Delighted to see that everything was to your liking - thank you.

“We booked a ski week here with my Sister and Brother In Law, after reading all the great reviews, so we were expecting a Gourmet week before we even arrived, but we have to say that even with the reviews, the actual dining is far better than we could have anticipated. Apart from the Chalet night off and Curry night, we had a Seven Course experience every night, and it was beautifully presented with Fabulous paired Wines. The courses were measured and therefore, we all finished every course every night without being over faced. The wine was free flowing, and the staff were superb all week. Without doubt, after 25 years of ski chalets, this is the best food we have ever had in a Chalet or Hotel, and I would suggest that eating out to this standard every night, would have cost us as much for the food and it did for our holiday at Saskia. Of course, as with any chalet holiday, the group you are with can make or break a week, the chalet has two wings, which effectively run as two chalets, ours had 5 rooms, so we shared the week with 3 other Couples, and luckily we all got on great, worth checking with Ski Peak on the mix of bookings for the week before you book. Our room was a 3 bed room in the loft, which was spacious and had a bath, I think this was probably the largest room in the chalet, so we were pretty happy with it, although I suspect other rooms were a bit simpler (shower only) and smaller. The rooms are to a good standard, although perhaps out of balance with the level of cuisine served at the chalet, however as you never spend a lot of time in the room, and because the chalet had a spacious lounge, it didn't really figure in our Score overall. Downstairs in the basement is a games room which was well equipped, and next door a Sauna with access to the Hot Tub, neither of which we used, but others did and seemed to enjoy it. Vajauny is a quiet resort, so don't expect lots of Après, however the two main lifts are a close walk (4 mins) to Saskia, and within a couple of lifts you can enjoy all the runs of Alpe D'huez as well as the more local Vajauny runs. There is a heated boot room at Saskia, and they also have a boot room by the lifts which we used all week to our benefit, although the boot heaters weren't working during our stay. All in all, we would highly recommend a stay, particularly if you're a foodie, Marcus the chef and the chalet staff are first class, it would suit families or groups of food loving adults more than party crowds Show less”

“Chalet Saskia is a very comfortable, well placed chalet within walking distance of the lifts. We loved the incredible meals created by Marcus and served by his very capable team of Freya and Fionn.”
