We stayed at the chalet "Diane" in 'Les Chalets de l'Altiport' from 21 jan till 28 jan 2012. Chalet Diane is a 14 - 16 persons chalet with balcony and a garage.
This wasn't our first chalet we rented in France and we were all very pleased with the level of comfort and, above all, the very spacious living room. At arrival the chalet was very tidy (this hasn't always been the case in other chalets we've rented elsewhere).
The arrangement of the rooms could have been slightly better I suppose. There were 2 large (1 of them being "very large") and 2 rather small rooms. The other ones were of a normal size. In the bedrooms on the bottom floor there were no lights but this problem was very quickly resolved.
The chalet 'Diane' is located next to the reception and from the slopes one can ski right into the chalet! I'm not joking! In the morning when you start your skiingday, it only takes 15 meters to reach the slope to the 'Quartier Bergers' from where the whole 'Grand Domaine' can be reached.
If you are looking for a "next to the bars and shop" accomodation, then search elsewhere. The chalet is located at about a 20minute walk from the 'Quartiers Bergers' (with shops and bars etc) and even further from the town center. This shouldn't be a big problem however since there are free busses from and to the town center.
We usually took our own car when we went après-skiing or grocery shopping.
Every morning there's a freshly baked bread delivery right at your chalet front door.
Which is very convenient!
A major dissapointment however was the lack of a WIFI-network. It is 2012 after all. And I clearly wasn't the only one in the hamlet complaining about this.
I must however give a thumbs up to Romain, the caretaker, who was very helpfull and understanding. He did more than his job required him to do and was always very helpfull. I was honestly dissapointed about the lack of WIFI and I suppose it will be installed within the next months. Be sure to buy a pre-paid mobile broadband modem in case WIFI hasn't been installed yet.
All in all, this was a very nice accomodation and I recommend it highly.
We already talked about going back since we were so pleased (IF they'll install WIFI).
Considering the resort, considering the price, considering the location, considering all the other chalets we already rented in the past; I'd say : Don't hesitate, rent this chalet (Diane).
And say hello to Romain :-)
Room Tip: There are 2 very large bedrooms. Be sure to be the first to arrive and to get them. ;-)
