Great Chalet
This chalet was perfect for us, we were 4 children and 4 adults. The property was really well equipped, the kitchen had everything you could need.
The owner is so helpful, she helped with our ski hire, gave recommendations of where to ski, ski schools and general information on the area.
The resort was perfect for children learning to ski, the ski instructors (ESF) were great. Itâs a lovely little resort. There wasnât masses of snow whilst we were there, perfect for the lessons but we headed to ChĂątel (5mins away) for the afternoons and the skiing was great there.

Fantastic home from home
We had an absolutely delightful 2 weeks during August in this lovely chalet. It felt like a home rather than 'just another rental property'. Well-furnished and obviously loved by the owners with all the day-to-day appliances and utensils you might need. All the bedrooms were a decent size with two having wonderful south-facing balcony views across the valley and to the mountains in the east. The sitting/dining/kitchen space was great with plenty of seating space for everyone around both the dining table and TV/Fireplace and with great access to the south-facing balcony and patio with 2 outdoor seating/dining spaces, one in the shade (west) and another in the sun (east).
A supermarket is just a short drive away and there are plenty of places to eat out just a short walk down the hill. There is no shortage of wonderful walks/hikes for all abilities directly from the chalet or within a half-hour drive.
We loved the chalet and Irene (the owner) was easy to contact, attentive, and lovely to deal with. Thanks Irene, we had a great summer holiday, wish we could have stayed longer.

Great property, just as advertised. Excellent lounge, dining kitchen area - enough for double our family size. Bedrooms all of a good size, we only used 2 out of the 4, so plenty of room for a large family.
Chalet was very clean and had everything we needed for weeks holiday.
Great location close to ski here , good restaurants and great views over the valley.
Easy access (by car) to local slopes but we drove to main Chatel car park to access Chatel / Avoriaz slopes.
Owner Irene - great at communication, provided everything / all information required. Was available on Whatsapp, answered immediately, very friendly / helpful and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok - no problems at all.
Highly recommend ! - i rarely write a review but wanted to share.

Well equipped chalet, ideal for families
We stayed at Irene's chalet with two small kids. The chalet is beautiful. Much larger than seen in the photos. It has an ideal lay-out, with one large bedroom on the ground floor and three others on the second floor. We had everything we needed and more for a holiday with two babies: two high chairs, one baby cot, a baby changing area with its own sink, and a fully equipped kitchen.
The chalet is pretty close to the center of La Chapelle d'Abondance (five minute walking distance, a bit longer on the way back as it is uphill) which has a few good restaurants and a bakery. The closest supermarket is about 5-10 minute drive away and it is best to drive to one of the more central lifts to have immediate access to the heart of Portes du Soleil. We drove to Pre la Joux lift, which took us about 15-20 minutes.
Communication with Irene was very good. She has gotten in touch with us long before our holiday and has given us a lot of information upfront. She also has checked in on us during our stay. As everything worked very well, we didn't need any on site assistance, but if needed there is also a local manager who can help.
All in all, it has been a great holiday in a beautiful chalet and we would certainly be back when we are in Portes du Soleil area again.

Een super Chalet met alles er op en er aan!
Samen met gezin 3 kinderen hun partners en kleinkind enorm genoten. Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, liften vlakbij en prachtig skigebied. Genoten van het balkon met zon en sneeuwzicht in maart. Fijne keuken, heerlijk grote eettafel en ook fijne zithoek. Bedden prima geslapen. De gezinskamer beneden is super. Kortom een zeer fijne vakantie genoten.

Chalet tell you a tale of our time in Chapelle d'Abondance?
We stayed here as a group of friends for our New Years get together and had a great time.
Location is great for skiing. Possible to walk to nearby ski areas depending on snow level and Chatel is only a short drive away and seemingly good in all conditions. The town of La Chapelle dâAbondance is only a 5 minute walk down the hill and the nearby restaurant of Fer Rouge perfect for evening drinks and snacks, with the restaurant brilliant for a lavish evening meal. The dog sledding nearby was greatly enjoyed as a unique experience and being able to see them along the valley from the chalet balcony was a lovely morning sight.
Most days we ate in the chalet, the kitchen was well equipped, easy to use, and large enough to prepare meals for 7 comfortably. The whole chalet was well equipped with plenty of seating and space for our group. The fridge / freezer is quite small, so if you plan to bring more than a few days worth of supplies itâs best to keep that in mind.
Those who arrived first had no complaints about the check-in procedure. I arrived quite late, and would have struggled to find the chalet in the dark if it werenât for my friends having already arrived coming out to show us where to go. The only negative point for the whole experience would be the difficulty of finding it in the dark.
Communication with the property manager was perfect, quick responses, proactively checked everything was correct on arrival, and even left a little welcome gift.
Highly Recommend, 5*s
We had a lovely family holiday in La Chapelle dâAbondance. The chalet is in a fantastic location with view on the mountains and sun from morning to evening. Various scenic mountain walks are within easy reach as well as other activities such as mountain biking, rafting, parachuting etc
The chalet is spacious, traditional style and well equipped. Can absolutely be recommended for a family holiday!
The owners are very friendly and helpful and easy to contact in preparation of and during the stay
Thank you!

We were very happy with the chalet, it was perfect for our stay for two families with a small child each, plus a couple of friends. The chalet is very nice and comfortable, well located, with a good view. The ski du fond area of La Chapelle is right in front, which is very convenient. Ski areas are a short drive, but of course were closed during our stay due to COVID.
The chalet is well equipped, especially the kitchen. Heating is excellent, including under-floor heating. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area is great. Parking is good as well. We have no complaints at all, highly recommend this chalet. The owner was pleasant and communication was good. Merci!
Het is een mooi ruim en licht ingericht chalet van alle gemakken voorzien. We kregen een warm en persoonlijk welkom. Vanaf het chalet kan je direct gaan wandelen. Ook de winkeltjes en restaurantjes zijn op loopafstand. Het meer van Geneve is binnen een uur bereikbaar. Bij terugkomst kun je van de bergen genieten op een van de terrassen.
