    Challet is good for a family ski trip. Overall good condition. Everything worked and was along the expectations. Location - having a car is recomended - challet is between two ski gondolas (both more than 1km away). Although there is a ski-bus, we did not visit during high-season and buses did not go as frequently as desired (no buses after 5pm). Samoens or Morillon are the closest areas for groceries, restaurants, etc and both are 1,5-2 km walk - hence logistics can be a challenge.

    We are just back from a wonderful two-week vacation in this beautiful chalet. Coming from a more urban setting, the mountain views from the house are just stunning. Every day something new. We spent our days hiking, cycling, exploring Mont Blanc, Chamonix and Geneva and chilling by the pool. Sheer bliss. The house itself was cozy and although it’s starting to show a bit of wear and tear, it was perfect for us. The only issue we had was with the plethora of flies that came in if you left the windows and doors open. This was quickly resolved with the help of both Sophie and Christine, who ordered two fans to be delivered a few days later which made it possible to close the doors and still stay cool. Sophie, who checked us in, was very helpful and it was comforting to have someone to run questions by during the two weeks.The hostess, Christine, also checked in on us and was very attentive. All in all, we had a wonderful vacation here and highly recommend this accommodation!

    Sophie was great. Met us (early) at the property , showed us everything in great detail and offered to be available 24/7 for any questions. Her English is much better than she thinks and she is very well connected in the area. It’s a super-quiet location, 5 mins drive from Samoëns. Not an easy walk but easy on a bike. Our kids loved the pool. The property feels like a well loved family home. It has everything you need, the beds are comfortable, the views are great and the neighbours are quiet. There were only 4 of us so we were spoiled for space. We went parapenting, rafting, mountain biking, hiking, walking , swam in the lake and went horse riding - all of which were excellent. Although the horse ride was a slow procession. Sophie has lots of suggestions. We were sorry to leave and miss the mountains.

    Came here with family and were very impressed with this chalet, it’s comfortable with lots of space for everyone, and everything worked. We liked the large entrance hall with hanging space for all of our ski gear and shoe racks to keep everything tidy. This theme continued, large lounge, large kitchen, bedrooms a good size. There was plenty of hot water for post skiing showers. Very nice chalet, would come again. We had cars so didn’t need the ski bus. It does come quite close although they are not super frequent, so you would need to keep an eye on the time. By car it’s 5 minutes to any of the 3 local lifts. The Village itself is quite low so we experienced some rain in March, we came in February too (to another accommodation) when it mostly snowed in the village. The large carrefour supermarket is 10 minutes by car and has everything. Morillon is walkable in the evening (20-30 mins).
