Question 1

Is there Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Wi-Fi is available in the house. Please note that, as we are in a mountain area, speeds may vary!

Question 2

How far are the ski slopes?

Accepted Answer

There are beginner slopes 400m away from the chalet, perfect for children and adults learning how to ski. There is a fantastic restaurant right on the slope, Le Rouet, great for a cheeky hot chocolate break whilst you watch your kids.

Otherwise, the Grand Massif Express is a 10min drive away. There is plenty of parking at the bottom. The Grand Massif ski area connects Sixt, Samoens, Morillon, Les Carroz, and Flaine: 265 km of pistes, 139+ slopes. Great for all levels.

There is also a ski shuttle that stops 50m from our chalet.

Question 3

Is the house suitable for families with children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the house is suitable for families with children. There is a room with 2 bunk beds (4 beds in total), and if requested we can provide 2 cot beds and 1 high chair.

Please note that, as with many mountain homes, parental supervision is required in outdoor areas, especially around the hot tub when in use.

Question 4

Is the house fully self-catered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The house is fully self-catered and includes a very well-equipped, semi-professional kitchen so you can cook and eat at your own pace. If you would like a break from cooking, there are plenty of restaurants in the area, you can also contact some private chefs in the area like Jess, whom we know well.

Question 5

Is a car necessary?

Accepted Answer

A car is strongly recommended, especially in winter, to allow easy access to ski areas, shops, and nearby activities.
