Séjour à la montagne dans une petite station familiale

le gîte est très confortable et spacieux. les aménagements sont adaptés. La literie est de bonne qualité. Il se trouve en proximité de la station de ski familiale, particulièrement adaptée pour des skieurs débutants ou pour ceux qui ne veulent pas se retrouver dans la foule. Il est possible de rejoindre le domaine de Samoens très facilement. Il y a de nombreuses pistes de ski de fond, raquettes ou promenade. Un séjour reposant, dépaysant et particulièrement bien venu après la période covid anxiogène. Les propriétaires ont pensé à tout pour nous rendre le séjour le plus agréable et facile possible.

Chalet accueillant et bien équipé pour notre famille de 4 personnes

Ce chalet est très bien situé à Sixt, près des pistes de ski (pour débutants) et des chemins de randonnée. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour une semaine de vacances, un poêle à bois pour les soirées, une salle de bain spacieuse pour se détendre... Et les propriétaires sont très accueillants :-)

Beau logement très confortable

Ce logement refait à neuf avec goût est à la fois très fonctionnel et chaleureux. L'emplacement au pied des pistes, avec vue sur les cascades, parmi des chalets qui ne sont pas en grande majorité touristiques donne aux vacances une ambiance très familiale, très authentique. Tout y est facile : le stationnement, le stockage des affaires de ski, l'arrivée, le départ... et le paysage autour est très beau. Merci aux propriétaires !

séjour idéal

Très agréable appartement, très ensoleillé, très propres aux pieds des pistes de ski vraiment idéale avec des enfants. Toute fois il manque un peu de rangement et de matériel de cuisine, un service à raclette serait le bien venu. Par sécurité avec des petits, il serait bien de fermer la partie gauche de l escalier mais ceci dit nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Very clean, extremely spacious and incredibly well equipped, finished and fitted out.

Vicky and Ian are very good hosts. They were there when we arrived and thoughtfully had stocked the fridge with some fresh milk, cold beers and a bottle of sparkling wine plus left in the kitchen some semi-cooked baguettes so we could bake them if we wished. The chalet is very spacious, over 2 floors, extremely clean and we wanted for nothing other than a coffee percolator (there is a pod machine). There is everything anyone would need for a weeks stay plus more. The wood stove was lovely and we lit it a couple of times (Ian had made it up for lighting). The beds are comfortable, the bedding is nice, AND the sofa is comfortable which is a rarity in a ski chalet. The kitchen is well fitted with a full size fridge freezer ,microwave, dishwasher, full size fan oven (which is helpful as I always bring frozen home cooked meals rather than cook on holiday). The main bathroom is huge with bath and separate shower and plenty of hot water. There is another w.c upstairs by the bedrooms. Sixt is very small and better suited to inexperienced skiers but once in Samoens (by car or ski bus) you can link into the Grand Massif ski area and get into Flaine very quickly. For people just starting out with skiing or with young children starting to ski, Sixt is ideal as the chalet is a very short walk to to drag lifts and lessons meeting area. Unfortunately the chairlift to the red and black runs was closed this year due to plans for a new lift to the top of Samoens to be put in so we never skied in Sixt as the available runs were not suitable for us but we thought what a good area it would have been when our children were younger. The only warning I would say for people staying with younger children at the chalet is that the stairs are open on one side and I think a balustrade should be put in that side as there is on the other side of the staircase but there are fittings for stairgates. It was a real bonus to have a washing machine in a separate utility room so we were able to put a load of ski stuff through midweek and take it home clean. And for those with younger children it would be a bonus to be able to take less clothes and wash midweek. The only thing which marred what was otherwise a lovely week was something outside of Ian and Vicky's control which was that was a local family who live behind the chalet keep their lovely dog in appalling conditions in a pen near the chalet which was quite upsetting and which I have reported to the French RSPCA equivalent.
