Chalet with stunning views in the Valley D'Abondance

It was a fantastic holiday in this sweet chalet! Everything was very clean, comfortable and there was everything you need. The location is also very good, beautiful view and very good to walk with dogs. But to go to Châpel for skiing, you need your car, because the buses are very unreliable.But this chalet is so lovely and we would love to come back! The host is very friendly and helpfully all the time!

We travelled to Portes du Soleil with our two children, aged 5 & 6 for February half term 2025.The booking process was seamless and Emma provided just the right amount of information we needed, including recommendations for ski schools. We checked in late, which wasn’t a problem at all, and the chalet was spotlessly clean, beds made up and ready to go for the first day’s skiing. The VRBO advert doesn’t do the chalet justice - it is ideally placed for a very short drive to the main lift, SuperChatel and I dropped my family off just beneath the lift in a 15-min drop zone, then parked a little lower down the village. By the time I then got to the top of the gondola, the children had just started ski school each day and we could then have a couple of hours skiing to ourselves before carrying on skiing with the children for the rest of the day. The chalet is perfect and traditional, nicely equipped, wonderfully decorated with various paintings including panel paintings on the wardrobes and dining benches, very cosy and with the most amazing log fire which heats most of the house. The ground floor has a great space for storing and maintaining skis and drying boots, cleaning laundry etc. The balconies are great for late afternoon drinks or for the brave - al fresco breakfast!We have no hesitation in recommending Emma and her husband (and of the course the chalet) for a wonderful, peaceful, stay. Thanks so much for a great week.

This is a truly great chalet in a very convenient location. Everything you need will be there and in good condition. You can easily reach various starting points to enter the ski resort, the supermarket is close by, and although the main road is right below, it is a really quite place to stay. Emma, who is renting out the place, was great in communicating everything and made sure we had a good start to our vacation. I can recommend this chalet without reservation!

This is our second summer stay. It’s a lovely chalet with great amenities, superb location, lovely views and in a terrific location.

Another great stay in chatel with friends. Thanks again for all your help Emma. See you again next year.

We had a lovely week in Chapelle. The mountains are beautiful and there are lots of things to do. The house is spacious and clean. Everything you need is available. We have made trips to Montreux, Lausanne, Evian and Thonon. We also had soms niet hikes and have experienced the Fantasticable in Chatel. We highly recommend this house.

Very good contact with the owner-Emma. The chalet is comfortable, well equipped and located halfway between Chapelle d'Abondance and Chatel. Do not hesitate to book the place for holidays...
