New luxury cottage, sauna and spa 3 minutes from Châtel 74390

We were a group of 5 families out together to celebrate my 50th birthday and enjoy a week of skiing. Most of us drove from England and one family rented a car at Lyon rail station and drove to the chalet. The owner was very helpful throughout the booking process, arrival and departure. The chalet is fantastic, it was immaculately clean and tidy, it was very well equippped, everything was in great condition. The kitchen is large and made it easy to cater for such a large group. There is lots of communal space and the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. It really was a luxury experience.

The chalet is at the edge of the village up a small hill from the main road, a short walk to the bus stop and ski lift. The access road was snowploughed during snow but on some days snow chains or winter tyres were needed. There is plenty of parking space and a large garage.

The local ski slopes and ski school were great. The lifts and pistes at Panthiaz and Cret Beni were quiet throughout the peak school holiday week. There is plenty for novice or intermediate skiers and it was easy to venture further afield towards Chatel or Avoriaz for more challenging skiing.

The non skiers in our group enjoyed the walk along the valley to the village centre and made use of the gym, sauna and spa at the chalet.

We had an amazing holiday and strongly recommend this chalet, we all hope to return some time soon.
