Quite small, but with an amazing location and facilities. Be aware of hidden charges.
The owners were very accommodating, especially as we had some problems with our transfers from the Airport to the Chalet, they even waited up until 3am! The chalet is quite small but has everything you need including a filter coffee machine (great for those first lift mornings). It is but a stones throw away from both the centre of town (4min walk) and the lifts (4-6 min walk depending on if you’re in ski boots). There can sometimes be a little problem with noise up until around 2am (later on weekends) due to being relatively close above the open bars.
The bathroom definitely gets a shout-out, specifically the shower! It is. Amazing. The best NYD hangover shower I’ve ever had! Though the toilet being rather small is a bit of a downer, but that is very minor.
All this is good, but just be aware of a few charges that are not listed on the booking (as of 08 Jan 19)
There is a tourist tax in France, as well as charged for rental of Bed Linen, Towels and also if on checkout you don’t want to self clean, there is a cleaning charge.
Also, the double bed is a Sofa bed, which mind is quite comfortable, but that is just for you to be aware.
I don’t say all this to put you off, but for you to just be aware so that you have no surprises whilst on your holiday. The chalet itself is great, as are the hosts.
Hopefully the owners will be able to make these options upon booking so that it can all be done through Home&Away beforehand as to have complete transparency and easily traced.
Apart from that, would definitely recommend those small groups (2-4) planning on visiting Champagny-en-Vanoise to use this chalet. 3.5/5.
