This is the 3rd year running I have stayed in Chalet De La Vanoise, and this year was even better with the addition of the hot tub overlooking the valley, and the refurbished boot room with boot warmers. This chalet is second to none; this year’s chef was extremely talented delivering amazing top restaurant quality food every time. Being located for such easy access to the vast ski area just makes me think why would I go anywhere else.

Stayed here last week and it was absolutely first class. Lee and Kevin were wonderful hosts.The food served by Lewis and Sadie was the best i have had in any catered chalet and on a par with a very good restaurant. With the whole of La Plagne and Les Arcs at your doorstep I would recommend this to anyone looking for a friendly, relaxed chalet with brilliant food.

This was the first skiing holiday going to a catered chalet and we certainly were not disappointed. We arrived very late with two children aged 12 and 9 and to say we were apprehensive about sharing a chalet with others that we did not know was a concern however, not necessary as we found out. We were the only ones in the chalet with children and thankfully our children just fitted in. The chalet hosts Capri and Hayden were just brilliant and catered to everything requested. The others in the chalet were a group of british expats who were certainly entertaining - especially at dinner time with songs! Lee the owner was great and extremely helpful with any questions. We had a great room with more than enough space for us all and a great view of the pardiski area. Overall the food, wine and company was just great. We definately want to return if allowed.

From the start of planning the holiday Kevin & Lee were extremely helpful & accommodating, all their recommendations for transfers, ski hire & lessons were spot on. The chalet is nice & modern whilst still giving the idyllic Alpine appeal, it has the largest rooms for a chalet our group had experienced & proved ideal for a large group with young children. It is well located with just a short walk in to the lovely village & even with the poor snow conditions we were still able to ski back to within 200 metres of the chalet & we were able to get some great skiing in at the higher altitudes that the La Plagne & Les Arcs areas offer. Our hosts for the week, Capri & Hayden were absolutely perfect & they couldn't do enough for us & the kids, the food was absolutely amazing all prepared from scratch & I guarantee the best you will ever have in a catered chalet or even most top restaurants.

The title says it all !!!
We were a group of 7 lads and dads on a weeks skiing and boarding and had a fantastic time.
Prior to getting there Lee's communication and knowledge were brilliant and she had helped us book lift passes, lessons and rental prior to arriving so we were straight on the slopes the next day.
The chalet itself it about 200m walk from the slopes with a small blue run down to the main lifts. You can ski back when the snow is good but we werent that lucky I'm afraid.
The views from the chalet are stunning across the valley. The bedrooms are all spacious and comfortable and come with English and European sockets.
The amazing part of this holiday is the food. Hayden the chef is a master at what he does. It was like eating at a top end restaurant every night, having 3 courses and with complimentry wine as well, what's not to like ??? I thought I could cook prior to the holiday, but found myself asking how he made half of what we ate. To arrive to a glass of champagne, duck and caramelised onion crostinis and a smoked salmon will give you an idea of what your in for.
The owners are fantastic, lovely people, gave us great advice on where to ski, picked us up when picked up injuries and even met us in the local bar for a beer or two.
I cannot recommend this place enough, just wish the snow had been a little better.

We recently stayed with Kevin and Lee with our two daughters aged 15 and 13 years and our dog Benji. Our chef Hayden went out of his way to accommodate our eating habits. One daughter is vegetarian and the other a fussy eater - nothing was too much trouble. Kevin and Lee were always on hand to give advice and have a chat with. We were very early in the season to ski and so snow was limited, but with excellent connections to La Plagne we still had the ability to have good ski area. The village itself is a beautiful and typically French. We were lucky enough to be there over Christmas and experience all the Christmas Festivities. The chalet laid on a fantastic Christmas meal with all the trimmings. My daughters and husband even helped to cut down the Christmas tree. Thanks to Lee, Kevin, Hayden and Capri for a very special family Christmas.
we joined up with friends as a party of 8. we had other family of 4 in the village.
12 of at times sat outside as the sun set having conversation or eating.
great place to cool off on very hot days.
having kids ..7 in all when they got together was memorable. the played table tennis, board games and watched films.
The house, the host and location left one with nothing to complain about.
I hear it is great in Winter too...my vote for a summer hideaway and place from where to enjoy hikes in beautiful terrain gives Chalet Vanoise a summer Thumbs Up.
Thank you Lee and Kevin. Thank you Julie and Enzo.
