We stayed here as a group of friends for our New Years get together and had a great time.
Location is great for skiing. Possible to walk to nearby ski areas depending on snow level and Chatel is only a short drive away and seemingly good in all conditions. The town of La Chapelle d’Abondance is only a 5 minute walk down the hill and the nearby restaurant of Fer Rouge perfect for evening drinks and snacks, with the restaurant brilliant for a lavish evening meal. The dog sledding nearby was greatly enjoyed as a unique experience and being able to see them along the valley from the chalet balcony was a lovely morning sight.
Most days we ate in the chalet, the kitchen was well equipped, easy to use, and large enough to prepare meals for 7 comfortably. The whole chalet was well equipped with plenty of seating and space for our group. The fridge / freezer is quite small, so if you plan to bring more than a few days worth of supplies it’s best to keep that in mind.
Those who arrived first had no complaints about the check-in procedure. I arrived quite late, and would have struggled to find the chalet in the dark if it weren’t for my friends having already arrived coming out to show us where to go. The only negative point for the whole experience would be the difficulty of finding it in the dark.
Communication with the property manager was perfect, quick responses, proactively checked everything was correct on arrival, and even left a little welcome gift.
Highly Recommend, 5*s
