Reviews

We had a fantastic week, everything was perfect and exactly what we were looking for: the standards and service of Club Med, but without the crowds or the excess! The resort was excellent; both the children and we loved skiing and going for walks. The hotel was perfect, and the suite was wonderful. The restaurants were outstanding. The agency, service, and organization were extremely professional, thank you again for everything.

The hotel was very nice ! We have no complaint. All of our guides were wonderful ! We really enjoyed our hiking experiences with Alban and Vincent - they were both so kind. Aude was incredibly informative on the walking tour of Annecy! We would also love to give a shoutout to Didier who was the nicest driver and made sure to take us through the scenic routes and just made sure it was a really enjoyable experience for us. Whatsapp Group - this was great! It was super helpful getting a rundown of what was coming each day and who our guide was for each activity. Thank you again for everything ! We really had an amazing trip.
