Client Reviews
We loved Le Refuge Apartments. The pool was small, but was actually perfect for the number of apartments sharing it. The apartment was huge and very comfortable.
Superb accommodation which I would enjoy returning to and would recommend to others.
The accommodation at Kalinda is beautiful and ski to door... this resort is for people looking for relaxation after skiing as the bar and restaurants are quiet.
Lovely resort, very quiet but that's perfect for a young family, very friendly. Ski school was great, the children loved it. We all loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and Peak Retreats make everything so easy.
Friendly apartments, clean and well sized. The two bed was very spacious for a family of four with good facilities. It was a 5 min walk to the slopes, but for the price this was worth it.
We loved the resort and the accommodation - planning to rebook for next year.
Really pleased with our apartment... Everything was first class. Ski lockers were open and spacious. Really close to the ski lift so very easy skiing. Local shops, bar/ restaurant very good. Short walk to main village. We loved where we were. Really relaxing and quiet.
Our accommodation was probably the best self catering apartment we've ever stayed in - and was definitely worth booking a big place so we had room to spread out.
The Chalets de Leana are top class apartments, well placed in the village, a few minutes from ski bus stop; hiring a ski locker at the lift is recommended.
Our apartment was so convenient & well designed... The ski boot rooms were brilliant.
Flexiplus was very convenient & reduced the stress when travelling, knowing that we were not restricted to a specific time.
Loved the wide slopes & the fact that the green/blue slopes were high & had fantastic views. A small friendly resort which is relaxed, family friendly & totally unpretentious; super!
The accommodation was great. The pool/spa/reception area were brilliant.
Thanks for recommending a superb resort. Amazing facilities for children.
Incredible value for money. Beds were fantastic! Will definitely be going back there. Overall fantastic holiday at amazing value!
Fabulous resort linked to an amazing ski area. The local ski area was excellent as well but the blues are more like reds in places especially the one going to the right at the top of the main local lift. The green at the bottom was a fantastic confidence building slope and we could let the kids go up and down the button whilst we relaxed watching them!
Peak Retreats staff have been excellent, always extremely courteous and helpful with a variety of queries leading up to the holiday. Would not hesitate to recommend to others or to use again ourselves.
A small and friendly village feel with access to amazing skiing in the 3 valleys. If you don't need luxury frills and are looking for a great value, self-catering family ski holiday with a genuine French feel, I would highly recommend.
Extensive ski area was big benefit.
We liked the resort, we wanted to get away from a purpose built French resort. Skiing on the Samoêns side was excellent.
The staff were excellent, very helpful and welcoming.
The four children enjoyed the week and progressed well in a safe skiing environment.
Our accommodation in Les Carroz (Les Chalets de Leana) was excellent. I would stay there again very happily. The resort itself is quite small but has everything one needs for a good skiing holiday or a summer holiday.
The service was excellent and having the FlexiPlus Eurotunnel included was brilliant... Peak Retreats staff were great and went above and beyond to sort out the extras for us, in particular, the children's ski lessons.
Overall, everything exceeded our expectations and we had the most amazing holiday! We will be returning next year - thank you!!
The apartments were warm and comfortable with a good range of facilities.
Chalet des Dolines is perfectly located and has excellent spa facilities.
St Martin is a small, quiet resort with first class access to the 3 Valleys. The skiing there is wonderful.
Our apartment in Chalets du Gypse was very spacious and comfortable and I would be happy to return.
The apartment was really very good and location superb.
Just to say what a fabulous week we had at Grand Bornand. The accommodation was excellent, so well equipped. Great atmosphere in the village, really friendly & welcoming people around in the ski shop, mountain bars etc. Slightly worried at first as raining at the lower altitude & real spring snow but it snowed at night & later in the week & we had great powder to enjoy. Thanks to you all.
We had a very positive experience using Peak Retreats and would recommend them. Loved the accommodation and the flexi-plus on the Eurotunnel
The leisure facilities lived up to their luxury status and I used them extensively.
Neige & Roc Hotel was excellent.
Vaujany is a great value for money ski resort. It has excellent access to snow-sure slopes.
The food and friendly service at La Maison à Colonnes are great, but book early as it is very popular.
The spa area at Kalinda was lovely - a choice of divine smelling steam rooms and saunas.
It is easy to ski/take ski lifts across to Val d'sere so it is definitely worth getting a ski pass for etc who area (not just Tignes).
The cafe at the bottom of the Col Madeleine run is the best for food/seating and views of the ski area.
The supermarket on site is incredibly well stocked and reasonable for the quality and convenience.
Easy access to La Rosiere from Les Eucherets with a lovely walkway. Some nice bars and restaurants in both areas. The Grange in Les Eucherets was our favourite restaurant. Good quality food and friendly service with a good menu.
The main restaurant at the top of the gondola Vieux Moulin was excellent - and another great find was the the restaurant at the junction of Arcelles and Solert- it had wonderful views from its suntrap deck. Recommend heading into Lanslebourg for shopping, especially the fantastic butchers.
Best mountain restaurants - Chalet D'Clair, Morillon and La Pente a Jules, Flaine. Sledges can be borrowed from Chalets de Jouvence reception along with fondue sets etc.
If skiing with young children use the hired lockers near top of the Grand Massif Express.
Bowling was a good evening out with reasonably priced beer.
La Rosière is a perfect resort for a family holiday.
Good resort to take friends and family who are new to skiing.
Hotel St Charles apartments were fabulous and very clean!
Bar Le Graal was great for apres ski, either inside or outside in the sunshine.
Right next to the slopes, ski hire shop, supermarket. Excellent location.
Check out the Ten Pin Bowling in the nearby village for great food for the family. Great resort for families & beginner/intermediates.
Petit Oignons - best restaurant all round!
Great pool. Apartment spacious and comfortable. Good facilities.
We had a great evening watching a well supported local ice hockey game.
L'a-Coeur, L'Apres (pizzas) and Les Brevettes (can't book, cash only, amazing food) were our favourite restaurants.
We love L'Arcelle restaurant in Lanslevillard and La Vieille Poste in Lanslebourg. There are plenty of local boulangeries, the street market every Wednesday, as well as the well stocked and convenient supermarket.
A typically French ski resort, friendly welcoming locals.
The Lanchette lift next to the Grange aux Fees saves a lot of hard work getting on to the pistes.
The Off Shore Restaurant on the La Thuile slopes is a cool, quirky little restaurant with great music. Stopped there for cappucino and croissants every morning!
McKinleys restaurant was very reasonably priced with good food and a nice family atmosphere.
The Sherpa shop, Pizza du Bois and Fromagerie cheese shop on main street were excellent. We were 3 families in separate apartments and used the free hire service to have a fondue night and a raclette night, which the children enjoyed.
If you walk up to the old town, there's an Italian pizzeria; amazing food, amazing prices, amazing service.
Very good family resort with very quiet apres ski.
Would highly recommend lessons with ESF ski school. Staff very friendly, helpful and full of local knowledge.
The White Deer pizzeria was an excellent new addition. This is the sixth time that we have gone to this resort, I think you can judge from that just how much we like it.
My self and my two daughters aged 15 and 10 enjoyed a fantastic skiing holiday at Aussois. I had not skied for a number of years and my two daughters had never skied before and by the end of the week we were all skiing down the mountain on blue runs. The highlights were fantastic weather, fantastic ski school and a friendly welcoming town with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Peak Retreats for finding such a gem.
Thank you ! We will certainly give you a call next time we are thinking of organising a group ski trip.
Ste Foy is a great little resort in its own right, but really good as a base for visiting the mega resorts of the Tarentaise valley.
Fantastic resort all round for family skiing experience. Ski school for children exceptionally good... my two daughters had never skied before and by the end of the week we were all skiing down the mountain on blue runs. The highlights were fantastic weather, fantastic ski school and a friendly welcoming town with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Peak Retreats for finding such a gem.
Aussois is great for beginners and those with young families.
Ski in ski out was excellent. Lovely pistes and plenty of space. Resort just lacking apres ski but very friendly resort.
The holiday, accommodation and resort were superb. We think Peak Retreats are great and it's nice to see good accommodation being offered in the Alps.
I have recommended your company to many parents when they say it's too expensive to ski at half term!
Excellent for families with young children.
Four restaurants well worth a visit in Samoëns include: Aux Becs à Fleu, La Tornalta, Le Serac & La Louisiane. Our favourite restaurant on the piste is L'Anfionne in neighbouring Les Carroz. It's located opposite the Télésiège at the end of the Plein Soleil blue ski run. Favourite bar in Samoëns is The Aspen Bar. This resort has everything for families, skiers and non skiers alike. Skiers can access all of the neighbouring ski resorts from Samoëns.

There are fabulous patisseries in the town, so plenty of opportunities to treat yourself after a day on the slopes.
Great for families and beginner/intermediate skiers. Resort centre is nice, sweet local restaurants and bowling/ice skating, kids loved it.
Flexiplus ticket on Eurotunnel is essential, it saves a significant amount of time, takes pressure off having to make a certain time and food provided is very good.
The location is right next to the piste & there's a very good Italian restaurant next door.
Great for children & families, excellent value compared to the bigger ski areas.
Le Cosy is a fun bar selling crepes. L'Etagne is by far the best restaurant.
L'Etagne and Les Barillions restaurants are excellent but need booking. These are by far the better restaurants in the village. Snow Tubbing is great fun and the kids have a ball.
The local of apartments to the slopes is great. Al dente in the apartment blocks had really good take away pizza and spoke excellent english. We used the eskimo ski pass, need to prebook transfers to other resorts and they only go to one resort per day. La Norma really close and good skiing.
Check out the little Patisserie by the Pre Novel ski lift.
The ski shop was absolutely excellent - unbelievably helpful.
Lovely traditional resort that is not commercialised. A great family friendly resort.
The local pizza restaurant above La Cascade is very good. The bowling alley is also fun for the kids.
Auberge is excellent, it has a sister restaurant on the mountain, which is equally as excellent.
The restaurant above the ice rink is a great place to let younger children play in the snow whilst having a drink and watching them!
La Pierce Neige restaurant at Outran 1 is excellent. Reception staff at Chalet des Neiges were efficient, friendly and very helpful.
Auris is small and friendly... It's a great resort for beginners.
If we went back, we would like the same location, as it was peaceful and quiet and great for our family of four.
We had excellent 3 course meal at La Marmite. We also enjoyed food, ambiance and welcome by owner Michel at La Piece Neige bar/restaurant. We would recommend both.
