Apartment Chamois Blanc 2B

This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. We were there just after Christmas, with the decorations still up, and it felt absolutely magical.

The location was sensational and the staff were amazingly helpful. Brilliant favourites, and unbelievable value for money. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

The apartment was noisy, with paper-thin walls. Smoke from neighbours came in through the window vents and internal ventilation system. There were parties in several apartments on most nights, so we had to sleep on the sofas to get away from the loudest side. It's a good location for the bus station, and the centre of cham is about 10 minutes away. The ski shop attached to the building was really nice and helpful.

Getting around was easy: the ski bus and Aguile Du Midi are well placed, with a Spar and a few places to eat nearby. The town centre is about a ten-minute walk. The apartment felt far too cramped for four, and neither sofa bed was comfortable. Bring a hairdryer and your own towels, since there wasn't a hairdryer and the towels supplied were tiny. Before the trip, the property sent plenty of emails, but my questions got no replies. I also booked equipment through them at a discounted rate, only to find they'd reserved the wrong dates, so I lost a day. For the one day we rented from the company connected to the property, the gear was cheaper and better.
