We (my wife and two children, 5 & 7 along with close friends, husband, wife and two children, 10 & 8) stayed at La Cachette from December 29 through to January 4 and had an absolutely incredible time. Olivier and Victoria were great hosts, super helpful and very enthusiastic about the area, the food, the culture, and most importantly, the skiing! Victoria ensured that we were never hungry, preparing awesome baked goods to find upon our return from the ski hill, along with a roaring fire, and Olivier entertained with great stories from the slopes and tips on where to go the following day. The beds were super comfortable, and despite there being 8 of us in the chalet, there was never a sense of tripping over one another. The kids enjoyed curling up together on sofas and bean bag cushions to watch the Never Ending Story, E.T. and other awesome 80's flicks, it was such a great time! We ate with Victoria and Olivier twice including NYE and she prepared a meal for us for take away, each time was superb and well worth it, in addition to presenting an excellent opportunity to immerse ourselves in local cuisine.
Val d'Isere and Tignes are a short but stunning 20 minute drive up the mountain from the chalet, a car is necessary at this chalet and well worth using to explore some of the neighbouring towns and villages in the valley on a possible day off.
Thank you thank you Victoria and Olivier, we had a wonderful stay and you were both so incredibly helpful, we would not hesitate to recommend this chalet to anyone, I can't say enough great things about it.
