Just returned from our second visit to ski in Puy and another excellent week had by all.
The area is fantastic for kids to learn, far better than the big resorts, no queues and some lovely quiet runs (I skied more untouched pistes first thing in the morning than at any other resort and the powder on the final day made for some awesome off piste fun).
The apartment was exactly as advertised if not better (the pictures on the site don’t do it justice). It’s not luxury, but has everything you need, the kitchen is well equipped, it’s clean and comfortable and is excellent value for money.
The location is perfect - Puy 1800 means you have easy access to all the pistes, lifts and ski schools.
The apartment is a very short (100m) flat walk from the piste (100m), straight out from the ski lockers situated in the apt block a few floors below. The kids (5 and 8) would do it on their own and ski down to the meeting point for the ski lesson whilst I put my boots on - perfect.
The host was very friendly and helpful plus the on-site rep who looks after the apartments in the block was really nice and couldn’t do enough to make our stay a happy one.
The small swimming pool in the adjacent block, which is free for residents, was a fantastic evening relaxation and fun for the kids.
No shops at 1800, but there is the free bus to 1600 or a walk down the well signposted path.
There is a lovely little restaurant on the opposite side of the parking which were really welcoming and also sold bread and ham etc. which is perfect.
Looking forward to the next trip and hope the same apartment is vacant!
