Hot Tub
One of our best loved features here at Chalet Le Panoramic is our truly authentic woodfired hot tub!
- Our guests absolutley adore soaking in the hot tub after a hard day on the piste!
- We usually light the fire early in the morning so it’s just right for you when you come back to the chalet.
- The hot tub sits proudly on our magnificent sun deck and overlooks the piste.
- “There’s nothing quite like sipping on a cold beer and talking over the days skiing with other guests”
Ski directly to the chalet door to be greeted by our heated boot room, out of boots and dash to your room for a quick shower, don your robe (provided) and make your way to the lounge, perhaps requesting a beer at the bar en-route!
Stop for a brief chat by the roaring fire (some guests are reclining, absorbing the beautiful village views) before stepping out onto the deck, hang up your robe and step into that gorgeous hot water, the traditional wood built tub feels great as you rest your head against it, smell the tinge of burnt pine wood air and the crispness of the evening coming in, the piste is still a blur of skiers and makes for entertaining viewing while you chat with your loved one who has joined you.
A member of the snowlife team comes out to stoke up the fire and offer you another drink, your muscles unwind and you begin to thoroughly relax.
What ever next? Canapes at the bar? Four course evening meal by candle light? Free bar? Thoughts of another day skiing from the chalet door?

Thank you so much we have had a fantastic time, a swanky set up with slick service. The food was superb and the bar service was far too efficient. I shall miss my Kir-O’clock at six! Relly can’t fault the place, everything is just perfect, we’ll be back!
~ The Bullman family, 3rd April 2010
The Chalet is beautiful and Ben, Ellie, Richard & Alice are a fantastic team. I’m definitely going to be attempting some of the delicious recipes although I’m sure my cooking won’t be anywhere near as mouthwatering!
Kelly ~ 1st March 2009
Lisa, all the pre-holiday arranging you did was truly appreciated and without it we would have floundered so thank you for your patience. As for the holiday itself; the welcome and the tremendous hospitality that you, Richard, Alice, Ben, Ellie, Molly and Jack bestowed on us was way beyond the call of duty and was core to how much we enjoyed ourselves. Judy was a real star to accommodate our revised childcare needs at the last minute.
Thank you.
Gaya Barnes and family – 26th February 2009.
Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you all again for making our holiday last week so fantastic. We had an awesome time and, whilst of course the snow had something to do with it, the chalet was absolutely perfect. Everything slotted into place and it was spot-on for what we needed.
I said it all in the Visitor’s Book, but I just loved every aspect of the chalet and what you do. The food was amazing and it is really awful to have to come back to shopping, thinking up ideas for meals, cooking, and clearing up again! The kids loved their special teas – every meal was one of our kids’ favourites!
Caroline, Gary, Lucy and George ~ 16th Feb 2009
A huge thank you for looking after us so well last week – we all had such a good time. The food, chalet, location were just perfect. And, please Richard add some more recipes to the web site! Particularly the wonderful feta bread we had on Friday evening. Hope very much to come back again.
Jenny ~ 1st Feb 2009

Corinne, Oscar, Anya and I had a fabulous time last week, despite the bruises. We loved the chalet, the staff, the food and drink, the location and the company… couldn’t fault it, and we’ll definitely be back soon. I’ve got slight withdrawal symptoms from skiing and cheese!
~ 26 Feb 2008
We had a lovely week and please pass on our thanks to Alice, Richard, Ben and Ellie, who we thought were really special and worked so very hard and always with a smile no matter how tired they were or how demanding we were. Thanks also to you and Simon, you are the experts in providing wonderful holidays, no wonder we keep coming back!
Alice ~ 18th Feb 2008

Chalet le Panoramic is everyday china and elbows on the table. It’s earthy, not fussy, easy, not painstaking. Our cooking is no nonsense soul satisfying cuisine.
Fabulous Chalet Panoramic !
The fabulous family ski holiday destination ~ La Clusaz!
Situated on La Clusaz’ principal piste, Chalet Le Panoramic boasts the most prestigious location in La Clusaz, Aravis. With breath taking views of the winter mountain range and the entire village (which is a pleasant five minutes walk away) the whole family is able to ski to and from the chalet door to no less than five ski lifts; beginners button lift, two cable cars and two chair lifts which place you directly onto any of the numerous superb slopes.
What gives Chalet Le Panoramic the edge is individuality, and personal attention to detail. This lies at the heart of the chalet where Simon and Lisa and their team, can often be found cooking up delights in the state of the art kitchen. Or tending the roaring fire, manning the bar, or readying the hot tub for guests after a day skiing on the wonderful slopes of La Clusaz in the French Alps.
Family Ski Holidays
A fabulous family ski holiday to remember…
Fabulous catered Chalet Le Panoramic’s emphasis is on you and your family’s winter ski holiday. It goes without saying that our snow chalet is absolutely perfect for children and those all important first family ski holidays!
Having two of their own… Molly and Jack (10 and 6) Simon and Lisa know exactly what a parent and child would like and need from their mountain ski holiday and indeed how important holidays are to people.
Skiing with children doesn’t, by any means, need to be difficult. Simon, Lisa and their staff will do all they can to make your family ski holiday as easy and hassle free as possible. The easiness of the chalet being on the main piste is superb!
Fabulous Chalet Le Panoramic is open, airy and very safe (both inside and out).
Children under 12 are discounted at a 150 euros off the adult holiday price.
