Just got back from a great week at Chantel 1 in a superior 2 bed apartment. This is the third P&V apartment we've stayed in, while the others were adequate this was a completely different experience. The apartment was excellent, lots of room and well fitted out. It was a duplex with lovely wooden sloping ceilings which added to the... More

We stayed 2 weeks at Chantel 2 in mid Jan 2012 - perfect low season timing if you can take holidays then - the prices are at their lowest and you aren't sharing the facilities with hordes of others. Luckily our taxi driver waited while we checked if we had the right building as it would have been a long... More

We stayed at Le Refuge Montagnard in Les Arcs 1950. There were four of us in a chalet for 4-6 people. It was a great base for some great skiing. The accommodation was clean, well presented and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped although our chalet contained a dishwasher rather than an oven (other chalets contained an over rather than...

I am really angry with Pierre & Vacances for many reasons: When I booked 4 months before I travelled, I wanted to be in Les Alpages 1 and to ensure that this happened I phone their office as soon as my booking was confirmed to request block 1 - this was apparently noted by their Paris Office. A week before... More

Just back from a week at Alpages de Chantel in Les Arcs 1800. Beautifully decorated apts with a fab resturant on site with the most welcoming staff. However the same could not be said about the only one pub on site which was next door. The town could only be reached by shuttle bus or on foot which made it... More

Returned last weekend from a wonderful holiday in Les Arcs. 3m of snow and a week of sunshine :-) We stayed at les alpages de chantel, a 5 star premium resort from pierre et vacances. We were a bit weary when we heared the residence was owned by p&v, because mosty they rent typical french studio's which are mostly very... More

Stayed for a week over new-year. Excellent skiing (but just enough snow at resort level) and excellet apartment. Particularily like the pedestrian only nature of the resort and good selsection of bars and restruants. Only complaint is the swimming pools - each block doesn't have one (but you can walk through underground car-park if you don't want to venture outside)... More

This Alpages de Chantel is made up by 2 largish buildings, the main one being the highest on the mountain flank. That highest one has a ski rental shop, 2 restaurants and a spa. That spa can be enjoyed free of charge by the residents, and I have found it very refreshing after a long day on the slopes (massages... More

I have just returned having spent a week in a 3 bedroomed appartment at Chantel 2. There were 5 of us and this was perfect. You would struggle with 8 as it reportedly caters for, but then that is the case with all appartments where you would have to utilise the sofas as additional beds. It was a pure mistake... More
