This is the second time we've stayed in Colette's chalet, and we had a lovely time again. It's well equipped, and a good size for our party of 4 adults and 4 kids. Views of the mountains are spectacular. We were very sad to leave.

It is with a great pleasure that we again welcome Mike and his family.
We greatly appreciate, their amability, their kindness. The chalet is always in order at their departure . All is perfect.
Die Lage ist super, ruhig und nah an der Busstation. Das Haus ist sehr schön, wenn auch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Für 8 Leute eher klein. Dafür ist der Blick auf die Gletscherausläufe grandios!

Je vous remercie pour votre appréciation.
Dans mon annonce il est précisé la surface du chalet : 120 m2 et il y a une vingtaine de photos que l'on peur consulter avant de louer.
L' extérieur du chalet a été entièrement restauré en 2019 en bois de mélèze et une isolation très performante, et bien entendu double vitrage pour toutes les fenêtres.
et à l'intérieur, une partie du séjour, car la cheminée doit être refaite, en France, les cheminées à feu ouvert sont interdites, je la fais refaire à l'automne, ainsi que le reste du séjour.
Comme chaque année c'est un plaisir d'accueillir un participant à l'UTMB
Nicolas et son équipe ont laissé le chalet impeccable après leur séjour qu'ils ont apprécié je crois Merci à eux tous

Lovely chalet for ski holiday
We had a lovely week in Colette's chalet. It was just the right size for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids. It had everything we needed for the week, including washing machine, DVD player and raclette machine. The large open fire was a highlight, as was the large garden which the kids loved sledging and building snowmen in. It's a 15 minute drive to the Prarion lift, and definitely better to use the car rather than bus, but you'll need snow chains to get up the hill out of the cul-de-sac if it snows overnight.
All in all, a very pleasant week, much enjoyed by all.

Quiet and peaceful
We arrived late and Collette was there to meet us with cheese, salami and a bottle of wine !! She was a great host. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable. It is in a quiet location, with incredible views of Mt Blanc and the glacier. The patio is an added bonus to the perfect french house. We loved it and can't wait to return again !!!

Très agréable
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans ce chalet bien équipé, bon agencement intérieur pratique pour les sports d'hiver.
L'accueil a été trés chaleureux tant de la part de la propriétaire que de Sophie.
Quel plaisir de se réveiller le matin et de pouvoir admirer un tel panorama : les aiguilles de Chamonix dont la célèbre aiguille du midi, le Mont Blanc, le Brévent... !
Seul petit bémol mais qui n'est pas du fait de la location : l'accès aux pistes avec un service de bus gratuits certes mais souvent très remplis ne permettant pas leur utilisation ou nécessitant une attente très longue entre deux navettes. Dommage également que les chauffeurs ne soient pas très agréables.
