A fabulous, lovely and cosy chalet !!!

THANK you very much for letting us using your chalet! We all enjoyed it VERY VERY much!!! A fabulous, lovely and cosy chalet!!!

Our kids were very unhappy to leave your chalet and our younger one asked to be left behind. He liked it so much he could have moved there ))

Also all us adults loved the hot tub and the sauna was great (as we are from Finland we especially liked it of course)
We will warmly recom­mend your chalet and hopefully one day we can return to it! Not to mention the excel­lent skiing we had as well!! Lovely and quite quiet in the slopes this time of the year as well!! We were sooo lucky and could ski every day!!

“Extremely comfort­able, spacious, homely and brilliantly appointed”

Your chalet is a total winner — we all loved it!
It’s extremely comfort­able, spacious, homely and brilliantly appointed. We all agreed it was a sure thing for next time!
I don’t really have any negative feedback at all and found your commu­ni­ca­tion and entire process slick and honest.
My sister and brother-in law are hoping to book the chalet at the end of the year — so look out for the inquiry. Thanks!

“Fantas­tic”

We are back from our wonder­ful 2 weeks spent in Chamonix. Thank you for letting us stay in your chalet. The terri­tory near chalet and the location are fantas­tic which helped a lot in organiz­ing kids activ­i­ties daily. It was a great pleasure meeting you and your team.

“We had a fabulous time”

We had a fabulous time in the chalet, it was ideal for us — thank you!
To be honest I can’t really fault anything, it was immac­u­lately clean and tidy, very well appointed, comfort­able beds (we were in the mazot, luckily we are both quite small!) and so easy to get every­where. Your website is excel­lent, it has every­thing you could possi­bly ever need to know about, and booking was very straight­for­ward. The hot tub was great for sore muscles after a day in the mountains, it was gorgeous sitting in it late at night and looking at the stars. The kitchen was great, we did strug­gle a little with fridge space but that is only because of all the beer and wine and we did have an overflow one in the mazot! (We have since replaced the fridge, M.T.) We made full use of the new outdoor table, it was brilliant, and the umbrella was great too and offered some much needed shade.

All in all a great holiday, I’m sure we will be back one day soon, I’d love to see the chalet in the snow!

“We loved the ambience of the chalet”

I think what stood out for us was that almost every­thing was so well thought-out and so well prepared, to the point where one night we couldn’t find the fuel for the fondue and I just kept insist­ing “I’m sure it’s somewhere, every­thing must be somewhere, I just can’t imagine Martha hadn’t prepared it.”

Of course we loved the hot-tub, but I imagine you hear that a lot. It was definitely far beyond what we could have expected. We loved the ambience of the chalet, the setup and the decora­tion and the facil­i­ties you’ve put in place. The ski shed key locker and boots-vent, the mazot, the sauna were all so cleverly done. We also really appre­ci­ated the fully equipped kitchen — for us cooking and enjoy­ing a whole­some dinner was an essen­tial part of the chalet experi­ence and having such a well-prepped kitchen made a big difference.

We were also hugely impressed with your info prepa­ra­tions — the booklets and info pages, they were so well done! I’m in market­ing myself, and I just kept think­ing, I wish all the market­ing people in my company would be so customer-dedicated. Every­thing felt like it was done to make our stay more conve­nient and enjoy­able, it made a big differ­ence.

“Every­thing was great”

“We had a wonder­ful time at the chalet, every­thing was great – thank you! The weather was amazing and I even managed to drag my mum up the aiguille du midi – it was stunning as usual. Looking forward to return­ing to the chalet soon. I’ve got some lovely photos! You’re very lucky to own such a wonder­ful place – it’s our dream to have a place there one day!

Thanks again and hope to speak to you about re-booking at some point!

“Every house is a book talking about who lived there: this one was plenty of good feelings, good taste and it keeps perfect harmony with its environment. ”

First of all thank you for every­thing. I was first impressed by the web site, then convinced by your emails and now satis­fied by Lou’s atten­dance, the house itself and your hospitality.Booking process was easy, the web site is a hit! The email commu­ni­ca­tion worked perfectly and the friendly manage­ment was a key point for us. Location much better than expected, we were glad to be outside the ‘UTMB fever’ for a while and the town is beauti­ful. Level of comfort is very good, beds are fantas­tic (which is always hard to find). Facil­i­ties were good in general, the few things that did not work 100% are not signif­i­cant. (we had some problems with our ADSL line at the time — martha). The garden was real amuse­ment park for the girls, the views surpassed expec­ta­tions and the neigh­bors were non-existent so we enjoyed total privacy (extra-ball!).

Every house is a book talking about who lived there: this one was plenty of good feelings, good taste and it keeps perfect harmony with its environ­ment. I really appre­ci­ate all the small details and the consis­tent style (materi­als, colors, textures, and so on) you kept for the inside/outside of the house.It’s great to see you love mountains and the love put in the construc­tion of the house.

To be Improved? Please keep it as it is and let us enjoy it again in the future!

“The chalet…exceeded by far our expectations. ”

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much the family and I all enjoyed our holiday @ Chalet La Foret. Without question, every aspect from the Chalet, Sarah the Chef or Lou and Andy exceeded by far our expectations.

The holiday worked for all of us, even the non-skiers! The fact I can now snowboard is perhaps the most surpris­ing of all!
Without question I’d recom­mend your Chalet and I hope to be able to arrange our skiing trip next year along the same lines.

Prompt­ness of response — excel­lent.

Infor­ma­tion provided — excel­lent.
Location — excel­lent and extremely picturesque.
Presen­ta­tion and level of comfort — first rate.

“We really enjoyed our stay!”

“We really enjoyed our stay!
The chalet was wonder­ful and we used all the extra’s: the fireplace, the sauna and the hot tub.
Location was better than expected, I thought the walk towards la Flegere would be much longer. We were also pleas­antly surprised that the bus towards Grands Montets was so close.
We also enjoyed the books, especially the one with fondue recipes:-)”

“Once again A BIG THANKYOU we had the best time.”

“Firstly we loved it truly.. it was every­thing we were hoping for.

Clean­li­ness was first class…the girls were very thorough.

The presen­ta­tion of the chalet was very homely, the master bed was really comfort­able and all the other guests commented how their beds were great too.
The towels were especially nice as the usual in France are between a tea towel and a flannel!!

I was a bit concerned of the location when I booked the Chalet as we have always stayed in town, however, there was no need as I actually preferred being in Les Praz as the quiet­ness outside the chalet was wonder­ful. Louise was at hand for any queries that we had, very helpful. Once again A BIG THANKYOU we had the best time.”

“A magical place”

“Our stay at at Chalet la foret was magical. We were greeted by the first fall of the season and made the most of it by having a night­ime hot tub, marveling at the pine forest and the silence as the snow fell. The Chalet was comfy and cosi and had every­thing we needed.

We woke up to sparkling views of snow topped mountains and laden pine trees. The kids had a great time playing in the exten­sive and enclosed garden. Night­imes were spent eating local food — the raclets were amazing — and reading by the fire. The scenery is breath­tak­ing, loads of activ­i­tys for kids, the town is lovely — we especially enjoyed the satur­day morning market.

Cant wait to come back !”

“Wonder­ful…”

“The second time we have stayed at Chalet la Foret. It has a wonder­ful homely feel, cozy and warm — whilst spacious, the bedrooms are very comfort­able and the kitchen’s superbly equipped. There’s a big bath in the bathroom and a superb wetroom.

Situated in a wooded area of Les Praz village — the view across the garden and over the woods to the mountains is spectac­u­lar [especially from the hot tub].

It’s a 5 minute stroll to the Flegere cable car and because Lez Praz is –geograph­i­cally– halfway between Brevent and Grand Montet, they are a short car or bus ride away… The skiing in Chamonix is truely amazing.

“Stunning!”

We had a truly lovely holiday and would like to thank you for a lovely time! The Chalet was absolutely beauti­ful… the house and its surround­ings! The children loved explor­ing the woods, the treehouse and the hot tub! The lovely country, farmhouse kitchen made at eat at home most evenings… and the great tv and playsta­tion kept them amused in the evening too!

We would you rate your facil­i­ties as …

Website– easy to use, full of useful infor­ma­tion, and great to show off photos to friends and family!

Prompt­ness of response to your initial inquiry– incred­i­ble, phoned directly, booked within an hour!

Ease of booking– great, speedy, lots of useful infor­ma­tion to use in Chamonix!

Driving direc­tions– great…

Arrival impres­sions of the property– beauti­ful! Just wanted to explore.…

Presen­ta­tion and level of comfort– very good… beds were very comfy and bathrooms were lovely! Only sugges­tion I would make would be to pre heat the Chalet before guests arrive… we were pretty cold the first evening and it took the men a few hours to work out!

(Many thanks for letting us know, it won’t happen again! M)

Standard of clean­li­ness– excel­lent! Met the lady who cleans the Hot tub and her son… she was lovely, and had a long chat with her about her fantas­tic life in Chamonix! Charlie ran around with our children and played in the glori­ous garden in the beauti­ful sunshine!

Value for money– reason­able… although quite pricey, did spend a lot of time there as it was so lovely! Which saved money on restau­rants and bars! Similarly priced to other Chalets!

Had a lovely time and will definitely be back… the Chalet and its grounds were stunning! A great holiday– thank-you!”

“Great place to stay in Chamonix”

“This is a fantas­tic chalet, close to the Flegere lift, so you don’t need to wait for the skibus. The facil­i­ties are great, free-wifi, hot-tub, wetroom, and a gener­ous drinks cabinet The little outside cottage is ideal if you want some privacy, and the garden is huge with a dedicated boot-room with boot dryers. Well recom­mended if you are looking for a place with a group of friends”

“A dream place in a dream location”

“We have found our perfect alpine chalet, with all the home comforts and neces­si­ties a family could need. Chalet la Foret is both incred­i­bly spacious & yet very cosy. The views from the house & garden, both day & night are without a doubt the most spectac­u­lar we’ve seen. We will definitely be return­ing here with & without the kids again & again!”
