“Really Good, would definitely go back”

Over New year 2022, my family (2 adults 2 teens) stayed here with 2 other families of similar ages. We went with Heidi the company and the provided us with transfer, (2.5 hrs from Geneva) so did not have to worry about parking although it didn't seem too busy.

Over New year 2022, my family (2 adults 2 teens) stayed here with 2 other families of similar ages. We went with Heidi the company and the provided us with transfer, (2.5 hrs from Geneva) so did not have to worry about parking although it didn't seem too busy. The actual apartment was good, we had a double bed room for us and then the kids slept on the sofa beds which where surprisingly comfy! The apartment was pretty small with a toilet room, shower and sink room, bedroom, small kitchen (dishwasher yet no oven) and dining room lounge. There are 2 buildings, we where 2 families in 1 and 1 in the other. In one there was a nice restaurant (really friendly waiters) and the pool. The pool was only open from about 4-7 I think and not open on Saturdays. The pool was outside and the air was freezing so made you cold, however the water temperature was warm, you couldn't stay in there for long. The apartment has its own locker room which gets quite busy, and the lockers are pretty small! It then leads onto a blue run, although you have to walk a bit as the snow was starting to melt by those areas, but ok. We had 2 beginner children who absolutely freaked on that run and found it really hard as it is quite busy and steep, so would not recommend for beginners. The blur is quite short and leads to the main lift which takes you up to the top or you can go to the other side. The town is quite a walk, so be prepared. There is an elevator but only for the last stairs. Be warned, when collecting your skis and boots, it is a very hard walk! Little supermarket in minutes walk but more in town and above. Overall it was a great skiing holiday, and for such a bargain!

“Good and bad”

We stopped over new year's eve week. We were expecting it to be busy but the parking for the hotel was horrendous.

We stopped over new year's eve week. We were expecting it to be busy but the parking for the hotel was horrendous. We arrived early in the evening and parking was already starting to become impossible. We managed to find a space and went to check in only to be told we needed to drive further up the resort to some other buildings. Because even though you book a room in the thabor you could actually be in one of several other buildings it would seem. After driving to the top of the resort to our building parking was full. I dropped my wife and child off with the bags as close as I could then spent well over an hour driving up and down the resort to find a space. Which was further away then if we had just stayed where we were when we checked in at the thabor. As for the room we had one of the largest rooms for 3 of us so there was plenty of room but if it was filled to capacity it would be very cramped, kitchen was very basic. The bathrooms were a bit cramped and the beds were uncomfortable. The view from the balcony of the slopes was amazing. I loved being able to ski in and out too. The ski locker set up was one of the best we've had as well it felt secure enough and plenty of space allocated to each apartment.

“Perfect location but in desperate need of modernization!!”

The resort was perfectly located on the side of the piste, with ski in and ski out boot room. However, the apartment was very outdated and desperately needed refreshing.

The resort was perfectly located on the side of the piste, with ski in and ski out boot room. However, the apartment was very outdated and desperately needed refreshing. The kitchen was cramped and missing some implements. If you had the max amount of people staying in the apartment that it was advertised for you really would have struggled! The double bed was two singles pushed together, a double duvet supplied but only a single duvet cover! Such a shame as it has so much potential but needs some money spending to make it feel more like a homely chalet like others I have stayed in before.

“The worst client service in the French Alps”

Despite the perfect location, the service is very poor, I would even say the worst I have ever seen:1. No heating in the bedroom (it did not work).2. Bathroom flush problems (reception did not fix it after 3 notices made during the 7-day stay).3. Dust on each table and chair means that cleaning i... more

Despite the perfect location, the service is very poor, I would even say the worst I have ever seen:1. No heating in the bedroom (it did not work).2. Bathroom flush problems (reception did not fix it after 3 notices made during the 7-day stay).3. Dust on each table and chair means that cleaning is not performed properly.4. Windows are not hyrmetic - hence, wind always blew inside the main room.5. Sauna is subject to payment and additional booking which is weird. Guest shall be well-informed on such conditions in advance - but there is no such info on the website and at check-in desk receptionist do not give any advise on that. Moreover, the decision whether to attend sauna or not is usually taken after the ski-day depending on muscles conditions.
