Where do I start?....We stayed in Chalet Clementine over the New Year and had the most fantastic time.
From our initial booking Gary & Jan have been so helpful and always provided fully comprehensive answers to my endless questions. No question ever seemed too much trouble to answer. Gary gave advice on ski passes, transfers, ski hire...you name it, he helped us out with it. We booked everything through his recommendations, and it all worked out perfectly.
Gary met us on arrival and showed us around the chalet, telling us how various things worked etc. He then took us all up into the village and showed us where the supermarket was, various restaurants, the tourist info and ski hire etc.
We were 2 families of 4, and found the chalet was great for us. It is so beautifully presented and has such lovely homely touches. It feels so warm & cosy too; especially with the fabulous log fire roaring away. (Logs were provided free by the owners) The cupboards in the kitchen are really well stocked and have every type of pot/pan/dish/kitchen appliance you could possibly need. We cooked ourselves and ate in nearly every night, and sat round the huge dining table to eat our meals.
There were board games, a great selection of DVD's and books, TV with English channels, if we needed them. To be fair though after a tiring day of skiing and hearty meal, we were in bed for 9 exhausted! Whilst on the subject of beds;,all 4 bedrooms were lovely. Really comfy beds.They all had 2 single beds, a wardrobe and bedside cabinets.
There was a large cupboard in the entrance hall which we found handy for ski boots and ski's, and plenty of coat hanging.
The location of the chalet is just fantastic, the view from the chalet has uninterrupted views of mountains. Waking up and looking out to that scenery was breathtaking.
We found Oz was a perfect base for us, a quieter village away from the larger resort of Alpe D'huez, yet a 15 minute gondola ride and you could access the huge ski areas of Alpe D'Huez. Oz and Vaujaney.
For us, the Alpe D'Huez ski area was the best resort we have ever skied in. It literally catered for everyone. I was happy skiing all day on the lovely wide gentle green and blue slopes, whilst my boys were off on the red and black runs.Snowfall was incredible.
I can highly recommend this chalet, it really was just a perfect holiday in a beautiful area and without doubt we will be back. Thank you so much Gary & Jan for letting us stay in your amazing home.
