From the moment my plane touched down in Hayden till i was dropped off again (by the attentive and friendly chalet staff) I felt totally welcomed and truly able to relax and enjoy my stay. nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and the chalet staff. They were happy to help with the organisation of the lift passes, ski school, equipment hire and even helped to arrange numerous extra activities for myself and my children.
the chalet was luxurious, warm, comfortable, fully equipped with everything one would wish to have at home and also totally child friendly. My kids loved the games room and the state of the art muti media entertainment sytem (not to mention the outdoor activities provided by the "tubing run" that skirted the side of the chalet!)
I looked forward to every meal, snack and gourmet delight that the talented chef rustled up knowing that there would be superb skiing conditions the following day to ensure that I didn't outgrow my skisuit!! (the snow was truly awesome this year with more powder days than I have ever thought possible on one holiday) plus i knew that if I overdid the skiing then the relief of the soothing hot tub would enable me to be able to walk the next day...if that wasn't enough then the trip to the natural hot springs and the expertise of the masseuse made sure that i slept well.
I certainly plan to return next season. My only reservation about writing this review is that by sharing this "all-expectations- exceeded" holiday I may have problems with availability in the future!
