We loved our stay at Janet’s chalet. It was very warm and cozy, had everything we needed and the most amazing views. There are ski areas very close and Les Houches ski area was perfect for us & kids as beginners. Our kids also had hours of fun on the sleds provided at the chalet! Janet was very responsive to our questions and any issues we had were quickly resolved. Thank you for such an amazing Christmas in the alps!

We had a lovely stay. Everything we needed was available. Janet provided us with lots of information in advance. A broken dishwasher was repaired immediately. Unfortunately there was no snow and we could not ski directly from the front door. But the gondola of Les Houches and higher ski areas nearby were good and easy to reach by car.

Perfect chalet for our first family skiing holiday, very close to the slopes, plenty of space for a family of six, lovely views of the mountains. Away from the noise of the village but close enough to get to shops, ski lifts , ski hire shops and restaurants within five minutes. We very much enjoyed our stay in Chalet Altitude

Un petit chalet charmant mais mal ordonné.
Très bonne accueil et toutes les informations nous ont été communiquées par la propriétaire. La vue est splendide et le chalet est au pieds des pistes.
Et le prix est tout à fait correct.
Points positifs : chalet très bien situé et mignon mais il pourrait être plus ordonné.
Points à améliorés : le chalet est mal ordonné. Il y des prospectus publicitaires en grand nombre qui sont expirés, dès cassette VHS sur toutes les étagères.
Et une télé que nous n’avons pas pu mettre en fonction.
Difficile de s’y retrouver avec la vaisselle éparpillée dans des recoins de la salle de bain et d’autres meubles.
La salle de bain du bas n’est pas visible dans l’annonce. Elle a une petite douche.
Le robinet de la cuisine est mal fixé.
Le lave vaisselle ne lave pas bien même si nous la rinçons au préalable.
Et pour l’eau chaude ! A 6 c’est un problème. Nous devons prendre une douche extrêmement rapide pour que tout le monde puisse avoir de l’eau chaude. Alors quand on arrive d’une journée de ski c’est fort désagréable.
Car c’est un ballon d’eau chaude donc le dernier n’a pas d’eau chaude.

Excellent séjour dans un chalet agréable et disposant d'un magnifique panorama
Excellent Noël en famille à la montagne.
Même si les conditions sanitaires ne nous ont pas permis de skier et de profiter pleinement de la situation du chalet, il faut souligner qu'il est idéalement placé car très proche de la piste qui mène au Prarion. Pas besoin de voiture pour aller chercher les pistes. Mais nécessaire tout de même pour faire ses courses. La route d'accès est relativement pratique et déneigée assez rapidement.
Le chalet est agréable et parfaitement équipé, ce qui témoigne de l'attachement de sa propriétaire à tout mettre en oeuvre pour que les vacanciers s'y sentent bien. La vue sur la vallée de Chamonix est superbe. Et la cheminée fonctionne parfaitement.
Seuls hics, un robinet de cuisine défectueux et l'impossibilité de garer plus d'une voiture en bas du chemin d'accès au chalet, sauf à avoir un gros 4x4 (la pente est raide). Pour le robinet, il convient cependant de souligner que la propriétaire ne pouvait être présente avant notre arrivée du fait de la crise covid.
C'est bien dommage de n'avoir pu la rencontrer car les échanges ont été très sympathiques.
Merci Janet

Chalet parfait au pieds des pistes
Super accueil de Janet qui vous assure de passer un bon moment. Le chalet est très bien situé au bord de la piste qui descend au Prarion, quel bonheur de ne pas prendre sa voiture !

Cosy and homely with an impressive view,
We had a lovely stay, perfect weather and great skiing. the Chalet was only a short walk from a slope - albeit over back garden land - but that meant you were on the slopes and down to a number of lifts in minutes. The Chalet had everything we needed, it was warm, and cosy, and had a great outlook down the valley; giving an impressive view both day and night. ~The owner Jan was extremely helpful and kept in contact with us all week and we felt we had value for money
You do need a car to stay at this chalet due to its location up the mountain roads and my only negative comment is that the drive is very steep and when covered in snow it is slippery and when the snow was melted away by salt it became quite wet and muddy.

We have stayed twice now at Chalet Altitude, actually booking our second stay whilst there the first time! We were made to feel welcome even before arriving, the owner being prompt in replying and helpful in providing all the information that we required. The chalet was exactly as we expected it to be from the photos and info received beforehand – bright, spacious, clean, with a FANTASTIC view of the Chamonix valley. There was an excellent range of cooking equipment which was all well utilised. Everything in the chalet worked – TV, wifi, all cooking equipment. All the beds and bedrooms were thoroughly cleaned and all of a good size, all with superb views again. With easy access to the piste – some 30m away, all was happiness and contentment with the skiers in our group. Needless to say we are now booked in to visit again next year, and are looking forward to it already! Merci bien Jan et Monique!

So good to have so much room, not like many that are like small caravans. Every thing you need, wifi, washing m/c, drier etc. Convenient for the lifts but a car is essential. The views are magnificent. We were there for 3 weeks and had a great time.We will certainly return as we love the skiing in Les Houches. Very good customer service, could not be more helpful. Thank you Jan and Monique
