Samoens

 

“Thanks a lot, A very good weekend, Interesting weather 2 days of very hot sun, 2 days of deep snow (snow down in Samoens at 600m). The hotel was good, also very nice being able to ski out of the school holiday periods. About to start looking at next years family trip for Feb ½ term, Thanks again”

“Having just returned from another very successful family ski holiday booked with you at Samoens we would like to thank you for your first class travel arrangements with en-route accommodation and your selection of chalets and resorts. Our family booking was complicated because we travelled as three groups at different times yet all went very smoothly. Well done.”

Many thanks for everything else and a great first skiing holiday”

Ms B, West Yorkshire – Samoens, Hotel Neige et Roc, 30th December 2006

The service we experienced with your company and the representatives in the village was also quite perfect – so thank you. Many thanks again, for all your help in arranging our holiday.

Mrs. B, The Netherlands – Samoëns, Chalet Les Etoiles, 4th March 2006

 

“Just arrived home after our stay in Chalet Michelle in Samoëns, French Alps. What a fantastic chalet, please can you pass a message onto the owners of how delighted we were and all the extra little touches (did you know that Christmas decorations stay up until March!) The chalet felt like a home. We were so pleased with the organisation and the whole family had such a fantastic time, we have passed your details on!!!! Thanks again and we will be back.”

  Mr. M, London – Samoëns, Chalet Arnica, 4th February 2006

 

 

“We were very impressed with both the hotel and the area around Samoëns generally. The town was great and has very high-class shops. The hotel surpassed our expectations. The owners were charming and extremely hard working and efficient as well. The rooms were of a high standard and were cleaned well everyday. As for the food, it was absolutely excellent. Ever night a new treat and the breakfasts made lunch unnecessary. To summarise, we were very pleased with the trip and enjoyed it a lot and thank you for your efficient organisation of the whole thing.”

Mr L. – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, December 2005

It is highly likely that we will want to visit Chalet Michelle again in the future.”

Mr M. Bedfordshire – Samoëns, Michelle, February 2005

“We had a wonderful time in Samoëns in the Criou apartment.  It was really nice and the village is just beautiful.  The time of year is also very good. There were hardly anybody on the roads, the slopes were almost empty and the snow was still very good.  The people are very friendly and speak good English.”

Mrs G. Surrey – Samoëns, Alpina des Moulins, March 2004

           

“Our holiday was very enjoyable and everything went smoothly including the arranged transfer from Geneva airport. The hotel accommodation was to a good standard and the food was excellent.  The owners of the Neige et Roc were extremely friendly, helpful and obliging.  We also enjoyed the resort, which we found very relaxing and picturesque.  We would certainly have no problems visiting again.”

Mr G. Liverpool - Samoëns, Hotel Neige et Roc, March 2004

 

“A short note to thank you for your recommendation of Neige et Roc for our short break last week, we had a fantastic time.   The hotel was superb: friendly staff, very clean, magnificent food and great value for money.  This is an area we shall definitely return to.”

Mr J. Warrington – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, January 2004

 

“Thank you for helping us book our holiday to Samoëns, the accommodation, weather and skiing were fantastic.”

Ms M. Aberdeenshire – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, January 2004

 

“The Neige et Roc was a delightful hotel and our accommodation was excellent.  Over all we enjoyed the holiday and would certainly consider using Peak Retreats again.”

Mr L. Carmarthen – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, December 2003

 

“We had a wonderful holiday in Samoëns and are really glad that you recommended that particular village for us.  We loved the place, it is the right size of village, not too touristy, not too many Brits around and loads of French families on holiday together, which was refreshing.  Our son had the best holiday ever and the mountain biking was fantastic.  Neige et Roc was very good and the owners were very kind, hospitable- we can see why you use this hotel.  We would certainly return there.”

Mrs G. Aberdeenshire – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, August 2003

 

 

“The Neige et Roc was very comfortable and definitely to be recommended.  The skiing was great – so may runs to choose from.  This was our first time in France, having had all our skiing holidays in Austria, but having had such an enjoyable week we’re all keen to return to Samoëns again.”

Mrs L. Camberley – Samoëns, Hotel Neige et Roc, February 2003

 

“The Hotel Neige et Roc in Samoëns is outstanding and the Deffaught family are so friendly as indeed are all the staff working there were.”

Mr R. Hertfordshire – Samoëns, Neige et Roc, February 2003

 

Les Carroz

 

“I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time in Les Carroz. Our apartment looked out onto the mountains…”

Mrs R, London – Les Carroz, Les Fermes du Soleil, 11th August 2007

 

“We had a lovely two weeks in Les Carroz.  The travelling to France could nothave gone any smoother.  Les Clarines was wonderful.  Christine could not have been more helpful and professional.  As a family we reallyenjoyed Les Carroz.  The people on the whole are very friendly and polite.  The restaurants are very good and the supermarkets are well stocked.  The ski-bus is excellent and provides a very friendly service.  The ski school is very well run and our children have progressed to a good standard. Most of the ski instructors are very child friendly!  We will hopefully return there again.”

Mrs M. Brighton – Les Carroz, Les Clarines, February 2004

 

“We had a super time and how you organised it to snow on Wednesday/Thursday was beyond us all!  The accommodation was great……We had a superb time and managed to get lots of good skiing in. Les Carroz was excellent so please thank Nathalie for me; everyone was asking how I managed to get such a good resort so near to Geneva.”

Mr G. Buckinghamshire -Les Carroz, Les Servages April 2003

Dr T. Kent – Le Penoutlay, Sixt-Fer-A-Cheval, December 2004

 

Notre-Dame de Bellecombe

 

"Just a quick email to say we had a great holiday and my concerns with regard to the flexiplus shuttle ticket were totally unfounded.  I appreciated the call from your director prior to our departure reassuring us that there would not be a problem with the shuttle. This was very professional and a personal touch which sets your operation apart from other companies that we have booked with. The accommodation was of a high standard, warm and conveniently located. The reception staff were also very helpful and cheerful. We were recommended to you by friends and would recommend your company to others and hope to use you again ourselves”

Mrs P, Kent – Notre Dame de Bellecombe, Le Village, 22nd December 2007

 

"We had a superb family holiday! I have now recommended Peak Retreats to 3 other families all of whom have had good experiences too! Although our resort had no snow we were able to drive to Les Saisies which was family friendly and had free parking! The accommodation including tunnel price we paid represents great value for money and we have already put a reservation on a holiday for next year. The upgrade to the tunnel service was superb and I hope peak retreats are able to do the same next year!! A very satisfied customer."

Mrs J, Solihull - Notre-Dame de Bellecombe, Le Village, 07th April 2007

 

“Thank you for the great ski break in Notre Dame de Bellecombe. The apartment was great. The people were great. The ski hire people looked after us and were brilliant…..I have already told loads of people and will continue to do so. I cannot believe that this is probably the best holiday experience we have had in terms of being looked after. I am impressed and look forward to our next break with you”

Mrs B, Hampshire – Notre Dame de Bellecombe, Le Village, 16th December 2006

 

Argentiere

 

“Argentiere was an absolutely fantastic resort supplying us with excellent accommodation in a superb location”

Mr K, Fife – Argentiere, Le Cristal d’Argentiere, 7th April 2007

 

“We have just returned from our week in Argentiere that you kindly re-organised for us at the last minute. I just wanted to thank you and your team for making the extra effort required in relocating us and let you know that we had a fantastic week skiing! Everything was, as always, extremely well organised by yourselves. So thank you all very much for your extra work – it certainly made our holiday and we very much appreciate it. I look forward to booking with you again in the near future.”

Mrs S, London – Argentiere, Le Cristal d’Argentiere, 16th December 2006

 

“What a wonderful company you are part of. I guarantee that you have done better than Pere Noel in making some boys very happy! Everyone that I have corresponded with or spoken to have been exceptionally helpful. Thank you for this exceptional effort to change accommodations – we will certainly make arrangements through Peak Retreats again. Please convey my appreciation to all involved”

Mrs N, Pittsburgh, USA – Argentiere, Le Cristal d’Argentiere, 16th December 2006

 

“Just a quick email to let you know that we had a fantastic ski holiday in Argentiere last week. The apartment was great and in a good location within the village. Your website described everything very accurately and overall we have found Peak Retreats great to deal with. You were recommended by friends and we will be making like wise recommendation”.

Mr. A, Inverness – Le Cristal d’Argentiere, Argentiere, 8th April 2006

 

“I arrived home late last night from a superb skiing holiday which much of the booking was made with yourselves. I would like to take two minutes to thank you for your services. Everything from transfer to ski hire went as smooth as clockwork and the accommodation was absolutely excellent. The accommodation explanation was exact and location was superb for access. I will recommend your company and will certainly use you again.”

Mr. H, Birmingham – Argentiere, Le Cristal d’Argentiere, 31st December 2005

 

“We have just returned from our weeks holiday in the Cristal apartments in Argentiere. I would like you to know how wonderful it was and how much we appreciate the work put in by all of you to make our holiday such a successful and memorable one. The apartment was sheer luxury. Warm, well equipped, beautifully clean. And the staff on site were brilliant. We will be highly recommending your company to our friends.”

Mrs J. Nottingham – Le Cristal, Argentiere, January 2005

 

Les Saisies

 

“Returned today from another great holiday at Village des Lapons”

Mrs B, Surrey – Les Saisies, Le Village des Lapons, 10th February 2007

 

“We have recently enjoyed a visit to Les Saisies with your company. We are looking at the possibility of skiing again at Easter”

Mr N. Somerset – Les Saisies, December 2005

 

“Another fantastic holiday – all went brilliantly. Les Saisies was perfect for us, the organisation was faultless and the snow couldn’t be better. N.B we had a diesel car and because of the unseasonally cold weather it froze solid and we had to get a garage to take it away and warm it up! (One night it struck -20C!! Diesel apparently freezes at about -15C, petrol can stand lower temperatures). In hindsight we should have booked a garage for a diesel car, Just a thought; it might be a tip for future travellers. Hope to go again next year, so we will keep in touch. Thank you for all your help and your wonderful attention to detail.”              

Mrs D, Cumbria – Les Saisies, La Village des Lapons, 24th December 2005

 

Les Houches

 

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic accommodation and all of your help with sorting out the other bits we needed, it really did make our holiday perfect”

Miss L – Les Hauts de Chavants, Les Houches, 11 February 2006

 

 

“Having just returned from our skiing holiday we would like to thank you for what turned out to be our best one yet. All the arrangements worked out very well, ski equipment, ski passes and ski school that was actually arranged at the apartment’s reception. The apartment was a good size, warm, comfortable and well equipped, and when you told us it was on the piste we didn’t realise it was ON the piste: skiing from the patio door down to the lift and back again to the patio door at the end of the day.”

Mr S, Cardiff – Les Hauts de Chavants, Les Houches, January 2005

 

Morzine

 

“Thank you all at Peak Retreats for providing a very efficient service. Our contact and booking was mostly carried out by email and was straightforward and easy. The transfer with AlpLine was superb and the voucher system you provided for ski hire and ski school was faultless. We found that the Sport 2000 equipment was of very high quality and excellent location for hire and return”

Mrs S, Northern Ireland – L’Aiglon, Morzine, 29th December 2007

 

Combloux

 

“We had a very enjoyable holiday at Combloux. The weather was good, the apartment was excellent and the staff helpful. The area was good for walks and it was a good holiday. Thank you”

“Hello, just returned from our holiday – had a really good time. Very nice apartments and terrific views.”

Mr. T, Dorset – Combloux, La Grand Cordee, 11th February 2006

 

“You may recall that back in April I was the lucky winner of The Sunday Times travel competition which offered a week in the Grand Cordee apartments in Combloux, near Chamonix, courtesy of yourselves. I am just writing to say a big ‘Thank You’ as my wife and I have returned earlier this week having had an excellent holiday. The apartment was very nice and being the end of the season, quiet, and the manager a friendly and helpful man. Having never holidayed (outside Paris) in France before, we were enamoured by the area and the people of the Haute Savoie. The weather was pretty good and the scenery spectacular. The arrangements made by yourselves made everything run smoothly and we were grateful for your help and generosity. I have written to the Travel Desk at the Sunday Times endorsing your company. Thank you once again.”

Mr L, Durham – Combloux, La Grand Cordee, 10th September 2006

 

“Hello, just returned from our holiday – had a really good time. Very nice apartments and terrific views.”

Mr. T, Dorset – Combloux, La Grand Cordee, 11th February 2006

 

Annecy

 

“I just wanted to say thank you very much to whoever organised the retrieval of my bag which was left on the ferry on the outward journey. We picked it up without any trouble at all when we got off the ferry. It was extremely good of you to arrange it all and I am very grateful. It was a good holiday too!”

Mrs G, Surrey – Annecy, Le Birdie, 07th July 2007

 

“We have just returned from our short holiday at your Annecy resort of Le Birdie. We wanted to inform you that we were most impressed with the quality of this accommodation and with the overall service Peak Retreats have provided in all aspects of this booking…..Should we embark on similar holidays to this area then we would have no hesitation in booking this via your company. I thank you personally Jessica for being available in all of our communications and offering an excellent service throughout.”

Mr & Mrs W, South Lanarkshire – Annecy, Le Birdie, May 2007

 

“We have jut returned from our break at Le Birdie and wanted to thank you for all your assistance and in particular Lyndsey for suggesting and arranging our stay at Le Birdie. It was a beautiful setting and we were very pleased with the accommodation and the location. Please thank Celine for her assistance, extremely pleasant and helpful manner.”

Mrs L, Essex – Annecy, Le Birdie, 14th August 2006

 

“We have now returned from our holiday in France……we were very happy with our accommodation at Le Birdie”

Mr & Mrs H, Nottingham – Annecy, Le Birdie, August 2006

 

“Feedback on the resort: Very good for children as there is a playground that you can still sit and keep an eye on them. Excellent facilities, good standard of accommodation, very clean, staff friendly. Would strongly recommend beach shoes as the shore is very rocky. All the travel info we received was good and informative. If you don’t take food for on arrival it is a bit tricky at the L’O restaurant (on site) as you have to book a table for meals. Excellent restaurant, all nearby and very happy to have children there. We would definitely go back to La Baie des Voiles”

Mrs J, Guildford – Annecy, La Baie des Voiles, July 2006

 

 

 

Morillon & Morillon 1100

 

“We had a fantastic holiday at Le Jardin Alpin. The apartments were well equipped and very clean. Staff were especially helpful and friendly – Excellent – Thank you”

Mrs A, Jersey – Morillon 1100, Le Jardin Alpin, 24th March 2007    

 

“We had a great holiday thanks, it was the first time we’d skied in 12 years and with our children who took to it so well we’ll definitely be looking to go again in 2008. The accommodation was basic because it was the cheapest available as we had to do the holiday on a budget so we knew would get it so it wasn’t a problem. The location was great, easy access from the motorway and well located in the actual resort. The lack of snow in Morillon itself meant that we couldn’t ski from the door but again that’s the chance you take with going late season. That said, it didn’t hinder us at all – we were able to ski right back down into Morillon 1100. You came highly recommended by a friend of mine who has booked with you twice before and I have already sung your praises to many friends. All comms re the booking were clear and well presented. Thanks for offering us a great affordable holiday….when’s the 2008 brochure available?!?”

Mrs P, Surrey – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 31st March 2007

 

Just back last night, very impressed with Peak Retreats service - en route hotels/ferry all very good as well as resort/accommodation"

Mr T, Scotland -  Morillon 1100, Le Jardin Alpin, 7th April2007

 

“I would like to thank you for a fantastic service and accommodation in France – Morillon”

C, London – Le Buet, Morillon 1100, 31st March 2007

 

“Just a quick note to say thank you for organising our holiday to Morillon. Although the conditions were not as good as last year we still managed to ski everyday. The accommodation at le Buet was perfect and the apartment that slept 10 was fantastic. All of our party (which included another family) were positioned on the same floor (as requested) which made it a lot easier for us. We look forward to booking with you again next year. We already have a party of possible 15-18!”

Miss P, Oxon – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 10th March 2007

 

“We have been extremely impressed with the service from Peak Retreats and your staff have always been very helpful and friendly so a huge thanks for making the organising of our trip a pleasure! We have just had a fantastic week at Le Refuge de l’Alpage…it is extremely well equipped and very comfortable…..We had a great time and loved staying at the chalet. We will be going through you for our winter holiday next year too without a doubt”

Mrs U, Co. Durham – Morillon 1100, Refuge de l’Alpage, 10th March 2007

 

“Just thought I would send you a quick email to thank you all for a wonderful holiday in Morillon. The whole package was first class, from the tunnel crossing to the overnight stay, and the hotel Le Morillon was brilliant, the food and service was second to none. The ski lessons were great and we all learnt a lot in a week. I cannot speak highly enough of your service – It was exactly as you stated. Thank you all again…Really looking forward to next year!

Mr R, Dorset – Morillon, Hotel Le Morillon, 17th February 2007

 

“Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our holiday in Morillon”

Mr. H, Leeds – Morillon 1100, Apt. B1, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 10th February 2007

Ms B, Cornwall – Morillon 1100, Apts.E14 & C12, Refuge de l’Alpage, 10th February 2007

 

“I would like to thank you for a marvellous holiday at Morillon. Driving down to this area was easy and the tunnel crossing a joy, once we found out we had flexible tickets! The Hotel Le Morillon was exceptional, the new spa was beautifully done, the food was of a high standard, the wine exceptionally priced and the staff very friendly. Our family room was perfect, a balcony with views and warm and clean. The hotel staff were superb. I would recommend this hotel to any discerning skier and what value for money! Morillon was charming, not overrun by us Brits and Pascal sports in the village were very helpful for ski hire. Our children had an absolute ball and luckily the snow held out on the north facing slopes. Can’t wait to return to the Massif area again. Thank you!”

Mr. C, Worcester – Morillon, Hotel Le Morillon, 03rd February 2007

           

“I wanted to write and thank you very much for moving our holiday. We had a lovely time and think you were very good to let us move at no additional cost. I work amongst many skiers and have been recommending your company since our return”

Mrs L, Herefordshire – From Le Jardin Alpin to Les Chalets du Belvedere in Tignes Les Brevieres, 23rd December 2006

“Sometimes things don’t go according to plan but we try our best to put them right” – Peak Retreats

 

“Morillon 1100 appears to be a very nice – small and cosy. We managed to get ourselves booked into restaurants when we wanted to. Very nice blue run down from the top for weak intermediates. I will probably go back some time to give the area another chance”

Mr. G, Bedfordshire – Morillon 1100, Le Jardin Alpin, 30th December 2006

 

“We had a great time over Christmas, staying at Le Buet, Morillon. I’d love to go back when there’s some snow!

“Our stay at Chalet Coteau was really lovely”       

Mrs T, Beaconsfield – Morillon, Chalet Coteau, 26th August 2006

 

“I have to say a big thank you for a superb skiing holiday. We stayed in Le Buet in Morillon and everything was fantastic. We had apartments opposite some friends which really helpes as we could share the cooking and the children could play together in the evening. I have been on many skiing holidays and have paid a fortune in the past. Going with your company was in no way a compromise, even though it was that much cheaper. In fact due to it being so good we have passed your web address onto a number of friends and will definitely be booking with you again next year, As it was so good value we may even be able to afford two weeks skiing which has never been a possibility in the past. Of course it helped by the conditions being perfect (it was snowing when we arrived and then the sun shone all week) but the location of the apartments was fantastic – I have never stayed so close to the slopes before. Anyway I just wanted to tell you what a fantastic time we had and keep up the good work.”          

Mrs. P, Oxon – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 11th March 2006

 

“Would like to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morillon. We stayed at a wonderful apartment, which met our requirements perfectly. Many thanks to the staff at Peak Retreats.”

Mrs. B, Gwent – Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 8th April 2006

 

“I have to say a big thank you for a superb skiing holiday. We stayed in Le Buet in Morillon and everything was fantastic.

Mrs. P, Oxon – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 11th March 2006

 

“We had a really good stay, Morillon was excellent for us beginners and the village at Les Esserts had plenty of facilities, with easy access to Morillon Village by cable car. The apartment was very nice and in an excellent position to gain access to all the facilities. We spoke to other holiday makers who had used Peak Retreats and everyone thought it was excellent value for money. On the whole we were extremely satisfied with the whole package. Thank you for all your help in booking our holiday, we will certainly recommend Peak Retreats to friends and use the company again.”

Mrs. H, Liverpool – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 4th March 2006

The holiday was booked with yourselves and was very well arranged with all information provided…We had a great holiday and would love to return”

Mrs P – Morillon 1100 – Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 11th February 2006

 

“My boys and I had a really great time in Morillon. The apartment was just what we needed and I will certainly recommend your site to others.”

Mr. C, Leicester - Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 7th January 2006

 

“Many thanks for your co-operation and attention to detail when we booked our holiday. Morillon and the surrounding resorts are fantastic with many interesting and varied pistes enough to challenge anyone from beginner to expert. I am a great fan of casual skiing ie. in my own time with occasional stops for coffee and food. The Grand Massif offers plenty of mountain restaurants enough to satisfy everyone. The snow was the best for 10 years, which obviously helps the enjoyment. Best of all, Le Buet apartments were right on the piste enabling us to ski to and from without carrying hefty skis. The apartment itself was superb compared to other French resorts, nicely finished, spacious and close to the resort shop, ski hire and lift pass office. We drove through from Calais which was easier than finding most places in England with the downside being nearly 2000 miles return from Cumbria. But this will not put me off. Please pass on our thanks to everyone at Peak Retreats for a great time.”

Mr E, Cumbria – Morillon 1100, Le Buet, 7th January 2006

 

“A rather belated email to say that we had a wonderful holiday at Morillon 1100 at New Year, and to that the man I spoke to in the office who first suggested it. When I explained that we’d never been skiing before he was just so helpful. The apartment was great – in a wonderful location and very well equipped. The weather was fantastic and the advice I got from the Peak Retreats office about which resort to choose, ski passes to buy etc. absolutely invaluable. My husband and I are recommending you to everyone. Many Thanks”

Mrs. E, Port Glasgow – Morillon 1100, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, 31st December 2005

 

“We all had a fantastic time. The hotel clean and basic was so friendly, the food superb. The staff were so helpful. So a big thank you and perhaps see you next season.”      

Mrs. B, Northampton - Morillon, Hotel Le Morillon, 31st December 2005

 

“Thank you for your helping arranging my trip to the Hotel Le Morillon over Christmas. The hotel was ideal, super position and importantly we found the staff most accommodating in the vegetarian requirements of my wife! The food was very good, excellent service and the wine list offered a sufficient choice of quality wines at a very fair price. We were blessed of course with excellent skiing conditions and being able to ski back to the hotel was great. I reckon this village is in an ideal position for access to the Grand Massif ski area. It would be too quiet, perhaps, for the younger partygoers but for us golden oldies, a youthful 50, just fine! Another good choice by your company”

Mr. S, Bristol – Morillon, Hotel Le Morillon, 22nd December 2005

 

“Everything Peak Retreats organised worked like clockwork…. Overall we found the service from Peak Retreats excellent and we will definitely be using you again. We loved the fact that Morillon was quiet and not very commercialised. We look forward to skiing with you again”

Mrs C. Lanark – Morillon, Le Buet, April 2005

 

“We recently returned from our family skiing holiday booked via Peak Retreats….the addition of a piste map in the final documents was a great touch, we got to plan all the runs before even arriving, the kids loved that…your maps were excellent and we had no problem in finding our hotel, Le Buet…the staff were both friendly and helpful. We found the flat very clean and the equipment level good… The whole holiday was fab!”

Mrs B. Cambridgeshire – Morillon, Le Buet, March 2005

 

“Just got back and thought I’d drop you a note. The accommodation was excellent – having had many ski holidays where hot water was as rare as hen’s teeth it was a delight to have two showers and a bath with ample water for all 6 including three girls!!! We were all extremely impressed with the facilities in the apartment and location was excellent – especially pleasing being able to leave the skis and boots at the shop – a very welcome facility at the end of a hard days skiing.”

Mr A. Sydenham – Morillon, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, March 2005

 

“We have now returned from our holiday and enjoyed it very much”

Mr S. Kent – Sevenoaks, Hotel le Morillon, March 2005

 

“We had a great time skiing and we all loved the chalet”

Mr B. London – Morillon, Les Marmottes, March 2005

 

 

“We have just returned from our week at Chalet Guelues de Loup in Morillon- we had a great time.”

Mrs B. Surrey – Morillon, Chalet Guelues de Loup, February 2005

 

“We had a fantastic week in Morillon – thanks to your auction of the chalet. The skiing/ boarding was great – very quiet slopes and hardly any queuing. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity for a holiday we wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise.”

Mrs G. Edinburgh –Morillon, Mas Devant, February 2005

 

“We have recently returned from a holiday with Peak Retreats in Morillon.  We enjoyed the area so much we are now in the process of buying a chalet apartment there!“

Mrs L. Hertfordshire – Morillon, Le Buet, February 2005

 

“We wouldn’t think twice about using Peak Retreats again as they have been very helpful. We also thought that your apartment was lovely, and more importantly well equipped for a self catering holiday”

Mrs F. Cheshire – Morillon, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, Feb 2005

 

“Just a quick note to say that we had a great holiday in Morillon last week- the accommodation was great, the travel was ok and the weather was good.”

Mr I. Hertfordshire – Morillon, Le Refuge de l’Alpage, Feb

2005

 

“I just wanted to thank you for your efficient and helpful organisation of our recent holiday to Morillon. It was a great success and very suitable for our young family for the children’s first experience of skiing. I look forward to booking with you next year!”

Mr P. Kent – Morillon, Le Buet, January 2005

 

“Thanks for arranging a brilliant week in Morillon at Le Buet.  I honestly can’t think of any aspect of the holiday, which could have been better.  I can’t wait to go back!”

Mr I. Carlisle – Morillon, Le Buet, January 2004

 

“Just a short note to say thank you for your help and advice in booking our first ever family skiing holiday in Morillon.  We’ve just returned and had a fantastic time – one of my best holidays ever.  The place you recommended was exactly what we wanted…we just jumped over the ground floor balcony and skied off in the morning…couldn’t have been better!”

Mrs C. Warrington – Morillon, Le Buet, January 2004

 

 

“I’d like to say many thanks for making booking a holiday an easy and enjoyable experience, everyone that I dealt with at Peak Retreats was helpful and polite, keep up the good work.  The holiday was great and that was due to a multitude of things.  The accommodation was good and managed very well, although we did have a language barrier to begin with, it turned out to be good fun learning some French just to get by, everyone was so patient and believe me they need to be.  Please pass on our thanks to the people there as I’m sure we didn’t make it very clear.  The transfer to and from the airport was also a very pleasant experience and on time and it was very easy to make arrangements with them for the return.  Morillon is a great little village and the people are really friendly and a great base to gain access to The Grand Massif.  And to top it all, it snowed all week which made the skiing just the best.”

Mr I. Epsom – Morillon, Trefle a 4 Feuilles, January 2004

 

“I booked to go to Morillon over the New Year period and stayed at Le Buet.  I just wanted to let you know that we had a brilliant time, and everything went very smoothly – and wanted to say thank you for all your help with the booking.  I’ll definitely recommend Peak Retreats to anyone keen to go skiing.”

Mrs H. London – Morillon, Le Buet, December 2003

 

“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday last April in Morillon – all arrangements were spot on.”

Mr B. Devon – Morillon, Chalet la Marmotte, April 2003

 

 

“We had a wonderful holiday, it was a very pretty area and very friendly.  We joined in the celebrations in the village as a skier from there had just won a ski competition.”

Mr W. – Morillon, Le Buet, December 2002

 

Chamonix

 

“We have just returned from Chamonix having stayed at the Balcons du Savoy in Apt. 406. We had a great time, the apartment was so much nicer than the MGM one we stayed in last year. The apartment was situated very close to the main swimming pool which was fantastic for the boys. Also joy oh joy to mothers of young boys the apartment had 2 washing machines which makes life so much easier. However what made our stay very special was the fabulous care that the girls, the Marias we called them, Lucy and friend gave us during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they booked our babysitter and also all our restaurants plus making additional enquiries about activities for the boys. I would be very grateful if you would let them know I have contacted you to commend them. I would not hesitate to recommend this holiday to anyone who wanted to visit Chamonix. Thank you for all your help and we will speak again next year”

Mrs V, Cambridge – Chamonix, Les Balcons du Savoy, 14th July 2007

 

“I have just returned from Chamonix and the accommodation was perfect, Thank you to all in Peak Retreats”

Mrs. O, Dublin – La Ginabelle, Chamonix, 8th April 2006

 

Les Gets

 

“Just a quick email to say thanks for the excellent service you provided for our recent trip to Les Gets…. Chalet Le Pontet was without doubt the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in and would recommend its quiet location to your other guests. Although we did not ski in Les Gets it was a delightful little town with some excellent restaurants etc. Avoriaz proved to be a good stomping ground even with the very high temperatures the snow was pretty good on the mornings turning to ‘poor mans powder’ by lunchtime. Again thanks for all the long distance help and sorting out ski school. I am not sure of our plans for next year but if all goes to plan I will definitely be booking with you again and without hesitation would recommend you to my friends”

Mr D, Leicestershire – Les Gets, Chalet Pontet, 14th April 2007

 

“A short note to say Thank You, we enjoyed our holiday to Les Gets, Hotel L’Ours Blanc…..I am sure we will be booking with you again”

Mrs D, Dorset – Les Gets, Hotel L’Ours Blanc, 24th February 2007

 

“We are just back from an amazing holiday with you in Les Gets which we booked with you”

Mrs H, Selkirk – Les Gets, 30th December 2006

 

“I spent a week in Hotel Regina in Les Gets. I would like to thank Emilie for her brilliant hospitality which enhanced our stay”

Mr M. Bangor – Hotel Regina, Les Gets, July 2005

 

“We were extremely happy with the general organisation, everything ran smoothly: the airport pick-up, picking up the keys and linen, getting the ski equipment and passes. We found the chalet to be better than the internet had led us to believe, it was extremely well equipped. The skiing in Les Gets was great. We were all very happy with every part of the holiday. We were very impressed with Pas de Chevre and would be very interested in booking again for next year”

Mr T. Glasgow – Les Gets, Pas de Chevre, January 2005

 

 

“We had a wonderful time in Les Gets – everything was perfect from the airport pick up to the apartment and the return journey to Geneva.”

Saint-Gervais

 

“We went to St Gervais and stayed at le Grand Panorama it was the the most superb holiday. The whole experience was wonderful and the arrangements with Peak Retreats was excellent. We can't wait to go again and would strongly recommend Peak Reatreats to anyone.Thank you."

Mrs H, Warrington - Saint-Gervais, Le Grand Panorama, 7th April 2007

 

"Service in phone excellent. Friendly and helpful”

Mr W, Exeter - Saint-Gervais, Le Grand Panorama, 7th April 2007

 

“Just a note to let you know that we returned safely from St Gervais having had a wonderful time. The weather was just as it had been here over the last week, extremely hot and sunny. That obviously meant bad news for the snow on the lower slopes but there was plenty up high. We went to Les Contamines on Thursday and Friday and the extra height made a big difference to the quality of the snow (of which there was plenty). We really like St Gervais, as you said we would…..Le Grand Panorama was excellent in all respects: staff, facilities and location. We will definitely go there again sometime…… Thanks for a great holiday”

Mr G, Milton Keynes – Saint Gervais, Le Grand Panorama, 07th April 2007

 

“We had a good holiday in St Gervais recently and were very impressed with the accommodation”

Mr F, West Yorkshire – Saint Gervais, Les Arolles, 31st March 2007

 

“Just to let you know we had an absolutely fab time – for a first time ski experience we couldn’t beat it – now we all want to live there!!!! We will most definitely be booking via you again and passing your number on for family/friends – please send us any emails/newsletters, we are seriously suffering from withdrawal symptoms and can’t wait to go back. Thank you for all your help and advice – it made it all seem so simple!”

Miss W, Surrey – Saint Gervais, Le Grand Panorama, 6th January 2007

 

“The situation of the block could not have been better other than on the slopes themselves and all in all I would go back again”

Ms H Blackburn – Saint-Gervais, Grand Panorama, March 2005

 

“Super little village.  The apartments were very nice and the owners were very friendly”
