If you want some precious memories in a magical, luxurious, homely chalet, this is your stop. The skiing is simply a bonus. We first went to Chalet La Moraine in 2016, due to a good friend’s recommendation. We heard that it was a gorgeous chalet, sleeping ten people with five bathrooms, a hot tub and a sauna. We arrived and it was magical! When the snow is falling and the fire is burning and the coffee machine is on, there is simply nowhere better. Our family of six is unbelievably jammy to have been twice now. (At risk of sounding very sad, barely a day goes by without one of us reminiscing about a favourite moment there.) The whole place is a gift, it’s so delightful. Skiing is great - at Cormayeur through the mountain (£50 through the tunnel so not cheap but gorgeous views and delicious Italian food). Or locally at Les Houches - perfect for intermediate and beginner skiining. Family passes allow cheaper rates for larger families so we loved that aspect. The owners recommended a ski rental place where they have an arrangement for good prices. There are only two drawbacks: 1) that we can’t go more often, and don’t really want to go anywhere else, and, 2), it’s so supremely comfy in the chalet, we don’t always want to venture away from it and into the mountains.
Genuinely, the chalet is top drawer. The owners are very friendly. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this hidden gem. Words can barely describe its delights. It might be a cliché, but, simply, it is; *The best*!!
