Cozy chalet with amazing views
We loved our stay at Janet’s chalet. It was very warm and cozy, had everything we needed and the most amazing views. There are ski areas very close and Les Houches ski area was perfect for us & kids as beginners. Our kids also had hours of fun on the sleds provided at the chalet! Janet was very responsive to our questions and any issues we had were quickly resolved. Thank you for such an amazing Christmas in the alps!

Cosy and well equipped chalet with magnificent views
Perfect chalet for our first family skiing holiday, very close to the slopes, plenty of space for a family of six, lovely views of the mountains. Away from the noise of the village but close enough to get to shops, ski lifts , ski hire shops and restaurants within five minutes. We very much enjoyed our stay in Chalet Altitude

Cosy and homely with an impressive view,
We had a lovely stay, perfect weather and great skiing. the Chalet was only a short walk from a slope - albeit over back garden land - but that meant you were on the slopes and down to a number of lifts in minutes. The Chalet had everything we needed, it was warm, and cosy, and had a great outlook down the valley; giving an impressive view both day and night. ~The owner Jan was extremely helpful and kept in contact with us all week and we felt we had value for money You do need a car to stay at this chalet due to its location up the mountain roads and my only negative comment is that the drive is very steep and when covered in snow it is slippery and when the snow was melted away by salt it became quite wet and muddy.

très bon séjour
Le chalet était tout à fait conforme aux photos et à la description. Nous avons passé à 6 (3 adultes et 3 enfants) un séjour très confortable. Le chalet est bien équipé, très chaleureux et les literies confortables. Nous avons passé des soirées et des nuits très calmes. Le chalet est tout proche de la piste "Aillouds" qui descend vers le bas des télécabine. Mais en cas de neige peu abondante (comme c'était le cas pour nous en mars) la piste est fermée et il faut donc prévoir d'aller en voiture à la télécabine à 2,5 km de route

gemütliches Chalet mit Bergsicht
Ein sehr schönes Bergchalet mit viel Platz! Das Chalet ist gemütlich eingerichtet, die Küche sehr gut ausgestattet, alles wunderbar hergerichtet, wenn man ankommt. Wir waren zu sechst dort und jeder hat immer einen Ort gefunden, es sich nach dem Skifahren gemütlich zu machen. Durch die zwei Badezimmer gibt es auch dort keinen Stau, sehr komfortabel! Der Kamin und der Balkon sehen auch sehr gemütlich aus (aber wir haben Beides nicht genutzt). Es gibt jede Menge (englische) Bücher und DVDs, falls Unterhaltung erwünscht ist. Für Skischuhe, Helme... gibt es im Eingangsbereich im Untergeschoss genügend Platz. Uns hat auch das warme Wasser immer gereicht. Man hat von allen Zimmern aus eine tolle Aussicht auf die Berge ringsum und wenn genügend Schnee liegt, kann man vor der Haustür die Ski anschnallen und durch die Grundstücke ca. 30 m bis auf die Piste fahren (oder die Ski tragen und das Stück laufen). Über die Piste auf Ski braucht man ca.2 Minuten bis zur Gondel Prarion und zum Bäcker - die Serpentinenstraße runter wären es mehrere Kilometer zu laufen und bis zum nächsten Supermarkt, der am anderen Ende des Ortes liegt, wäre es eine Wanderung von mehreren Stunden (Auto dringend empfohlen!). Es gibt einen Linienbus (Nr.7), der sowohl zur Station Prarion als auch Bellevue und Supermarkt fährt. Die Auffahrt, wo das Auto parken soll, ist wirklich sehr steil und schmal - es erfordert Mut, dort zu parken, aber eine andere Möglichkeit gibt es nicht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden!

We hebben een zalige familietijd gehad in deze mooie gezellige chalet . Bij sneeuw kan je perfect vanuit de tuin naar de eitjes toe skiën. Jan is een supercharmante en vriendelijke dame die onze kinderen die vroeger dan ons aankwamen , supervriendelijk onthaalde . We komen erg graag terug.

chalet fonctionnel, agréable et bien placé
Le descriptif du chalet est conforme à la réalité. Janet et Leigh Anne répondent rapidement aux sollicitations. Les informations reçues sont précises et claires. Le chalet est très agréable à vivre, situé au calme pour se reposer et très bien équipé si on veut cuisiner. La vue face à l'Aiguille du Midi est magnifique. Les commerces sont à 20 min à pied et le centre bourg à 30 min à pied. Nous recommandons.
