of chalets before and this was one of the best. You could pay 2 or 3 times as much as I paid and you wouldn’t find a better chalet or hotel. The food was excellent, drinks were good, whole place nicely furnished (it was new when we stayed here), nice dining area and there’s a lovely sauna and steam room. Nice room, good size, warm, nice bathroom, our room had a front view facing over the front door of the chalet – absolutely amazing.
It’s near the cable car in La Daille or you can walk or get the bus to the new chairlift. If you’re a novice skier, this might not be the place to stay for ski in / ski out as its quite far from any easy skiing – it would be best for intermediates and above unless you don’t mind getting the bus into Val d’Isere.
