Testimonials

This was my second early season trip to Val d'Isere with VIP and is always an excellent opportunity to enjoy the resort before the prices rise and the crowds arrive. The conditions were exceptionally good with tonnes of fresh snow which always helps! As before, we made a last minute booking which was excellent value and everything went like clockwork throughout the trip. The flights and transfers all turned out to be fantastic, with minimal waiting time, especially on the way back via Grenoble and the BA charter flight. The team in the resort were all super helpful, with Imogen going out of her way to look after us throughout our stay. Aspen is ideally located if you want to be right in the centre of the Val d'Isere action, though I guess it might be a bit hectic at busier times in the season. It's next door to a fantastic baker if you want to pick up snacks to take up to the mountains. Mulberry Suite 8 was as lovely as it looked in the pictures, and definitely the nicest space at the top of the Lodge. We've stayed at Club Bellevarde on the edge of town in the past which is also lovely, with the advantage of having a pool/spa area and ski in/out if there's plenty of snow. The 'Club' option (at Aspen or Bellevarde) also has the advantage of a trained chef with a more professional catering setup and choice of menu, so that's worth bearing in mind if food is a big factor. The rooms in Aspen are bigger than Bellevarde with great views of La Face and the interiors are all really nicely designed, though the mattresses are feeling a tad tired.. All in all, a great trip and I'd definitely recommend VIP for great value high quality early season skiing.

This is our second holiday with VIP Ski and we were just as impressed as the first time. From the personal touch during the booking process to the assistance at our departure airport, VIP are on the ball. Their staff are young,dedicated and professional throughout. Our chalet hosts, Libby and Emily were new to the roll yet performed as seasoned professionals. This may be testament to VIPs selection and training but Libby and Emily excelled. The food they prepared was to a very high standard and chalet was always immaculate. The most important aspect of chalet ski holidays however is simply this, The chalet staff need to make that chalet feel like your home for the duration of you stay. You need to feel totally relaxed in a friendly atmosphere. You should feel that you can approach the staff at any time and with any reasonable request or question. When you return from a days skiing, it should really feel like you are home. Hats off to Emily and Libby for all this and more. I must also mention VIPs team of resort drivers. The most helpful, polite and professional drivers that you could wish for. We always felt totally safe in their hands and nothing was to much trouble. I would highly recommend using VIP Ski if you are looking for that special memory.

This is our 5th VIP holiday, and second to Club Bellevarde, so there is a potential for familiarity and finding faults that we previously failed to see. But I am very happy to say we had a fantastic week, good snow & weather helps, but without a doubt the VIP team made us feel welcomed and valued. The team were all friendly, some more shy than others but all friendly with a smile & a wave. Food was overall excellent, the Thai Curry needs some work, one out of six main courses is a dam good hit rate. The chalet is large and comfortable, and you can find fault if you want to but if you are looking for one you will always find it. But the team worked hard and as a party of seven, we walked away very happy and would have no issue with booking VIP again. Next time it would be nice to have a lighter red wine available, a Pinot Noir or Beaujolais, but that's a personal preference and not something the team on site can change.

Fab time with brilliant Abi

Very comfortable chalet. Excellent host-Imogen . Very conveniently situated chalet , close to lifts and town centre. Only bad points : need kindling and fire lighters to get fire going and tissues in the room would be appreciated.

Fabulous chalet in the centre of Val d'Isere. Cosy, log fire, close to the slopes. Food was marvellous. Imogen (our host) looked after us very well. Cups of tea in the morning were most welcome. Thank you!!!!! 

A really nice chalet but the fire needs kindling and fire lighters. Our chalet host Imogen was absolutely fantastic .she made the post skiing experience really great.

Great service, all the staff were exceptionally friendly and professional. Food was of the highest quality. Perfect. No complaints to be made.

Large well appointed chalet for 24 with easy access to the slopes. Our room was comfortable with modern en suite bathroom. The food was excellent and the hostesses did all they could to make our stay enjoyable. Their cheerful approach contributed to the great atmosphere all week. Everything was well organised. It was great that if necessary we could have a lift in a VIP van. We would highly recommend a stay at Chalet Bellevarde Club.

Great food, staff were kind and accommodating, food, drinks etc all on time and delicious. Quick to sort any issues.
