Val Cenis

 

“We had a wonderful ski holiday in Les Alpages….The sun shone most of the time and we had fresh snow, all making for an ideal ski break”

Mrs H, London – Les Alpages de Val Cenis, Val Cenis, 1st April 2006

 

“We have just returned from an enjoyable week at Les Balcons, Val Cenis”

Mr G. Kent – Val Cenis, Les Balcons, March 2005

 

“Have just returned from an excellent holiday to Val Cenis and I thought I would let you know how pleased we were with the resort and the skiing. The ski school was excellent and the areas suited all levels of skiers within our party. We truly enjoyed a lovely holiday and would definitely recommend this area for its natural beauty, a charm lost in many other resorts.”

Mrs B. East Sussex – Val Cenis, Les Balcons, February 2005

 

 

Valfrejus

 

“Just got back from a week in Valfréjus and wanted to say thanks for a great holiday. Everything went smoothly…We all had a lovely time. Many thanks, we will definitely go to Valfréjus again with Peak Retreats.”

Mrs S, Essex – Valfréjus, La Turra, January 2005

 

Aussois

 

“We had wonderful time at Aussois and will definitely return there. Many thanks for all your help”                                                Mrs W, Suffolk – Aussois, La Combe, 10th February 2007

 

“We went to Aussois Feb half-term. Had a great time – Everything ran really smoothly and we were greatful that we had pre-booked everythimg. Will certainly recommend you, and will certainly go back.”

Mrs. P, Milton Keynes – Aussois, La Combe, 11th February 2006

           

“Just back from Aussois and we had a great time. Many Thanks! Weather was superb and skiing fantastic!”

Mrs. W, Worcestershire – Aussois, La Combe, January 2005

 

La Norma

 

“The resort was absolutely brilliant – especially for families. Our children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and didn’t want to go home. The people were really friendly and helpful, and the skiing was excellent (so was the scenary..!) We would definitely recommend La Norma to anyone considering a skiing holiday AND we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Peak Retreats (we have already booked with them for next Feb!)”

Mr & Mrs K, Hastings – La Norma, Les Chalets de la Vanoise, 10th February 2007

 

“Thank you for organizing a fantastic holiday for us!!….We will be ringing you to organize next years holiday!! La Norma is a real gem…I’ve already passed it and your info over to a number of colleagues with small children as I couldn’t praise it highly enough for the child friendly nature of the place and the people”

Mrs. M, Wiltshire – La Norma, Les Chalets de la Vanoise, 17th February 2007

 

“Having just returned from a week at La Norma with my young family and friends, I feel that I must drop you a few lines to thank you for recommending the resort to us – we had a simply terrific time. I have been skiing twice before, but a long, long time ago and all I remember is the sickly coach ride and to the lift or the long walk uphill in uncomfortable boots after a long day on the slopes, this is not the case at La Norma. The compactness of the resort means that everything from ski lifts to nursery slopes to supermarkets to restaurants is less than a 5 minutes walk away,, ideal for kids and worn out adults alike. I must also comment on the friendliness of the local people working in the various shops and restaurants as the language barrier can be a bit daunting – they were very helpful and patient and a big recommendation for Le Savoy restaurant, absolutely fantastic! Thanks again for an unforgettable week.”

Mr. S, Suffolk – La Norma, Les Chalets de La Vanoise, 18th March 2006

 

“I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our trip to La Norma. It was just as described – small and friendly with everything on our doorstep. The nursery was great and our youngest daughter really settled there”

Mrs D.Twickenham - La Norma, Chalets de la Vanoise, March 2005

 

“We really liked La Norma, it was a perfect family resort for us…The children loved the skiing, we would like to go to another resort next year”

Mrs T. Surrey, La Norma, Chalets de la Vanoise, March 2005

 

“We had a great time. The ski hire pass (much better with the electronic system!) and ski school all went smoothly. The accommodation in Troyes on the way home was good. All the people in the resort were friendly and it has a nice cosy family atmosphere. As before, not too many English/ Irish people around (except for our large party! and the other group that booked through yourselves). The skiing was good, and the people that had been too much bigger resorts all enjoyed themselves on the slopes and the young (5 years or less) had a great time getting used to skis in their lessons.”

Mr G, Bedfordshire, La Norma, Chalets de la Vanoise, February 2005

 

 

Valloire

 

“We had a lovely holiday”

Mrs S, Surrey – Valloire, Les Fermes de Planet, 31st March 2007

 

“Fab holiday yet again Thank you Peak Retreats…..On the resort; absolutely fantastic that you could ski the whole area and not have to take your skis of once to use the Telecabine and eggs….We all had a fantastic time and would go back again tomorrow!!”

Mrs C, East Yorkshire – Valloire, Les Chalets du Galibier, 31st March 2007

 

“We had a great holiday and Peak Retreat’s arrangements were excellent… The height of the ski area was also a huge advantage for late skiing in hot sunshine”

Mr C, Salisbury – Valloire, Les Valmonts, 7th April 2007

 

“I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for our holiday in Les Alpages d’Auguste, Valloire. We had a fantastic week despite incredibly hot and sunny conditions and really enjoyed the village and apartment……..The apartments are very well-kitted out and were spotless. The Flexi-Plus ticket was great and so much easier to arrive at each end jump on the next available train. Thanks again for a fantastic trip and your friendly advice in sorting it out”

Mr P, London –  Valloire, Les Alpages d’Auguste, 10th March 2007

 

“We have just returned from a wonderful weeks skiing at the Grand Hotel in Valloire, France. I would just like to say that everything to do with my contact with Peak Retreats in booking the holiday was dealt with efficiently, politely and very satisfactorily. There were NO problems in the resort with any of the bookings I had made for ski hire etc or lift passes and the hotel was comfortable and extremely accommodating. SeaFrance obliged by getting us onto earlier ferries both outward bound and return when we turned up before our allocated slots. This is the first time I have used Peak Retreats and was expertly looked after by Jess and would have no hesitation in recommending the company. Queries were dealt with promptly by phone and confirmation paperwork/vouchers arrived when they were due. I found the website, which was my first point of contact, easy and pleasant to browse and get the information I needed. Previous experience from less professional companies have prompted me to send you this email. Need I say more?!”

Mrs W, Cambridge – Valloire, Grand Hotel de Valloire, 10th February 2007

 

“The holiday in Valloire was fantastic- we had plenty of snow (thankfully) and the chalet really was perfect. All the arrangements went like clockwork. Thank you for all your assistance and help”

Mrs P, Milton Keynes – Valloire, Les Fermes du Planet, 30th December 2006

 

“Thank to Peak Retreats for organizing a fantastic holiday.”

Mr. C, London – Valloire, Les Chalets du Galibier, 1st April 2006

 

“Our holiday was fantastic from the start everything so simple – checking in for ferry, finding the accommodation when arriving in resort, checking into our accommodation, obtaining our pre-booked ski hire, ski lessons and lift passes. Our apartment in Les Chalets du Galibier was of first class standard and so were the facilities. Underground heated parking was excellent at very little extra cost (nice to know the car was safe for the return journey). Staff were friendly and helpful especially with our limited French. The apartments couldn’t have been better situated, right across the road from a poma lift and our ski school meeting point, with a free ski bus service into the village and to the nursery slopes every 15 minutes all day long. The resort suited us perfectly as a family with two teenage beginners and one intermediate and one advanced adult. After ski school in the morning we were able to ski as a family in the afternoon. Although the resort hadn’t had any snow for nearly 2 weeks when we left, the pistes were still in good condition – obviously showing how the resort is cared for. Après ski ’bum sledging/boarding’ is a must for kids and adult alike – it was highly entertaining in the flood lit area in the village (at only 3 euros a board cheap fun too!!).Across the road from the apartments is a quaint little Pizza ‘shed’ that serves homemade pizza to order, which were excellent and at a very reasonable cost with helpful staff. The children thoroughly enjoyed their first experience of skiing and we will definitely return at some point in the future.

Ms. T, Essex – Valloire, Les Chalets du Galibier, 11th February 2006

 

Saint-Sorlin d’Arves

 

“We’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday in Saint-Sorlin d’Arves.”

Mrs F. Ipswich –Chalets de l’Arvan, Saint-Sorlin, March 2005

 

 

Brides-les-Bains

 

“We found your service to be swift and efficient with minimum hassle. The deal that we were offered certainly represented better value that I could arrange independently for the same travel arrangements and accommodation. The accommodation was good and exactly as described on your website. I would suggest that anybody planning to use Brides les Bains for access to the 3 Valleys will find it much more user friendly if they have a car rather than rely on the Telecabine to Meribel – not essential though!”

Mr W, Kerby-Le-Soken – Brides les Bains, Le Grand Hotel des Thermes, 24th March 2007

 

“On behalf of my wife and myself I would like to thank you once more for arranging our recent holiday. We enjoyed thoroughly both Brides les Bains and Valloire and look forward to similar holidays”

Mr. G, Lochgilphead – Brides les Bains, Le Grand Hotel des Thermes, 26th December 2006

 

“The holiday was a great success and everyone enjoyed themselves. The priority boarding on the tunnel worked really well for us. The hotel was nice. The rooms were comfortable, and for France the hotel seemed well furnished. The pool, hot tub, sauna and hamman got used by us all every night. Just what we needed to warm us up after a day on the mountain. Brides was a good base and the daily cable car ride didn’t prove to be a chore at all. The only drawback was Brides isn’t exactly buzzing with nightlife. That said, we were all too tired anyway. The food was very good with a choice of evening meal and the food was plentiful (5 courses of which the main was usually a choice of 2 dishes). There was also a good choice at Breakfast. The New Years Eve dinner was great, a massive open buffet. It all looked and tasted great. All in all we had a great time and have already recommended the resort, hotel and your company to our friends. We look forward to using your services again”

Mr. W, N. Lincolnshire – Brides les Bains, Le Grand Hotel des Thermes, 27th January 2007

 

“Our stay in the Grand Hotel was one of the highlights of our holiday. Everything was of a very high standard and the meals were exceptionally so. As you may remember my wife returned to work after the first week and I had the delight of describing to her each evening the splendid meal I had just enjoyed. The snow at Samoens was better than Meribel and whilst the hotel there was very cosy the Grand Hotel had set a very high standard.”

Mr. G, Cairnbaan Grand Hotel des Thermes, Brides les Bains, 1st January 2006

 

 

 

 

 

Vaujany

 

“We have just returned from a holiday organized by your company in Vaujany and were absolutely delighted with the accommodation and organization of the holiday”   Anon                                                                                                    

“All of the apartments were of a high standard and we all had a fantastic holiday. We would not hesitate to book with Peak Retreats again and recommend you to others. La Fedora – Chamois is an excellent apartment…..we would happily re-book in the future. Many thanks for your helpful service”

Mr. O, Salisbury – Vaujany, La Fedora, 24th March 2007

 

“We have just returned from Vaujany. We stayed at La Fedora in La Fouine apartment. Well, where do I start? I think we just have to SHOUT…….WE LOVED IT!!!!!!! The apartment, the resort, the hassle-free lift passes, boot ski etc were all superb. Needless to say we will not be telling a soul where we went as we want to keep it a secret gem for those who appreciate it! The ESF lessons were excellent and my youngest (4yrs) loved the garderie – the staff there were so friendly. From all five of us, thank you!!”

Mr. S, Jersey – La Fedora, Vaujany, 17th February 2007

 

“Just wanted to let you know we had a great holiday in Vaujany. The larger apartment was perfect and I am sure that we will be asking for this one again!”

Mrs. R, Berkshire – La Cascade, Vaujany, 10th February 2007

 

“Thank you for a great holiday. The Eurotunnel pass was a real plus and speeded our travel, great.”

Mr. S, Pembroke – Vaujany, La Cascade, 30th December 2006

 

“Once again a brilliant holiday, Your apartment was excellent just as you described and the location in Vaujany was brilliant….I have two very happy girls, one at her one star at age 6 and one with two star age 7, they both have massive smiles on their faces. A big thank you to you all.”

Mrs. C, Oxon – Vaujany, Les Balcons de Vaujany, 4th March 2006

 

 

“Thank you! We have recently returned from a weeks fantastic skiing in Vaujany and we loved every minute of it. The brochure you produced, the contact with the office and the pre-department information were really informative and helpful. The resort, the ski school teaching and the excellent accommodation we had all combined to make it a very memorable experience for us and our children, who had never skied before. The great weather and good snow helped too!”

Mr. H, Kent – Vaujany, La Cascade, 11th February 2006

 

“The accommodation was excellent, simple but decent condition and small details like a lemon squeezer and manual soup grinder. The snow was a bit scant for the first three days but the weather was great and it’s great for technique to struggle on ice for a while. The pisteurs even looked worried by Tuesday but then we had a dump, the sun quit and the snowboarders stayed in the bar which was just magic for the rest of us. We had a fab time, I would do it again sometime. Kids classes were great and suitably fierce to ensure them as tried to get above themselves were restrained to the relevant level which I applaud. Ski 2000 were courteous and OK. I think they had to try 6 pairs of boots on me before we found something comfortable. So they get the patience award. The pool etc is a great facility and it is good that you highlight that in the resort.”

Ms. P, London – Vaujany, Dome des Rousses, 11th February 2006

 

Les Deux Alpes

 

“A fantastic holiday – thanks Xavier….The Cote Brune was excellent as usual as was la Skirie, good snow, just a perfect holiday. We forgot to book the ski school through you but used the ESS and the team were excellent. The two instructors we had were superb.”

Mr & Mrs R, Surrey – Les Deux Alpes, Cote Brune, 17th March 2007    

 

“I found all the staff I dealt with very helpful and courteous. Parysa also emailed me extra photographs and gave honest information about the residence I booked. The information sent to us with our accommodation was very useful too…..I will recommend Peak Retreats to friends. All paperwork came through quickly. The brochure is well presented and gives useful and honest information. Thank you”

Mrs H, Leeds – Les Deux Alpes, Flocon d’Or, 7th April 2007

 

“Excellent for non-skiing holiday makers also”

Mr B, Greater Manchester – Les Deux Alpes, Le Surf des Neiges, 7th April 2007

 

“I would like to mention that the apartment we were allocated was of a very good size. It was clean and had all we needed (just as Parysa had reassured me) with the added bonus of a bath and shower room. The information pack was sent to us before we left was very informative and even though we have travelled to Europe many a time, there were useful tips to consider. Overall, we had a very good ski holiday so late in the season and our children really enjoyed the children’s circus that took place all week which the Tourist Office had organised”

Mrs H, Leeds – Les Deux Alpes, Le Flocon d’Or, 07th April 2007

 

“We have just returned from our holiday at the Cote Brune Hotel in Les 2 Alpes and thought I would let you know what a fabulous time we had. The hotel was so perfectly positioned; we were the envy of others. 2 minutes walk in boots from the 2 main gondolas. Such a priority when you have young children. Ski hire and lift pass was easy. The European Ski School was the best I have ever come across. 100% English speaking and both of my children had great fun. Thank you to Peak Retreats for making this such an enjoyable time.

Mrs K, Harrogate – Les Deux Alpes, Hotel Cote Brune, 17th February 2006

 

“We had another fantastic week in Les Deux Alpes this half term. Thank you again for all your help”  

Mrs. C, Kent – Les Deux Alpes, Alpina Lodge, 11th February 2006

 

“The chalet was certainly impressive. Eurotunnel worked well and the drive was not too stressful”               

Mr. G, Essex – Les Deux Alpes, Chalet Les Jonquilles, 11th February 2006     

           

“You will be pleased to know that our recent ‘boys’ trip was excellent. ESS were good. We had hoped to get Jeremy again for private lessons but we couldn’t quite convince them to let us have him! However the chap that we had (Max) was very good. Thanks again for the excellent service.”      

Mr. R, Surrey – Les Deux Alpes, Hotel Cote Brune,, 21st January 2006

“We had a very good time so thanks for helping us through our wavering choices! The Chalet was excellent and nicely placed. The parking was good and the snow was very good. The Novotel was very good and we had a great time there. Overall we had a great time and are looking forward to going again.”

Mr R, Surrey – Les Deux Alpes, Les Jonquilles, February 2005

Mr H, Petersfield - Chalets Saint-Marcel, Saint Marcel, 7th April 2007

 

Serre-Chevalier

 

"Excellent apartments-well furnished and located. Swimming pool and sauna and steam were very welcome at the end of the day. The instructors were friendly and made learning fun for my family.I booked a private instructor for myself as I regained my 'ski legs' quicker than I imagined and had a n instructor who I think is the best I have ever had.I have been seven times before over 20 years ago and have been taught by French, Italian, Swiss and Austrian ski schools. My wife and sister in law booked a walk in the mountains with snow shoes and had a great time. The main thing was that Serre Chevalier,my family's ski instructor Alex-who also gave my wife one to one lessons-and Hameau du Rocher Blanc made our stay so good that my wife, who was convinced she could never enjoy being near snow, had the best time and we are trying to fit in another trip there next year. Aix en Provence and Briancon were also very interesting places to visit at the end of our trip. For a family, I am convinced that Serre Chevalier will never disappoint! Thank you for your recommendation and services."

Mr P, London -  Serre-Chevalier, Hameau du Rocher Blanc, 31st March 2007

 

Peisey Vallandry

 

"Great resort, excellent position in relation to Vanoise express. Flexiplus upgrade was brilliant. L’Arollaie good in perfect location"

Mr W, Conway -  Peisey-Vallandry, L’Arollaie, 7th April 2007

 

“We returned on Saturday from an excellent week of skiing at Les Arcs. I know Peak Retreats has no control over the weather but we picked a great week. The accommodation at L’Arollaie at Plan Peisey was fantastic. All details of the trip organised by Peak Retreats were very well done….Next year we will certainly be giving you our business…Please pass on our appreciation to your colleagues who helped is book this great holiday”

Mr B, Berkshire – L’Arollaie, Plan Peisey, 31st March 2007
