Good choice for families on a budget

Points positifs : This is a cozy and economical flat, but everything is well-maintained and the overall feel is nice and comfortable. This is a good choice for families on a budget (our two children slept in the bedroom so that we could stay up later) and very few flats in this price range come with a working kitchen, but this one has most everything you need to do some home cooking and keep the costs down. We even spotted a raclette set up in the cupboards, but as we’d bright our own didn’t try it. You’re between two of the shuttle bus stops to get to Le Lac, but there’s a useful lift much closer by if you’re a decent skier, a Poma to get beginners to the ESF area, and if there’s enough snow then you can certainly ‘ski in’ (skiing out requires a bit of hiking so probably not worth it).

Points négatifs : There’s no question that the bathroom in particular is small, making it hard to keep it fully organised and to keep water in the shower: use a fast-drying towel as a bath mat and key the toiletries to a minimum. We also hadn’t quite registered that the pullout is effectively two single beds so bring the right sheets. But this is all marginal stuff: we wanted to ski, not swan about the flat drinking cocktails and working on our tans. If you want the party go to Val Claret.
