Chalet Sakami

We had a fantastic week at Sakami, the chalet was lovely, perfectly set up and ideally located to access the slopes and the village. All the staff were great, from the communication with the office before we left through to the airport greet and Sam when we arrived in Avoriaz. Sam and Henry accommodated all our requests from restaurant and bowling bookings to babysitting, and were really helpful and friendly throughout. But the real star of our holiday had to be Amelia, ably supported by the always-smiling Charlton. She was the perfect chalet host, so warm and friendly, and a great cook. The children adored her and she was so kind to let them help out in the kitchen. Meg also made the holiday such a success as our resort nanny. The children had great fun with all the varied outdoor and indoor activities she provided. Her flexibility on daily hours made organising around lessons and meals a dream. We really can’t thank all the staff we met enough for making this such a wonderful holiday.

Excellent facilities, location and chalet hosts in Chalet Sakami in Avoriaz.

Fantastic holiday in Avoriaz…didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back! We were looked after superbly by the Amazing Amelia (and Henry and the wider VIP team) from start to finish! We were served unbelievably good food (and SO much of it). Amelia went above and beyond to create a special birthday for my daughter complete with the cake of her choice and balloons! Fab chalet in the heart of Avoriaz with a view you could never tire of. All the ingredients for a family holiday creating memories we will never forget!

Having skied before, we tried a 'catered' chalet this time, for the first time - Marvellous. Our chalet 'host, Amelia', was brilliant. Accommodating, friendly and really good at preparing all our meals, including traditional Christmas fare. Also, first time we have used VIP SKI - their attention to detail, lived up to their name. The local team were very attentive and knowledgeable. All parts of our experience, worked well, including the transfers. We would definitely recommend them.

Prior to the holiday we were asked whether we would like to pre-book: skis, boards, passes, lessons, meals out and anything else. All items were organised perfectly, meaning we had little to arrange ourselves. Transfer to the Chalet was smooth and we were met by VIP staff and Ellie, as the person who would prepare and serve all the meals and look after the Chalet. Ellie was a superb and natural host with all meals of a very high quality indeed. Nothing was too much trouble. I could mention every VIP Manager and staff member as they were all friendly, helpful and professional. During the holiday we occasionally asked for lunches etc. to be booked and they were able to offer full advice and make the desired reservations for us. The Chalet itself is in a great position and right next to access for the slopes/skiing plus the shopping and entertainment areas of the village. The Chalet windows and balconies have full views over the mountains and at the end of the day ... the setting sun. We found everything very comfortable and the space just right for our 3 couples on the holiday. Each bedroom having its own en-suite; with common kitchen, dining and lounge areas with comfortable settees. We were lucky to have sunshine and fine snow for our week's skiing and I'm sure other reviews can give information about the many and varied pistes with neighbouring resorts and Switzerland. We would definitely go again!

Holiday was fantastic- Grace was such a brilliant host, so friendly, helpful and an amazing cook. Loved the week with her hosting. Such a treat and thoroughly well looked after!

From start to finish, we cannot recommend highly enough our trip to Avoriaz with VIP ski. Every one went above and beyond to help us have an amazing time. Chalet Sakami is a gorgeous place and was perfect for our family of four. Grace looked after us so well - the food and hospitality was truly amazing!! Thanks for a fantastic long weekend and we hope to book again soon!

We were welcomed to our chalet by Emma a lovely girl with a desire to make our holiday as good as it could be. The chalet was lovely with all we could have needed. The chalet was somewhat smaller than last year, and in most ways ways was comparable, negatives were comments that the beds were too hard. Food was 4 out of 5, Emma certainly delivered more than was expected. We will consider again.

We have been very welcomed by Sam and Eamon. Eamon, our chalet host has been incredibly helpful and accommodating. Our food has been fantastic and Eamon has looked after us exceptionally well, such a friendly and helpful host, we couldn't have hoped for a better one to be honest!

I had a wonderful holiday in Chalet Sakami, thanks to Eamonn and Carlie's superb cooking and great company. I was on holiday by myself, which I've never done before, and they both made me feel very comfortable and were really helpful in giving me advice and tips. The chalet itself was impeccably clean and with all mod cons, not quite sure how I'll adjust back at home! I loved Avoriaz too, the easy access to the lifts and clear directions on the slopes made it a joyful skiing experience. A five-star holiday, no doubt.

Comfortable, great chalet host.

Had a fabulous week at this new chalet. Very good food, hosts Eamon and Will were superb, nothing too much trouble.

A lovely chalet with even lovelier hosts. We had a great time and Eamonn's cooking was restaurant quality. A few tweaks to the (new) chalet would improve things as would a slightly better choice of wine but that's to take nothing away from our hosts.

Very good attention from all the friendly staff. Comfortable chalet with decent access to slopes.Lounge a bit chilly and bedroom a difficult shape to fit in chair for clothes or to sit rather than on the bed. Eamon's cooking was amazing and the menus were very appetising and varied.

We hadn't travelled with VIP for a few years now and decided to come again as we could book just part of a chalet and for a shorter break - something we didn't know we could on a last minute basis. Our chalet in Avoriaz was new and had good specs - although I felt the bedrooms were tight. Food was better than on previous trips (something I appreciate). Our host Eamon was excellent - and made the trip quite special. Also a great thanks to Sam in the resort team who sorted all our passes, skis and restaurant bookings.

Loved every minute. VIP super organized and very detailed oriented. No demand too big. From arrival to departure we felt well taken care off. Lovely chalet host Eamon. Bonus, he's an excellent chef and easily able to adapt to diet preferences. Thank you for a great experience. I'll be back.
