Great Chalet
This chalet was perfect for us, we were 4 children and 4 adults. The property was really well equipped, the kitchen had everything you could need. The owner is so helpful, she helped with our ski hire, gave recommendations of where to ski, ski schools and general information on the area. The resort was perfect for children learning to ski, the ski instructors (ESF) were great. It’s a lovely little resort. There wasn’t masses of snow whilst we were there, perfect for the lessons but we headed to Châtel (5mins away) for the afternoons and the skiing was great there.

Fantastic home from home
We had an absolutely delightful 2 weeks during August in this lovely chalet. It felt like a home rather than 'just another rental property'. Well-furnished and obviously loved by the owners with all the day-to-day appliances and utensils you might need. All the bedrooms were a decent size with two having wonderful south-facing balcony views across the valley and to the mountains in the east. The sitting/dining/kitchen space was great with plenty of seating space for everyone around both the dining table and TV/Fireplace and with great access to the south-facing balcony and patio with 2 outdoor seating/dining spaces, one in the shade (west) and another in the sun (east). A supermarket is just a short drive away and there are plenty of places to eat out just a short walk down the hill. There is no shortage of wonderful walks/hikes for all abilities directly from the chalet or within a half-hour drive. We loved the chalet and Irene (the owner) was easy to contact, attentive, and lovely to deal with. Thanks Irene, we had a great summer holiday, wish we could have stayed longer.

Great property, just as advertised. Excellent lounge, dining kitchen area - enough for double our family size. Bedrooms all of a good size, we only used 2 out of the 4, so plenty of room for a large family. Chalet was very clean and had everything we needed for weeks holiday. Great location close to ski here , good restaurants and great views over the valley. Easy access (by car) to local slopes but we drove to main Chatel car park to access Chatel / Avoriaz slopes. Owner Irene - great at communication, provided everything / all information required. Was available on Whatsapp, answered immediately, very friendly / helpful and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok - no problems at all. Highly recommend ! - i rarely write a review but wanted to share.

Well equipped chalet, ideal for families
We stayed at Irene's chalet with two small kids. The chalet is beautiful. Much larger than seen in the photos. It has an ideal lay-out, with one large bedroom on the ground floor and three others on the second floor. We had everything we needed and more for a holiday with two babies: two high chairs, one baby cot, a baby changing area with its own sink, and a fully equipped kitchen. The chalet is pretty close to the center of La Chapelle d'Abondance (five minute walking distance, a bit longer on the way back as it is uphill) which has a few good restaurants and a bakery. The closest supermarket is about 5-10 minute drive away and it is best to drive to one of the more central lifts to have immediate access to the heart of Portes du Soleil. We drove to Pre la Joux lift, which took us about 15-20 minutes. Communication with Irene was very good. She has gotten in touch with us long before our holiday and has given us a lot of information upfront. She also has checked in on us during our stay. As everything worked very well, we didn't need any on site assistance, but if needed there is also a local manager who can help. All in all, it has been a great holiday in a beautiful chalet and we would certainly be back when we are in Portes du Soleil area again.

Chalet tell you a tale of our time in Chapelle d'Abondance?
We stayed here as a group of friends for our New Years get together and had a great time. Location is great for skiing. Possible to walk to nearby ski areas depending on snow level and Chatel is only a short drive away and seemingly good in all conditions. The town of La Chapelle d’Abondance is only a 5 minute walk down the hill and the nearby restaurant of Fer Rouge perfect for evening drinks and snacks, with the restaurant brilliant for a lavish evening meal. The dog sledding nearby was greatly enjoyed as a unique experience and being able to see them along the valley from the chalet balcony was a lovely morning sight. Most days we ate in the chalet, the kitchen was well equipped, easy to use, and large enough to prepare meals for 7 comfortably. The whole chalet was well equipped with plenty of seating and space for our group. The fridge / freezer is quite small, so if you plan to bring more than a few days worth of supplies it’s best to keep that in mind. Those who arrived first had no complaints about the check-in procedure. I arrived quite late, and would have struggled to find the chalet in the dark if it weren’t for my friends having already arrived coming out to show us where to go. The only negative point for the whole experience would be the difficulty of finding it in the dark. Communication with the property manager was perfect, quick responses, proactively checked everything was correct on arrival, and even left a little welcome gift. Highly Recommend, 5*s

Excellent séjour dans superbe chalet
Nos vacances au chalet se sont très bien passées. Le chalet est spacieux, confortable, bien agencé, joliment décoré et très bien équipé (l'annonce ne le précise pas mais la cuisine est largement équipée en termes de petit électro-ménager et de vaisselle). Terrasse agréable avec ses 3 orientations. Belle vue. Soirées au coin du feu. Pièce à vivre lumineuse (même en décembre). La propriétaire est très réactive. La buanderie au niveau 0 (évier, lave-linge, sèche-linge) est très pratique, le vaste garage permet de stocker skis, courses, valises (les voitures restent dehors, protégées par le toit et un abri).

Magnifique Semaine "sans soucis"
Nous sommes partis entres amis (4) avec nos enfants et nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans ce chalet. Nous l'avons découvert plus grand qu’imaginer, ce qui est toujours une excellente surprise. Nous étions à 2 voitures et avons eu toute la place nécessaire pour le garé. Le village de Chapelle d'Abondance est très agréable. Un tout grand merci à la propriétaire qui a été aux petits soins avec nous dès le début de la procédure de location. Nous envisageons d'y retourner !!!

Juste Magnifique !
Ce chalet est juste superbe, et ceci pour plusieurs raisons: - Situation: A gauche à une minute (en voiture) les pistes du Panthiaz, à droite à 5 minutes le crêt Beni. Tous deux super pour skier en famille. Puis les superbes pistes de châtel à 10 min. - Position: Juste au dessus du village en face des pistes ski de fond, donnant une superbe vue avec une belle exposition au soleil. - Chalet: Très propre, très fonctionnel, bien décoré et très bien équipé (Les photos ne lui font d'ailleurs pas honneur) - La propriétaire: Très sympathique, répond rapidement aux questions, besoin. Bref, en toute honnêteté, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.
