Guest feedback for this chalet

We had a fantastic stay with Ski Basics and thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a catered chalet ski holiday. The chalet, food, and service was fantastic. Miri, Jess, Phoebe, and the team looked after us really well and made sure we had a great holiday.

Lowri Jenkins - January, 2023

The hosts were brilliant, super accommodating and friendly, great energy and created a relaxed and charming environment in the chalet.

Guy Dawson - January, 2022

I honestly can not find anything that does not deserve an ‘excellent’. We could not have had better chalet and hosts. Credit to everyone!

Tracy Kett - December, 2021

Will, Izzy and James were all absolutely fantastic, Drivers Tom, Danny and Fergus all punctual, courteous and helpful, they were all lovely and simply could not have done more to make our holiday any better. Ski Basics are lucky to have them all.

Always a fantastic stay. Hosts were amazing and the food was brilliant. Izzy and Will could not be more welcoming - they were great. Chalet was always super clean and warm and felt like home.

Julian Shine - Christmas, 2019

We had a fabulous week. The chalet was lovely with excellent facilities. Our hosts exceeded our expectations in every way and couldn't do enough to make our stay extremely enjoyable. The transport to and from the slopes was really efficient and flexible. You ticked all our boxes in every way.

Julie Seward - January, 2019

The formula works for us. The staff are all personable and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We’ve had a really enjoyable week and will definitely book with you again. Thank you.

Alan Morgan - January, 2019

Min and Jo were the most amazing chalet hosts. They were both so cheerful and friendly and made us feel so welcome. And the food was just amazing. Top marks girls!

Liz Harris - February 11, 2018

Our hosts were really lovely, nothing was too much trouble ever. Our glasses were constantly topped, food plentiful and all small requests were never an issue. They even found time to ‘colour’ with our two girls... the girls wanted to take them home! They made our week. Thank you ladies.
