Cozy chalet with amazing views

We loved our stay at Janet’s chalet. It was very warm and cozy, had everything we needed and the most amazing views. There are ski areas very close and Les Houches ski area was perfect for us & kids as beginners. Our kids also had hours of fun on the sleds provided at the chalet! Janet was very responsive to our questions and any issues we had were quickly resolved. Thank you for such an amazing Christmas in the alps!

Cosy and well equipped chalet with magnificent views

Perfect chalet for our first family skiing holiday, very close to the slopes, plenty of space for a family of six, lovely views of the mountains. Away from the noise of the village but close enough to get to shops, ski lifts , ski hire shops and restaurants within five minutes. We very much enjoyed our stay in Chalet Altitude

Cosy and homely with an impressive view,

We had a lovely stay, perfect weather and great skiing. the Chalet was only a short walk from a slope - albeit over back garden land - but that meant you were on the slopes and down to a number of lifts in minutes. The Chalet had everything we needed, it was warm, and cosy, and had a great outlook down the valley; giving an impressive view both day and night. ~The owner Jan was extremely helpful and kept in contact with us all week and we felt we had value for money You do need a car to stay at this chalet due to its location up the mountain roads and my only negative comment is that the drive is very steep and when covered in snow it is slippery and when the snow was melted away by salt it became quite wet and muddy.

Nous avons passés un magnifique séjour dans le chalet de Janet dont la gentillesse et la disponibilité sont à souligner!Le chalet est trÚs bien situé (40m de la fin de la piste bleue"aillouds" qui ramÚne en bas du Prarion) : une fois la voiture garée dans la pente( un peu raide) vous n'y touchez plus! les courses peuvent se faire à pied pour les plus courageux.La vue du salon et de la chambre parentale est superbe.Tout le reste du chalet est cosy et fonctionnel.Les enfants ont adoré le cÎté" autonomie" avec le systÚme de boßte à clef..Bref, si on rajoute que le prix est tout à fait raisonnable comparé aux autres chalets de Maisonneuve, il n'y a que du positif!Merci Janet, à bientÎt!

trÚs bon séjour

Le chalet était tout à fait conforme aux photos et à la description. Nous avons passé à 6 (3 adultes et 3 enfants) un séjour trÚs confortable. Le chalet est bien équipé, trÚs chaleureux et les literies confortables. Nous avons passé des soirées et des nuits trÚs calmes. Le chalet est tout proche de la piste "Aillouds" qui descend vers le bas des télécabine. Mais en cas de neige peu abondante (comme c'était le cas pour nous en mars) la piste est fermée et il faut donc prévoir d'aller en voiture à la télécabine à 2,5 km de route

gemĂŒtliches Chalet mit Bergsicht

Ein sehr schönes Bergchalet mit viel Platz! Das Chalet ist gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet, die KĂŒche sehr gut ausgestattet, alles wunderbar hergerichtet, wenn man ankommt. Wir waren zu sechst dort und jeder hat immer einen Ort gefunden, es sich nach dem Skifahren gemĂŒtlich zu machen. Durch die zwei Badezimmer gibt es auch dort keinen Stau, sehr komfortabel! Der Kamin und der Balkon sehen auch sehr gemĂŒtlich aus (aber wir haben Beides nicht genutzt). Es gibt jede Menge (englische) BĂŒcher und DVDs, falls Unterhaltung erwĂŒnscht ist. FĂŒr Skischuhe, Helme... gibt es im Eingangsbereich im Untergeschoss genĂŒgend Platz. Uns hat auch das warme Wasser immer gereicht. Man hat von allen Zimmern aus eine tolle Aussicht auf die Berge ringsum und wenn genĂŒgend Schnee liegt, kann man vor der HaustĂŒr die Ski anschnallen und durch die GrundstĂŒcke ca. 30 m bis auf die Piste fahren (oder die Ski tragen und das StĂŒck laufen). Über die Piste auf Ski braucht man ca.2 Minuten bis zur Gondel Prarion und zum BĂ€cker - die Serpentinenstraße runter wĂ€ren es mehrere Kilometer zu laufen und bis zum nĂ€chsten Supermarkt, der am anderen Ende des Ortes liegt, wĂ€re es eine Wanderung von mehreren Stunden (Auto dringend empfohlen!). Es gibt einen Linienbus (Nr.7), der sowohl zur Station Prarion als auch Bellevue und Supermarkt fĂ€hrt. Die Auffahrt, wo das Auto parken soll, ist wirklich sehr steil und schmal - es erfordert Mut, dort zu parken, aber eine andere Möglichkeit gibt es nicht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden!

Nice stay!

We had a lovely stay. Everything we needed was available. Janet provided us with lots of information in advance. A broken dishwasher was repaired immediately. Unfortunately there was no snow and we could not ski directly from the front door. But the gondola of Les Houches and higher ski areas nearby were good and easy to reach by car.

Un petit chalet charmant mais mal ordonné.

TrĂšs bonne accueil et toutes les informations nous ont Ă©tĂ© communiquĂ©es par la propriĂ©taire. La vue est splendide et le chalet est au pieds des pistes. Et le prix est tout Ă  fait correct. Points positifs : chalet trĂšs bien situĂ© et mignon mais il pourrait ĂȘtre plus ordonnĂ©. Points Ă  amĂ©liorĂ©s : le chalet est mal ordonnĂ©. Il y des prospectus publicitaires en grand nombre qui sont expirĂ©s, dĂšs cassette VHS sur toutes les Ă©tagĂšres. Et une tĂ©lĂ© que nous n’avons pas pu mettre en fonction. Difficile de s’y retrouver avec la vaisselle Ă©parpillĂ©e dans des recoins de la salle de bain et d’autres meubles. La salle de bain du bas n’est pas visible dans l’annonce. Elle a une petite douche. Le robinet de la cuisine est mal fixĂ©. Le lave vaisselle ne lave pas bien mĂȘme si nous la rinçons au prĂ©alable. Et pour l’eau chaude ! A 6 c’est un problĂšme. Nous devons prendre une douche extrĂȘmement rapide pour que tout le monde puisse avoir de l’eau chaude. Alors quand on arrive d’une journĂ©e de ski c’est fort dĂ©sagrĂ©able. Car c’est un ballon d’eau chaude donc le dernier n’a pas d’eau chaude.

Excellent séjour dans un chalet agréable et disposant d'un magnifique panorama

Excellent NoĂ«l en famille Ă  la montagne. MĂȘme si les conditions sanitaires ne nous ont pas permis de skier et de profiter pleinement de la situation du chalet, il faut souligner qu'il est idĂ©alement placĂ© car trĂšs proche de la piste qui mĂšne au Prarion. Pas besoin de voiture pour aller chercher les pistes. Mais nĂ©cessaire tout de mĂȘme pour faire ses courses. La route d'accĂšs est relativement pratique et dĂ©neigĂ©e assez rapidement. Le chalet est agrĂ©able et parfaitement Ă©quipĂ©, ce qui tĂ©moigne de l'attachement de sa propriĂ©taire Ă  tout mettre en oeuvre pour que les vacanciers s'y sentent bien. La vue sur la vallĂ©e de Chamonix est superbe. Et la cheminĂ©e fonctionne parfaitement. Seuls hics, un robinet de cuisine dĂ©fectueux et l'impossibilitĂ© de garer plus d'une voiture en bas du chemin d'accĂšs au chalet, sauf Ă  avoir un gros 4x4 (la pente est raide). Pour le robinet, il convient cependant de souligner que la propriĂ©taire ne pouvait ĂȘtre prĂ©sente avant notre arrivĂ©e du fait de la crise covid. C'est bien dommage de n'avoir pu la rencontrer car les Ă©changes ont Ă©tĂ© trĂšs sympathiques. Merci Janet
