The Chalet was superb far better than I was expecting as was the surrounding area. I chose to stay in Les Contamines-Montjoie whilst on a trail running holiday as I felt it would be quieter than Chamonix where the race was organised. Upon arrival after flying from England we were met by a lovely lady called Sonia who showed us around the property and explained how various appliances worked as well as providing some basic provisions to assist us until the local shops opened the following day. The chalet was incredibly clean and in a fantastic location surrounded by mountains and a very short walk from the main village which was perfect for my family as the location gave us a very relaxing environment. When we went to the village the following day we were pleasantly surprised by all there was to do with many local restaurants available and lots of nice walks in the surrounding area especially if you made use of the cable cars to go higher up in the mountains.
We stayed in Les Contamines-Montjoie for just over a week and had a lovely time there, very relaxing and refreshed ready to get back to the real world where I have to work for a living. I am hoping to return again in the future to show friends and family how nice the area and chalet are that I kept describing each night when I rang them. Apologies to the many French families for not writing the review in your own language but having only basic knowledge of the language from my school days I did not want to lose the description of the chalet and surrounding area in the wonders of Google translate.
