What a joy it was to arrive at this place and be warmly welcomed by a lovely young French lady Agnes. We were ushered to our upgraded accommodation which was toasty warm! These new chalets are just completed and so everything is brand new! The king sized bed was super comfy with extra blankets provided. The shower is sublime! Plenty of piping hot water to warm you up after a day on the snow fields! We had delicious hot breakfasts served on gorgeous china….coffee served in silver coffee pots! It is such a charming place, complete with a playful cat Lucky! My granddaughter was smitten!! Thoroughly recommend ~ excellent service & value for money! Thank you Louis and staff!

Cosy, comfortable and thoughtful host. We came here to enjoy some peace and quiet without the hassle of meal preparation. This place was perfect for us and it’s within walking distance of a few dining places. It’s self-contained though, so the option of preparing our own meals was available.
