Résidence Les Chalets de la Ramoure

We had a nice quiet week, with plenty of space in the car park. The snow track was only 20 meters from the residence, which was a big plus. The pool and sauna were great extras, and the kids loved them. Getting to the centre meant dealing with a lot of stairs, though.

For families especially, this is a lovely resort. The slope is right in front of the residence, everything was clean and worked, including the sauna and pool, and everyone was very helpful. It's not a five star hotel, but for the price it was fantastic.

The location is the real winner: you can put on your skis and head straight out. There are ski equipment lockers in the basement, which is very handy, and the apartments have a full kitchen setup, including a dishwasher, stove and oven, with what you need for a week. They are small and cramped, though, and this is a low budget place. The pool and sauna close on Wednesday and Saturday, and on weekdays they are open for only 2.5 hours. Bring your own bedding and towels or expect to pay extra. For the price, it's perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay. The one thing that needs improvement is the ski lockers downstairs. They aren't heated, so our boots got wet and were hard to put on. Ski boots are plastic and really uncomfortable to pull on when they're cold. I hope they get the basement heating working next time.
