Toorna and Duncan (the owners) went out of their way in advance of our stay to ensure all our numerous requests were catered for which was to be so important with so many small children. Chalet Chamois itself was beautiful with lovely cosy ensuite bedrooms, a good sized dining area and lounge to relax in. The separate toilet in the bootroom proved extremely useful given we had children staying in each bedroom, so saved disturbing them after they had gone to bed. We also took advantage of the hot tub on most days with stunning views across the valley to Mont Blanc.
The chalet host Hannah and chef Robbie really made the holiday for us. Hannah was just lovely, nothing was too much trouble and she dealt with all our requests with a smile. Robbie’s food was the best we’ve had on a ski trip; we were all impressed with the variety and the quality of the food. Robbie also did a great job catering for the children, which can be challenging!
The chalet’s position meant we could ski in and out from the door of the bootroom, and the bootroom itself was really well equipped, with heated bootwarmers and a number of sledges which the children loved. It was a 5-7 min walk downhill to Les Coches which was handy for lunches on non-skiing days and picking up forgotten items from the ski shops. Les Coches’ position near to the Vanoise Express meant we could take advantage of skiing in both Les Arcs and La Plagne (with a paradiski lift pass) which provided a huge ski area to explore.
We had a perfect week thanks to Toorna, Duncan, Hannah and Robbie and look forward to returning again.
