Les Balcons de la Sagne - Au Pied des Pistes

😊: The surroundings are beautiful and if you're lucky the weather cooperates and you're not visiting during a major holiday it would be a very interesting and breathtaking place.. 😢: The rental process is incredibly bureaucratic, requiring multiple registrations, deposits, and ID uploads. Despite completing this "multi-step" gauntlet, we were provided with the wrong door code. We were left stranded in the snow for several hours, only gaining entry when a guest from another apartment happened to open the door. The apartment is poorly maintained and differs significantly from the listing photos: Fire Safety: There is no ventilation above the stove, and multiple fire alarms had been removed from the walls. Only one alarm upstairs remained functional. Given that an extension cord actually caught fire during our stay, this lack of protection was terrifying. We notified management immediately, and although they said they would fix it, nothing was done during our stay. I have lots of pictures to show this, but it the review won't give me an option to upload these. Renovation Quality: The unit features amateurish electrical work with exposed wiring throughout. General Upkeep: The bathroom mirror was broken and hadn't been replaced, and the bathroom light was non-functional, forcing us to shower in the dark. We had some extreme weather circumstances during our stay. Apart from the 5 out of 5 risk of avalanches, a severe snowstorm had buried the parking lot. Management showed zero flexibility. Despite it being physically impossible to move our vehicle with two children in tow, we were told we had to vacate immediately because "new guests were coming"—ignoring the fact that no one could get in or out of the complex, including any new guests. The focus was entirely on turnover, with zero regard for guest safety in extreme conditions. Linens: Be prepared for a €60 surcharge if you do not bring your own. Deposit: Our €500 deposit was not returned within the promised 7-day window. It required several formal demands before they finally rectified the situation..
