Guests Comments
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!!!
Many Thank, Kelly…1st March 2009 I miss being there already!!! Hopefully we will be seeing you all again.
Sorry for the delay in writing to you, we had an excellent journey back but getting back to routine has proved very difficult and not surprising after the amazing holiday we have just had.
It had been my aspiration to organise a ski holiday for my friends and family for a long time but my total lack of organisational skills meant that it was always an unaccomplished feat. That is until Lisa so wonderfully guided and actually just got on and sorted it all out for us. 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. You have an amazing eye for detail and we were not left wanting for anything. Thank you.
Judy was a real star to accommodate our revised childcare needs at the last minute. You have attracted very capable and willing staff that were only to eager to please; we even enjoyed Ben’s fabulous musical talent one evening. As you know many of our party were those who had not skied before, they are all smitten with the activity. However I fear the combination of the amazing skiing conditions and the luxury and ambience (particularly its homeliness) of the chalet have spoilt them all for their future experiences…

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 over the rest is individuality and personal attention to detail, this lies at the heart of the chalet where the owners, Simon and Lisa and their team of four, can often be found cooking up delights in their state of the art kitchen, tending the roaring fire, manning the bar or readying the chalets hot tub ready for you after a day skiing on the wonderful slopes of La Clusaz in the French Alps.
