The chalet is perfect for a family gathering. The downstairs bedrooms could do with a bit of a revamp: the 1.40 m bed is a bit small and there aren’t enough cupboards for clothes; the kitchen is excellent but a few more small pans could be added; the living area is a bit cramped and lacks a sofa for 20 people. The upper floor is very good; the lower floor is spotless. To sum up, it’s a great place to stay. There aren’t many shops in the village. The baker’s bread isn’t great. Head straight to Châtel for shopping and a drink.
