No. 3 Penthouse

Another fabulous week of skiing in the Alpes. Blue skies and perfectly groomed pistes, then a huge dump of powder snow for final day. Avoriaz met all our needs as different levels of skiers - ages 6-53! Even got some snow boarding lessons with Ski With Ease, Rikki was great. The VIP chalet was perfect, really comfortable and the views of the resort and the sun sets were spectacular. The chalet was spacious for 2 families to relax and enjoy. Our hosts Elena and Connor were really great company, made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The kids meals were well received and the adult selection was delicious, a tasty menu. We would give our hosts 10/10 and wish them all the very best for the rest of the season, thank you!,

Great location, super chalet, awesome food, and best of all helpful, kind and friendly hosts. Conor and Elena you rock!

A fantastic location for ski in ski out, right in the centre of Avoriaz with amazing views. Our hosts Elena and Connor were really lovely and provided us with exceptional meals and delicious afternoon cakes. They make a perfect team!

An exceptional week helped by the amazing weather and skiing conditions. Best of all we had a fantastic apartment with two of the best hosts - Elena and Connor. They were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot remember a time when we enjoyed such delicious food in a chalet - the variety and presentation was of the highest standard. Ski hire was also very good, top quality skis and helpful staff in the Absolut Ski Shop. Avoriaz is a beautiful resort, and I think we struck lucky with the week we were here. Not that you could have arranged the weather, but thank you for a fabulous week.

Thank you, VIP Ski, for delivering topnotch everything so our 3-generation family of nine enjoyed a fantastic Christmas holiday in beautiful Avoriaz. Starting with a professional booking process - with every request fulfilled; to travel meet and greet (thank you Jess and Kristin) making transfers with bulky ski stuff easy; to incredible Chalet Hosts; to a super Nanny whom our little ones loved; to very comfortable accommodations in Penthouse No. 3 with stunning views...it was all brilliant. Special thanks go to our Hosts, Elena and Connor, who worked tirelessly - always with big smiles - to look after us so well and serve us the most delicious meals. Our Christmas Day dinner was a real treat. They have superb culinary skills, and anyone staying in Penthouse No.3 this season is in for a real treat. They were a joy to get to know and we feel we have made new friends. Holly is a delightful, very well qualified, Nanny whom the children looked forward to being with. We thoroughly enjoyed this first experience with VIP Ski and look forward to more holidays with you. You go the extra mile to ensure your guests receive a holiday exceeding expectations. Thank you and Happy New Year.

My family and I have been on many holidays in catered chalets but this week with VIP Ski has to be one of the best. Penthouse 3 is fabulous with a great setup for families (we were 5 adults and 4 children) and the vues are absolutely incredible. Being there the Christmas week we had a tree that the kids got to decorate and we watched the fireworks from the 9th floor, they loved it! The highlight of our holiday has to be the staff and most importantly our chalet host and cook, Elena and Connor, WOW, what can I say, what a fabulous couple. Every meal was delicious and beautifully presented, they are warm, welcoming, respectful and fun, exactly what you’d want from chalet hosts. And they were great with the children who loved them! Kids meals were a big hit too. Lovely wines to choose from, great canapés and menu throughout the week, not to forget the cooked breakfasts. We also employed Holly, VIP’s fully qualified nanny for 3 days and she is absolutely brilliant. My 5 year old son loved her instantly and they had so much fun together. They played outside, painted, baked, built Lego and train tracks, the fun never stopped. I can not recommend Holly enough, thank you again! Everyone we met from VIP was very professional and helpful, I cannot fault them or any aspect of our holiday. Our Christmas week in avoriaz was magical I am so grateful to Elena, Connor and Holly for that! Thank you.

I have been going on French chalet holidays for the last 10+ years and this was definitely one of the best - compact but comfortable accommodation and great location. The views were amazing and a joy to wake up to every morning (even if you couldn’t see the other side of the Resort!) Connor and Elena were hands down the best hosts EVER! The food and hosting were wonderful especially considering the minuscule kitchen they have to work in. To produce a full roast turkey Xmas dinner for 9 as good as they did was impressive. They made a great holiday Exceptional. A credit to VIP ski. Holly the resort nanny is also a credit to the company. The kids that didn’t ski loved her and those that did wanted to have fun with her rather than ski! Knowing they were in such safe and loving hands made skiing stress free.

This is our second time with VIP and its was even better than the first! Great welcome from the VIP staff at Geneva Airport and a smooth transfer was followed by a hot chocolate welcome at the arrivals area in Avoriaz before our snowcat ride to the accommodation. Our heavy suitcases were unloaded from the coach and delivered to our Penthouse by the fantastic resort team. Then came the amazing bit - Connor an Elena... what a fantastic couple! They made us feel so welcome from the moment that we arrived. Connor's skills in the kitchen are unbelievable, very ably assisted by Elena, who was the perfect host . These guys are so polite & diligent in their approach, and made sure everything was just right for every moment of our stay. They did an absolutely flawless job and are a real asset to VIP Ski, epitomising what a luxury hosted ski holiday should be. Probably the best holiday that we have had so far (and we've had a few) Thanks again team VIP - we will be back!!

Connor and Elena were awesome hosts who truly made this experience unreal, we got along with them so well due to how sociable they were with us and not to mention the quality of the chalet.

The hosts have been so nice and have served the nicest food the entire holiday, the conditions for snowboarding have been so good and the food has kept us going do we can go out everyday, the location is very good in the heart of Avoriaz with a bakery and bar nearby and good restaurants at a good price. Will definitely be coming back

From booking last minute (day before departure) through to enjoying the final meal, everyone at VIP ski have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Both Dan and Robin have been the perfect apartment hosts, from early wake up tea/coffee choice, followed by an excellent breakfast, through to afternoon tea and then three course dinner, the attention to detail and customer care has been excellent. All our needs, and when you're skiing as a family with three kids there are many, were considered, even without us asking. The Apartment is so comfortable with everything we could possibly need and spotlessly clean. The location couldn't be better and ski in ski out is totally achievable even this late in the season. We have had an amazing holiday, thank you so much.

The chalet was nicely fitted out and had a great location. The hosts (Robyn and mark) were excellent - the perfect balance of friendly, interesting people and efficiency. The food was very good and the chalet very clean. Our nanny, Chloe, was also great - our son and daughter loved her.

From start to finish we were made to feel at home . Fantastic service from airport greeting to chalet welcome. Robyn our host has been amazing and her attention to detail is something else and her cooking is fantastic .Nothing a problem and the other hosts Dan and Eddy were also very helpful in making our stay very enjoyable. Would definitely stay with VIP ski again as they really put you first. Thanks for a great week

Transfer great. Location great. Chalet great: super clean, very well stocked, warm and comfortable. Our host Robyn was THE BEST!! Fantastic cook, kind, great to chat to, went above and beyond without being over the top. All you could ask for really. #robynforpresident

Avoriaz is a brilliant location with lots going on in the village. The penthouse proved perfect for our 2 families - 4 adults and 5 children. Spacious and comfortable accomodation across 2 floors. Breathtaking views from every window, right in the centre of everything and ski to door. The bedding, fixtures and fittings all very high quality, super comfortable beds - the sofa cushions don't withstand much sitting on so only niggle would be to get some decent sofas. Fire stick TV's in all rooms except one which was a nice additional touch. Our hosts Freddie and Liv were just the friendliest, most helpful hosts we've ever had. They were brilliant with the kids and nothing was too much trouble. Even on their day off they made it clear they could be contacted for anything and the food they cooked was excellent all week - so much food! Cooked breakfast available every morning, made pancakes for the children every day. The children's menu was all fresh homemade choices as well - nothing convenience or frozen. We have throughly enjoyed every minute of being here and don't want to leave - we will be back! Thank you for a tremendous week.

Great chalet in a fabulous resort. Wonderful food and daily menus, the 3 children in the party were brilliantly accommodated. Nothing was too much trouble for our lovely chalet hosts Max and Sam. Rooms and bathrooms were well appointed, and comfortable.

Stayed for 1 week, with a toddler and a group of family members. I didn't ski myself but the apartment was centrally located making it easy to get around. The hosts were great with my son and even offered to babysit when he didn't enjoy ski school so I could have some time alone! Chalet was great, clean and the food was 5*. Sam and Max really catered to our every need and no request was too big! We will be back next season.

Overall the accommodation was more than adequate, together with the most accomodating chalet staff in the persons of Max and Sam. They were the most perfect couple of staff who proved to be very happy to make our a stay here comfortable and happy on all fronts. The meals we had were a delight and served in a most professional manner. We applaud their efforts and wish them well in their future lives together with VIPs continuing success Again our thanks for a lovely stay Ray Thomas

Sam and Max have been such good fun and absolutely fantastic. Every part of our family trip has been great, their cooking is pretty amazing, they decorated the Penthouse for two birthdays this week and accommodated various dietary needs. Our last day threw a serious curve ball at us which prevented one of our children from returning to the UK under medical grounds and thanks to Max, her fluent French and calm manner, we have a way home. Ps Sam's breakfast pancakes are, according to our kids, the best in the World. We think Sam and Max should be promoted to Resort Managers.

Max & Will delivered a sterling performance for us this year - our 2nd season with VIP. With 8 of us in the Penthouse of which 4 children were aged 6, 7, 8 & 11.....the team met all our needs & surpassed our expectations - especially Max's cooking!!! We used the nanny service for the 1st time - we had Steph - & she made the children's week a magical experience & subsequently fully enhanced the adult's holiday too. The only criticism is that the bedroom TVs don't work but we're assured fire sticks are arriving tomorrow for future guests to enjoy. Well done VIP & thank you Max, Will & Steph!!! We've booked again with VIP for 2019.

The accommodation was fantastic and Jess, Max and Ellie couldn't have been more friendly and helpful! We didn't think it was possible to enjoy a skiing holiday with five children under 8 but VIP SKI managed to deliver one! Couldn't recommend more to anyone with a family! Thanks guys

2 families all first time skiers. This has been a great holiday in all respects. Venue, accommodation, catering and staff were all excellent. Having a ski school outside the front door is fantastic. Varied ski difficulties are all available here. Two great reps who provided first class catering, and were professional, courteous and lovely throughout.

We have been spoiled with wonderful weather, fantastic skiing, wonderful chalet hosting with great food and fabulous hospitality. Miles and Millie could not of been more accommodating of our crazy and chaotic children and embraced their humour and personalities. They have cooked fabulous food, been great hosts and integrated into our family routine very easily. Avoriaz is a fabulous resort for families and VIP have made the holiday SO enjoyable!

As No 3 Penthouse is brand new for the coming season we have no previous guest comments to share at the moment. Of course, we give the chalet 5 stars, but come back later in the year to see what our first guests thought of the chalet and their VIP SKI holiday.
