We were made incredible welcome by the owners and whilst they spoke little English and we spoke little French it didn’t stop their hospitality. They even took the time to ski with us and show us the best runs in the ski area. The main reason we came here was to ski and the ski areas of Gran Bornand and Chinaillon were easily accessible by ski bus (10 mins max) if you want to take the car, parking is free. The village centre is also an easy walk and has a number of shops ( small supermarket and gift shops)and bars/ restaurants; one restaurant is Michelin star rated. The location is also close to Other ski areas including Manigod and La Clusaz, which are worth a ski but there is plenty of slopes in Grand Bornand/ Chinaillon for the novice/ intermediate skier. We also used the ESF ski school, who were brilliant in their teaching style and their English language.
The chalet/ apartment is well presented and has all you need for a self-catering holiday. We are so surprised more English people have not found this place. We would certainly stay here again.
Thank you Olivier and Vivian
