Pretty but definitely need a car

This was a pretty chalet about 2 km up a steep hill so a car is essential. You park over the road in the general parking area where there are also conveniently placed recycling bins. There are just over 20 steps to climb to get into the chalet but a shovel is provided if you want to keep them completely clear. Our husbands loved the hot tub after ski-ing each day and as non-skiers we sat on the decking to catch some sun, although it was disappearing behind the trees around 1pm at this time of year.

The welcome pack was very good especially the beer for the boys and the Molten Brown products. The beds were comfortable and the showers were excellent with plenty of hot water. We were a party of 4 adults and found the extra space useful. We would have found a freezer handy, as it wasn't an option to keep walking to the shops like we normally do. I thought the separate dining room would have been a squeeze if there were more than 8 of you. If the door to the dining room opened out into the hall rather than into the room it would be more convenient and people sitting near the door wouldn't have to get up to let people in.

The extra tall fridge in the boot room was very useful, as there was only a small chest fridge that you had to bend down to in the actual kitchen and it was a little hard to stack a lot of products in there. We cooked for 5 nights in the chalet and the chalet was well stocked with implements etc and used the hob and the oven successfully.

We ended up in this location because of a mix up over the chalet's location, which has now been fixed. We made the best of a bad situation but ordinarily as a party that included non-skiers we would not have booked a location where you can't walk to the pub or bakery without a car. If you are ski-ing and are prepared to drive to the slopes yourself each morning then it is perfect. If you like exercise then the long walk down to the bus stop at the bottom of the hill might suit you.
