Summit View, Garda Suite

Garda Suite was the perfect home from home for our party of two couples, two four-year-olds, a two-year-old and a one-year-old. The three double rooms, one with cosy bunk beds tucked behind a curtain, housed us without issue, and the chalet is warm, spacious, comfortable, and well equipped with a selection of children's toys, cots, high chairs, baby monitors, plastic cutlery, entertainment, and lacquered fruit ornaments. The location is perfect and right by the ski lifts, and the ski boot room is peerless. Chalet host Hannah is an organisational whirlwind and general superstar - flexible with awkward child (or adult!) eating habits and meal timings, and produced an epic succession of delicious meals, cakes and free-flowing wine to send us home 10kg heavier. The kids were delighted to be left with Faye and Lorna, who looked after them with creativity and imagination, coming up with various fun activities to keep them entertained. They also babysat on Hannah's evening off. Manager Ben popped in regularly and was happy to help with restaurant bookings, activities and other queries. Superb holiday - thanks all!

Love La Plagne ski in ski out access. Hannah, chalet host, excellent. Really accommodating chef and handled all dietaries very well (no nuts, gluten and no fish!) Apartment next door were having a party one night, woke up the children. Jo rang the resort manager and they handled it right away. Top efficiency from VIP staff. Overall amazing holiday and all VIP staff were great.

An absolutely fabulous week of skiing in La Plagne with a nice dump of snow first day, followed by sun sun and more sun! Accommdation in Garda suite is described as ski in ski out and it absolutely lives up to that claim! Very comfortable accommdation and Hannah does an excellent job at keeping it looking its best. Only issue is the piste bashers which might keep you awake as it really is piste side! Hannah is an absolute rock star and has produced really excellent food across breakfast, afternoon tea and evening dinner. She is absolutely on the ball, flexible and looks after all her guests. Great job! It has been 9 years since our last ski holiday and that was with VIP ski. You have not lost your touch. Superb holiday and all we can say is thanks to all at VIP ski from booking through to Ben and the team in La Plagne. Nothing was ever too much effort and really we cannot fault our week.

Fabulous resort for family and beginner skiing with lots of wide quiet blue runs. Chalet location was amazing and made logistics with children so easy, contributing to a very relaxing family holiday. Food was delicious and plentiful and everyone was very friendly.

Thanks so much - again - for the 5* service with the VIP team. This is our second year with VIP and we are delighted that it lived up to the brilliant service we got last year. Lucy was our host this year and she managed to keep us all fed and watered and organised. And my 3.5 year old son seemed to polish off every morsel of food she lovingly prepared :-) And thanks to the management team for getting our Nanny, Billie, from last year - back to look after our son again this year. He had great fun with her every afternoon after his ski school. Looking forward to booking again for next year.

Absolutely excellent our chalet host Lucy was superb - food was excellent she looked after everything and most importantly was great with out kids who are 3 and 4 - she really made our stay excellent - location of chalet is perfect and John and his team looked after everything - thank you for a great holiday and a stress free experience when skiing for the first time with young kids - well done Lucy and team

This is our 3rd VIPSKI holiday, the second time we have been to La Plagne and the first time we've been skiing as a sole family without being part of a larger group. All we can say is the VIP experience has been maintained and we've had an amazing and relaxing time, in no small measure due to the warm, attentive service provided by our chalet host, Milo. We have been blessed with fresh snow and sunny skies on the slopes and an effortless stay in The Garda Suite. Our every need has been met and Milo has been ever flexible and accommodating, whether amending meal times, providing alternative menu choices our accepting all the 'help' our 9yr old daughter wanted to offer. We have also been thoroughly impressed with the resort manager Ben, who was professional, courteous and welcoming. Superb- we will be back. On a final note, our daughter has Downs Syndrome and requires specialist adaptive ski lessons. We have previously skied in Verbier and when VIPSKI pulled out of Switzerland post Brexit, they worked with us to identify a suitable alternative. 'Manuella' at Oxygene ski school has been execellent, forming a real bond with Erin, ensuring she had fun, was safe and her skiing progressed amazingly.

The apartment location is spot on, ski-in,ski-out and a few minutes walk (albeit a bit uphill) to the nearest lift. Very accessible to the ski rental shop and the ski school starting point. There is a cafe and a restaurant directly under the apartment so if a member of the group does not ski or is not well it is very easy to meet for coffee, lunch etc. The laterally arranged apartment itself has tremendous views out onto the slopes from all the rooms so great for watching the activity on the snow outside. The open living and kitchen area is wonderfully sociable for a family group and makes it ideal for interacting with each other and the chalet hosts. Bedrooms and bathrooms are not luxurious but they are perfectly functioning. Plenty of hanging space and a very sensibly positioned bench at the door for getting in and out of outdoor shoes! Our hosts for the week were Milo and Hannah, a terrific double act! They were extremely helpful, obliging, engaging and very amusing, all six of us enjoyed them enormously. Food was varied, well cooked and nicely presented every evening. We had a vegetarian and some fussy eaters with us and they did a great job of satisfying everyones' requirements. Breakfast was served very efficiently in the morning to get us all out on the slopes by 9am! Wine was perfectly drinkable with a good selection and the addition of a bottle of champagne on a couple of evenings was greatly appreciated. Coming back on the hosts' day off to find the dining table cleaned off by Ben (Resort Manager) was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. If there was one criticism it has to be our arrival at Grenoble Airport. There were no trollies in the baggage area and to get your stuff to the bus, without a trolley when you have a bag, a ski bag and a boot bag is not easy. The meet and greet on the day we arrived seemed somewhat chaotic all round. Much better on our departure when we were greeted from the bus by VIP Ski staff bearing trolleys. We would highly recommend this holiday for a family group.

We are struggling to fault our week! The service even before we arrived was top notch - a call from resort the day before we arrived was a nice touch. The accommodation is ideal - great layout and spotless. Obviously the location couldn't be better and we were pretty fortunate with the ski conditions. The children's ski school worked well for our 11 and 6 year olds. Special mentions must go to our nanny (Liv) and chalet host (Jaya) who really made our holiday. Utterly professional and easy to be around, the children took to them and they couldn't do enough to make our trip perfect. Jaya's culinary skills are first rate. Already thinking about which VIP ski chalet we'll be booking next year!!

Great ski holiday, lovely chalet! Location fantastic - so easy with kids. Jaya, our chalet host, was brilliant, we haven't wanted for anything this week. She's a great cook, was lovely with our children and the chalet was kept spotless, she worked very hard to ensure we all had a great holiday, nothing was too much trouble. We've been with VIP lots of times before and she's definitely been the best host we've had, and we've had some good ones! She's very knowledgable about the resort (and skiing in general) which was really helpful and a real bonus, she's so bubbly and friendly and made us feel so relaxed. In addition, our nanny, Liv, was brilliant! Our 2 daughters adored her and our only problem was that they wanted to stay with her rather than ski!! They were quite upset each evening after she left. She was very clean and tidy and clearly had a good rapport with the chalet hosts. Thank you VIP for a lovely week in La Plagne! We'll definitely be back!

Three generations of the family aged between 1 yr and 63 yrs have had a fantastic I time in La Plagne. Excellent chalet with great facilities. Jaya has been great, very friendly and helpful, and a very good cook. Rachel, Hannah and Liv have done a great job looking after the children and organising lots of fun activities for them. Thinking about feedback for the future, after three great trips to the chalet, it would be great to see a few changes to the menu (for example the belly pork), but overall the food has been great. Would also have been nice to have croissants / pain au chocolate on the chalet girl's day off. But really pleased and hopefully we will be back.

We have had a fantastic holiday. The chalet is very comfortable and the food has been excellent. Tamsin and Amelia have been fabulous hosts. We arrived with five grandchildren in tow (all under 6 years old) and we have been extremely impressed with the childcare and Natalie and Lilly have been amazing and gone beyond what we could have expected. The children have been well looked after and enjoyed every moment of their holiday which included skiing, tobogganing and cooking, diaries and sending cards home. This has enabled us to have the best holiday ever. We hope to return in the future. The Hawkey family.

Our stay with chalet host Amelia was fabulous. The weather was not the best but our stay was made superb with food and service of the highest degree. I would have no hesitation in booking with VIP again and will recommend to everyone.

VIP gave us another wonderful holiday with the children. Amelia took great care of us in the chalet, anticipating all of our needs. The little ones had a great week with Megan, filled with fun. For next year, I would love to see some simpler dinners, Soups with salad for example. Also, there is so much food, with too much waste. For anyone travelling with children, VIP, is the only way to go!

From the moment we arrived at Geneva airport, VIP Ski certainly lived up to their name. The chalet was lovely and in a great location. Our host, Amelia, went above and beyond what I expected. All of the VIP staff we met were helpful at all times of the day and really friendly. All the food menus served were outstanding and better than the food we ate at restaurants.

Just FAB all round. Great chalet so close to everything....Jo is the bestest of hosts, hot chocs in the morning, lovely breakfasts, yummy cakes in the afternoon and amazing food in the evenings... Would recommend it all to anyone...

Lovely holiday. AMAZING nanny. Great chalet, perfect location.

Really couldn't have asked for more from our family skiing holiday. The mountains in La Plagne are spectacular. Big views and great runs. The skiing conditions also couldn't have been better - we were lucky enough to have both sun and lots of fresh powder. We hadn't been to the French Alps for several years, and we're really impressed with how friendly and charming the service in all the bars and restaurants has been, without exception. VIP are very well organised and cheerful. All the little touches confirm why you would chose them for a ski holiday. Jo, our chalet host has been great. Very cheerful and a really welcoming host. Not only has she provided delicious food, but also has pampered us all week. Thank you Jo and thank you Tina, Chris and VIP. A lovely and memorable break. As this form doesn't have an obvious place for recommendations, I will add one now. Not being permitted to take a ski boot bag as well as hold baggage wasn't expected or welcome on a ski holiday. A trade-off between clothes and boots was more difficult for some of our party than others!

We were looked after very well during our stay at the Chalet in a homely atmosphere. The chalet is well laid out and close to the slopes. I thought the food was excellent every night as were the cakes on our return from skiing.

We had a fantastic week in La Plagne. It was our first time to this resort and we would definitely return. It was an ideal resort for the family due to the location of the accommodation as well as access to plenty of gentle, wide slopes for the children. There was still plenty more challenging skiing for other members of our group and the option to ski over to les Arcs. The Garda Suite was great - spacious for the six of us, tastefully decorated and to top it off it was in a prime location. We could see the children at ski school from our living room & balcony! As always with VIP Ski the food and wine was of a very high standard. We had a superb nanny for the week, our children had the most wonderful time and are already asking when we can go back!

Just had a great week at the Garda Suite in La Plagne. Ellie was our chalet host and was truly lovely. I am a problem guest as I am gluten intolerant, however this was never an issue. The food was gorgeous - we suggested that the recipes should be available on the website so we can have a VIP dinner party at home! Thank you to Ellie and the VIP team. Snow was excellent and La Plagne was a fantastic resort.

We have had a fantastic week. The chalet was great - fabulous location; great living space; delicious food; lovely chalet host. There is literally nothing we can fault. We will be back without a doubt.

Our holiday was fantastic! We knew we would not be disappointed with the amazing location of VIP in La Plagne - we had wanted to stay in Summit View for several years! All staff were brilliant, professional, well presented, courteous and constantly helpful. We genuinely don't think we could have asked for a better Resort Manager or Chalet Host in Tina and Ellie respectively - nothing was ever too much trouble and the food was of a constant high standard. We will be back - thank you everyone!
