We stayed here last March (2010) and loved it so much we came back again with friends for 5 fantastic days. We ski in many different parts of Europe but as I write the snow conditions are very poor throughout much of it. Chamonix, being very high, has good snow and the added bonus of being able to pop through the Mont Blanc tunnel to ski in Courmayeur. Its the perfect last minute destination for Spring 2011.
Neil is an amazing chef and our meals were of extremely high quality with wonderful local ingredients. The added bonus is, he welcomes you to sit and watch him cook - so free cooking lessons! Kate, thier chalet maid, is a really super girl and happily taxied us about to the different ski areas each day - always being on time. The highlight of probably our skiing life, must be skiing down the Vallee Blanche - one of the best ski runs in the world. It should be on every skiers "must do in my life" list - absolutely awesome! Neil and our professional guide Stuart looked after us perfectly.
Neil and Julie are the perfect hosts, they really made us feel like old friends and nothing is too much trouble for them. We cant wait to go again, not sure we can wait until next year. . . .!
