Really, really good accommodation. Staff were well trained and confident, great to get information. Only downfall is that it could be cosy with 8 people.
Really good, high quality and the wine was way better than I have had before.
So s0o, the walk is 8-10 minutes. Well-advertised as this but fair walk 4.5/5 (wish it had a hot tub).
Beware of the walk to the lifts – this was however well advertised

We absolutely loved this top-floor Chalet. The lounge is so comfortable - with an open plan layout to include kitchen and eating area, making it that much more special. It was so lovely to relax in the evening after a good day skiing. The large windows onto the balcony and high ceiling, gave the room so much natural light and space.
The main building is very big and consists of other Chalets within. The heated ski /boot room on the ground floor is great and safe, with locks to all shared store cupboards for each Chalet. Access to the building and separate chalets are equally reassuring and safe, all entered by key code systems. I would say it is a 5 min walk down to the main high street to catch the bus to the ski slopes. Buses seem every 5 mins.- it's a brilliant free transport system. We took a left outside the building and within 2 mins, then take a right down a public lane that takes you to the high street - you will see the bus stop to the left by the recycle bins. This takes you into the town and slopes - opposite takes you to Le Daille ski area. There is a local yellow bus that goes past the building and you catch it some 5 mins walk down the road. Take a right outside the building. I heard this was every 15/20 mins. I didn't use this one though.
This was our first time skiing in April 2023 (second week), and we had plenty of snow and the slopes were simply fabulous conditions. I would highly recommend this Chalet and understand the others within the building were equally great too.
