I went with a complete group of 18 people so was lucky enough to have the chalet to ourselves. If it hadn't been for this however, I don't imagine I would have enjoyed the experience quite so much.... The living area for such a large chalet was very, very small and the sofa was broken and extremely uncomfortable which is... More

Having read the previous reviews for this chalet before travelling I was really worried that we had booked a dud but am really happy to say that it was not! I can understand why people would be upset with furniture/hot-tubs/electrics not working but when we arrived in April 2013, all of these things had been addressed and fixed. Yes, there... More

Alpine Elements are a joke. I have never written a review before but the company and this chalet are so not worth the money I think something should be said. It began with the 'private transfer' we had paid extra actually being a 30 person bus. (Upon rerturn AE refused to refund our money and instead gave us a totally... More

Having read the reviews and aware of alpine elements we had low expectations but as a late deal ias long as we had a bed we'd be happy. Overall the chalet is what it is basic anf fit for purpose. For sub £500 we had flights, transfers, accom and food which although not inspiring was okay, except the tartiflete. Seriously... More

Just returned home after a good weeks skiing in Merribel. We stayed at the chalet Lou trave. Our room was very good, we had the double, it was clean and very roomy. The chalet staff Jack and Tilly were brilliant. I really don't know how they turned out such good home cooked food in such a small kitchen. The holiday... More

Our chalet hosts were very friendly and accommodating and the food was good, prepared on time and was always hot. As a vegetarian I was given good, tasty alternatives that were not just melted cheese or nut roast! The chalet however is very poor and not at all a reflection of the brochure or the rating. Alpine Elements give this... More

This chalet and Alpine Elements should be avoided at all costs. It was dirty beyond all belief with cockcroaches and mice in it. It was dangerous with no fire instructions or care taken to fix broken light fittings, icy access to chalet. Staff stole money (Alpine Elements staff). staff lied to us re promises to book resturants, lied about faulty... More

I have to commend our chalet host Tilly and customer service staff prior to travelling, however, we frequently had reps strolling in and out of our chalet as they pleased which we found rather intrusive to the comfort of our holiday. Similarly, the standard of the chalet was very poor. The rooms were very hit and miss regarding standard but... More

Jen and Tom were exceptional chalet hosts and ensured that we had a fantastic week in Chalet Lou Trave in February 2012! They were extremely personable, great cooks (we certainly never went hungry!) and kept the chalet looking spotless. They consistently went the extra mile. We were particularly impressed with the value for money with this chalet, and couldn't believe... More
