Les Jardins de la Balme

Just returned from a stay in Chalet Madeleine. Excellent holiday and excellent chalet. Don't let the reviews below deter you. They were all written before the current company managing the chalet took over and are not representative at all. I of course queried these reviews with the company before booking and everything was as promised. Highly recommend.

We just got back from our trip to Chalet Bellevarde with Le Ski. It was fantastic. Joash and Chessie were our chalet staff and they did a brilliant job at looking after us all. They were mid-twenties and it really made a difference having slightly more mature chalet staff as they were very sensible and hard working. They did a great job cooking kids tea for our children and were very accommodating at making little changes to the menu and routines to try to suit everyone's needs in the chalet. They even got hold of Monopoly for our boys to play together. The chalet rooms were nice. Our balconies were south facing and a great place to enjoy the view and the sunny weather. Val Pizza was a 3 min walk away which provided a great option on the chalet staff's two nights off. The catering was great. The chalet was nice and warm. The kitchen was an integral part of the sitting room/dining room area and it made it feel very sociable. The chalet staff transferred the baggage from the coach at the start of the trip and back onto the coach at the end of the trip which saved us from lugging it all up the hill to the chalet. I had been worried that the chalet was a bit far from the slopes but the ski bus went from the bottom of the hill and was very regular so it wasn't a problem. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday with Le Ski. They seem to be a great company who look after their staff and their guests really well and we would definitely book with them again.
