The location was very handy to access skiing resorts in La Chapelle and Châtel. The chalet was great - spacious enough to accommodate our family of 12\. The owners were also very responsive ahead of our stay which is always helpful.The only downside was the dishwasher had broken down and wasn’t working when we arrived, which was unfortunate for a large group like ours. ##### Elise F.

Perfect place for 2 families. We were with 11 persons in total. About 15 minutes drive from skiarea Port du Soleil. ##### Peter M.

Wij waren met 2 gezinnen, daar is dit chalet goed voor te gebruiken (gezamenlijk borrelen, maar apart koken en eten) ##### Foske M.

Très bien agencé et pensé pour des enfants en bas âge. La situation géographique permet d avoir accès facilement aux différentes stations notamment la Chapelle d Abondance et Abondance. À cause du manque de neige, nous sommes allés skier sur la Chapelle. C'est une petite station très familiale et à taille humaine. Une très bonne semaine en famille. ##### Yves V.

Possibilité de faire d’autres activités que le ski, randonnées , visites des fermes, etc... ##### Christine L.

Super goede communicatie vooraf. We mochten tegen een kleine vergoeding een nacht eerder aankomen. De route beschrijving was voor ons helaas vanaf een andere kant waardoor het wel even zoeken was in het donker. Maar binnenkomst was perfect. Het verblijf was fijn. Bedden was smal en flink verend, dat was enorm wennen. Ook een douche die alleen vanuit de hand vast te houden was was wennen, of zijn alleen Nederlanders daar niet aan gewend. Verder top! Goede voorzieningen, oven, veel koelkasten!! Groeten de hele familie! ##### Arjanne M.

Everything we needed was there. It is located perfectly close to the ski lift and the area is perfect to ski. The buss connections are good. The wheather was beautiful and the snow conditions were also good. ##### Aliede M.
