Vicky and Ian are very good hosts. They were there when we arrived and thoughtfully had stocked the fridge with some fresh milk, cold beers and a bottle of sparkling wine plus left in the kitchen some semi-cooked baguettes so we could bake them if we wished. The chalet is very spacious, over 2 floors, extremely clean and we wanted for nothing other than a coffee percolator (there is a pod machine). There is everything anyone would need for a weeks stay plus more. The wood stove was lovely and we lit it a couple of times (Ian had made it up for lighting). The beds are comfortable, the bedding is nice, AND the sofa is comfortable which is a rarity in a ski chalet. The kitchen is well fitted with a full size fridge freezer ,microwave, dishwasher, full size fan oven (which is helpful as I always bring frozen home cooked meals rather than cook on holiday). The main bathroom is huge with bath and separate shower and plenty of hot water. There is another w.c upstairs by the bedrooms. Sixt is very small and better suited to inexperienced skiers but once in Samoens (by car or ski bus) you can link into the Grand Massif ski area and get into Flaine very quickly. For people just starting out with skiing or with young children starting to ski, Sixt is ideal as the chalet is a very short walk to to drag lifts and lessons meeting area. Unfortunately the chairlift to the red and black runs was closed this year due to plans for a new lift to the top of Samoens to be put in so we never skied in Sixt as the available runs were not suitable for us but we thought what a good area it would have been when our children were younger. The only warning I would say for people staying with younger children at the chalet is that the stairs are open on one side and I think a balustrade should be put in that side as there is on the other side of the staircase but there are fittings for stairgates. It was a real bonus to have a washing machine in a separate utility room so we were able to put a load of ski stuff through midweek and take it home clean. And for those with younger children it would be a bonus to be able to take less clothes and wash midweek. The only thing which marred what was otherwise a lovely week was something outside of Ian and Vicky's control which was that was a local family who live behind the chalet keep their lovely dog in appalling conditions in a pen near the chalet which was quite upsetting and which I have reported to the French RSPCA equivalent.

Très agréable appartement, très ensoleillé, très propres aux pieds des pistes de ski vraiment idéale avec des enfants. Toute fois il manque un peu de rangement et de matériel de cuisine, un service à raclette serait le bien venu. Par sécurité avec des petits, il serait bien de fermer la partie gauche de l escalier mais ceci dit nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Duplex spacieux et très confortable. On a adoré.

Nous avons passé d’excellentes vacances l’appartement est très chaleureux et extrêmement bien placé à peine 50 mètres des pistes merci à Vicky et son mari de nous avoir laissé les éléments de base pour cuisiner .... il manque juste un porte manteau !!! Encore merci cordialement Deasy Philippe et Elliot
