~ Christmas 2010

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, 3^rd 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

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for making sure we all had a fabulous ski holiday, everyone had a superb time, the chalet, the food the atmosphere, the slopes and the weather were just perfect.

Congratulations on such a winning team and product.

Lots of love Karen & Ted Williams  ~  January 18th 2009

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Simon, Richard, Alice, Ben, Ellie and of course yourself for making our recent stay at your chalet such an enjoyable and relaxing one.We had a fantastic holiday and found the chalet to be very comfortable and child friendly. The food was superb and it was a real shock to come home and have to think about cooking again ! Thank you for organising the ski lessons and child care you made it a very easy holiday and we hope we can return again next year. Enjoy the rest of the season.

Karen, Hugo, Ben, Mia & Max ~ 30th March 2008

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

Just wanted to let you know we arrived home safely after a wonderful week with you last week.

We all had an absolutely fantastic time, the chalet and Rich and Alice along with Ben and Ellie were all brilliant and far better than our greatest expectations.

Harry had a marvellous time and really enjoyed mixing with the other Children. All in all we were very sad to leave

Many Thanks again, Mark, Debbie and Harry Newcombe -  ~ 18 Feb 2008

You all made us feel very welcome and at home and we couldn’t have asked for more.

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.
