Chalet Testimonials
We had a great time. Thank you. Tennis, swimming outdoor and indoor, lots of mountain biking, rafting (the boys loved that). Finn swam the length of Lac de Montriond with Theo and I on a canoe as a safety boat.

We had a great time. Thank you. Tennis, swimming outdoor and indoor, lots of mountain biking, rafting (the boys loved that). Finn swam the length of Lac de Montriond with Theo and I on a canoe as a safety boat. And Theo and I cycled down from the Col de Bassachaux to Linga without a breath. Janet and I are bruised, scratched and exhausted.
We loved Châtel in the summer. The colour. The light. And the gentler pace of life. We really felt we got to know the village better. Right down to comparing Pain Tradition between the two boulangeries.

Thanks again for an amazing week. I so enjoyed it all. You always make the week so special and look after us really well. The skiing was brilliant, and as ever, chalet staff great and Dino’s food is fantastic.

Many many thanks for yet another lovely week in La Chaumiere. I feel you must always want to sleep for a week by the time we OCS-ers leave you; you care for us all so well and generously.
And thank you especially for making me feel so well looked after. It’s a much better treatment than I get at home!! You spoil me, and your constant good nature and charm as always make the week very special.

I especially wanted to say thanks for ensuring Jacob felt included and that he had a good week too. Not only did he seem to love skiing, he actually looked like he was beginning to make progress – thanks so, so much! He loved the whole experience and hasn’t stopped talking about you

Just a quick email to say thanks so so much for such an amazing week with you in Chatel!
I can honestly say, I’ve never had so much fun on the slopes and then felt so at home back in the chalet and that’s a total credit to you and the amazing team. Please pass on all my thanks to Rob, Bonnie and Deano – special mention for the amazing vegetarian food!
Also, thanks for being so amazing with Jacob on the slopes and for getting him on his skis and crocodiling/caking so well. He’s genuinely not stopped talking about the week and how much he enjoyed it!

It has been pretty full-on since my return but I am lying here thinking about what I have just done. I met you 12 years ago and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching me the skills to have come down the side of that mountain. Your patience and encouragement have given me a skill that I treasure and one I wish only to improve whilst my physique holds up.

Jacqui and I had a wonderful week. Huge thanks to you, Kathryn and your team for always making it special for Jacqui and me at La Chaumiere!. It is the combination of the fabulous accommodation, great food, terrific people and of course the skiing that makes it so good. As I have said before, what you have created here is unique, very personal and hugely enjoyable. And on top of that, our skiing is getting better because of your persistence and patience (and some goading) with us – at least we think our skiing is getting better! We are certainly enjoying our skiing very much which is probably the most important thing.
