Super chalet with incredible views!
Just a little problem with the oven, which we only got to use at the end of the week, but that only spoilt one meal.
On the other hand, although it's accessible on skis, it's not, for me, ‘ski-in, ski-out’ as you have to:
- go via a small path (not well indicated in the information provided)
- walk up ~5 minutes to leave
