A good price for a very nice and large apartment with the most beautiful view on the Dents du Midi. Also good to have a summer holiday here. The apartment is complete with an extra fridge and washing machine. Also enough towels, bedding and pillows if you want to use it. The owner, Mr. Worley, is very kind and answers questions quickly over the booking site. We really recommend this apartment!

We had a lovely stay in a very spacious apartent with stunning view. The apartment is well equiped, has more than enough space for at least 6 persons and is situated in a good location, near the slopes, easy ski-in and ski-out.

Great property with stunning views.

The property was just as described in the listing. Very comfortable & the view from the property was stunning. Phil was very helpful & responded immediately to any questions I had. I would definitely recommend this property to others & wouldn't hesitate to return here again if the opportunity came up.

A lovely apartment

We stayed for 3 weeks. A perfect ski in ski out apartment. The village is very quiet, but the skiing makes up for it. The mugs and bowls could do with updating, and you have to be aware that you have to wash the bedlinen and clean for the next person. This was fine for us as it was clean, but it does rely on the party before your stay giving it a good clean. We would stay again.

Lovely early summer stay

We had a great time in Phil's generously sized chalet during the early summer. The place was easy to find and to get into and Phil was always on hand to help out. The chalet is comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. We were only three but could easily imagine a group of six also being comfortable. The location is great with two parking spaces. The views down into the valley are wonderfully relaxing. Nearby towns are easy to get to. An unexpected bonus for us was access to 'multi-passes' for the chair lifts and other local amenities - mini golf, swimming pool etc. As I understand it, these will be available to whomever stays. I thoroughly recommend Phil's place and will be sharing it's details with friends.

Nicer in real life!

We all agreed that the flat was nicer in real life than it seemed to be on the Website. You get a stunning view of the Dents du Midi! If you travel with 8 people like we did mind that two will have to sleep on the couch/matress im the living room / kitchen area. It was okay, but not ideal. Also, there were only 7 duvets in the flat although we booked for 8. Frankly, there was no effective help with that situation. Gladly one of us joined later than planned and was able to bring a sleeping bag – the only reason we had enough stuff to sleep (and not cozily). We visited for one week of skiing in early march. The connection to Les Crosets was closed so we had to take a bus each morning which was allright. However if you want to ski in and out you might want to visit earlier.

It is clearly written in the details of the property that person 7 and 8 have to sleep in the living room so why mention it? Good luck to anyone finding better value in this area for 8 people. Like any ski season there are good and bad snow weeks.

Does what it says on the 'chocolate box'-tin

This is a spacious apartment on the upper floor of a medium-sized chalet-style apartment building. Access is also possible by an elevator. The pictures do the apartment justice. Contact with the owner went very smooth. He reacted to our e-mails within hours. He sent us the key well before our holiday. The apartment suited us fine and having the ease of ski-in ski-out was a true benefit for our group. There were large lockers for skiboots and skis. The bedrooms weren't very large but had enough room in the closets for our stuff. We thought the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The kitchen was also equipped with a microwave-oven and an extra, large, freezer. View from the balcony was indeed breathtaking. Wifi connection was very good! The parking garage was very much appreciated especially with all the snow that fell during our stay. We thought the bathroom with the tub would benefit from a suspension for the shower head and a shower curtain so that it’s possible to take a shower there as well. We had to provide for the end-cleaning ourselves, which puts quite some stress upon the day of departure and also off course there is always the risk that the guests before you don't have the same standards as you have. We'd very much prefer the end-cleaning to be taken care of professionally (and off course we'd pay extra for that). A useful suggestion for future guests is that the little store (a 5 minutes walk up the road, next to the Alpadze Lou Kra hotel) is opened 7/7 from 8:00 - 20:00 and has great fresh bread. They do not sell a lot of other stuff so it's still advised to stock up well before arriving. We thought the personnel in neighbouring restaurant “Le Virage” were quite grumpy when we went to drink some coffee there (they plainly refused to make cappucino even when they had all the equipment to make it) so we didn’t bother eating there. We liked restaurant “Le Poussin” a lot and it’s not much of a walk there (just walk up the road and after you've passed the Alpadze Lou Kra hotel on your right hand, you see a parking lot at your left hand, cross that parking lot and at the end is "Le Poussin": max 10 mins). The skiing area itself is off course very well-known. Off course Champoussin isn't as centrally located as Avoriaz or Les Crosets but the benefit is that there's never a big crowd. All in all this apartment lived up to our expectations and offers good value for money. We’d consider coming back!

Een heerlijk ruim appartement, groter dan het op de foto's leek, echt heel fijn. De balkons zijn heerlijk, altijd 1 schaduwkant met warm weer. Het grote balkon is vakantie op zich, het uizicht op de Dantes dus Midi is echt fantastisch. Wij hopen er nog een keer van te gaan genieten.Met 3 slaapkamers, 2 balkons, 2 badkamers en een ruime woonkamer met open keuken inclusief vaatwasser en wasmachine is het van alle gemakken voorzien. De parkeergarage onderin en de lift in het gebouw, de opslag mogelijkheden voor spullen in kasten op de 2e verdiepingen maken het plaatje compleet.

Prima verblijf. Lekker ruim van binnen. Balkon wel klein en lekker buiten zitten moeilijk. Geen tuinstoelen op balkon. Zeer positief het aanwezig zijn van 6 gratis Multi passen. Hier hebben we veel gebruik van gemaakt. Door lift is weg van auto naar voordeur zeer kort. Ideaal! Kortom een prima vakantie woning en aanbevelingswaardig!

You are the first family in 17 years to say the balcony is small. It is large, the full width of the apartment, and easy to take the chairs out. Also the view from the balcony of the Dents Du Midi is hard to beat.

Schöne Wohnung, aber sehr schmutzig

Der Besitzer ist sehr nett und umgänglich, aber sein System, die Reinigung von den Gästen durchführen zu lassen, funktioniert nicht. Die Wohnung war sehr schmutzig, der Kühlschrank war widerlich, der letzte Gast hatte die Bettwäsche nicht gewaschen, die kaputte Dusche war sehr schmutzig, der Ofen in einem schlechten Zustand... Dieses Problem ist den Leuten im Dorf offenbar bekannt, denn mehrere dieser Kunden haben sich vollgestopft. Die Wohnung ist gut, groß, aber schlecht gepflegt. Das ist schade. Es wäre wirklich nötig, zumindest von Zeit zu Zeit eine Grundreinigung durchzuführen. Aus diesem Grund werden wir nicht wiederkommen, denn wir mussten die Wohnung mit vier Personen zwei Stunden lang putzen, bevor wir uns einrichten konnten. wirklich Schade.

This Family suffered from the thoughtless actions of the previous family who broke the shower without telling me and left dirty washing on the floor. I immediately banned the previous family from coming again. Fortunately most Families are great and have kept the place well since 2008, you can see the many 5 star reviews here for yourself. Hence I have kept prices very reasonable and you won't find better value in champoussin. If you expect perfection please stay in an Hotel and pay their prices.

Immer wieder schön!

Ich bin jetzt zum 4. Mal bei Phil Worley gewesen und es ist jedes Mal traumhaft. Die Lage des Appartements ist der Knaller; direkt an der Piste und der morgendliche Blick auf den Dents de Midi ist unbezahlbar. Die Ausstattung könnte etwas moderner sein und der Fernseher etwas größer, aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau. Gerne immer wieder.

Wunderbare Wohnung in einer fantastischen Umgebung!

Wir haben als Familie mit Kindern und Jugendlichen eine wunderbare Skiferienwoche in der heimeligen Wohnung von Phil verbracht. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und hat (ausser Fondueeinrichtung) alles, was man braucht. Die Gegend ist einfach fantastisch! Und von der Wohnung ist man direkt im Skigebiet! Herrlich!
