By far the best chalet we’ve been at. A group of 11 people, including 5 people over 60 years old, and there was something to do for everyone. Mark is a great host and always goes the extra mile to ensure you are happy and satisfied. The chalet is something that can only be rated 5 stars, I’ve been lucky enough to see many 5 stars hotel and this is nothing short of it. The attention to detail is of another level. Just stop looking for any alternative. If you’re a group of 8-12 people this is simply one of the top choices in the Alps.
A truly 5-Star Experience:
