"Pros: The chalet is beautifully decorated and cosy. The living room is large with a huge couch that everyone can fit on. The rooms were a good size and perfect for a large family ski holiday sleeping 8 comfortably (3 Doubles and a bunk bed) - we had 3 couples and a child. The bunk bed room leads directly into the larger double room/ en-suite so this works like a big family room and worked great for us. The owners are nearby enough to help if needed (and even brought homemade cake one day !) but don’t intrude on your stay. They are well organised in terms of arrival and check in (which was very easy!) The hot tub is beautiful and overlooks the sun setting over Mont Blanc- absolutely stunning after a days skiing. The hot tub is shared with the guests in the other apartment in the chalet, but the reservation system was really easy / fair and this didn’t impact our holiday at all. There was great snow on the mountains, but not enough snow (in February… so think this may be a regular thing) to ski out the back garden, but the chalet is literally on the edge of the blue slope down to the first lift that gives you access to the entire Paradiski area… the walk on the road down to the edge of the slope if the garden path doesn’t have enough cover is maybe 2 minutes so this isn’t a problem. Cons: The only *small* draw backs are how high up and away you are in relation to the lovely little alpine town centre of montchavin. Maps make it look close but the roads are windy and the hill is steep! It’s just a tad too far (though still very possible) to walk back home on a night (and all uphill) but overall I think the ease to get to the slopes and the lovely chalet and hot tub make up for this! There are also shuttle busses that run into the evening that can get you closer to home if you are dead keen to be out in the town on a night. The other is that the chalet is only reachable by (quite a few) steps from the road … so unloading your bags and food etc at the start and repacking at the end was a bit of a mission! And wouldn’t really be suitable for anyone with mobility issues." ~Sophie
