COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS...

'Having visited both Tatatz and Cristalle, the chalets are very similar but Cristalle is slightly smaller and offers a mixture of modern & traditional furniture with a wood burner which is really effective (and most welcome) when there is snow outside! The house has a real family atmosphere although I am sure it would be equally suited to groups of friends, and I found it to be lovely and cozy (and the flat screen tv and DVD collection were a real bonus!). Susan tempted us with home made 'boeuf bourguignon', delicious pea, apple & mint soup, and hearty fish pie, we rwealised we could have a gastronomic holiday as well as a skiing one! Susan and Kevin are great hosts and their passion for the food and level of service is amazing - goodness knows how they manage to get everything done during the season, but they somehow manage! They can help will will all sorts of extra bit and bobs such as booking ski lessons, babysiiting and stuff like that which is a great help if you're not terribly confident in French. They can even show you areas of the domaine that you wouldn't otherwise know are there, so it's really a catered chalet with hotel/concierge services! The jacuzzi is a great place to relax and soothe aching muscles after a day on the slopes. Bliss...'

'We had an excellent week in Cristalle with comfortable warm rooms, and an excellent shower - not always the case! The hot tub was gorgeous - according to my wife. Wonderful food (thanks Ann!)and great service. The skiing at Morillon was epic and we wouldn't hesitate to go again. Thanks for finding this great chalet and for organising everything'
