Das Haus ist wirklich toll. Ein altes Schweizer Holzhaus. Echt urig. Nicht so toll ist die Belegung mit mehr als ca. 5 Personen, da die Schlafzimmer doch sehr eingeschränkt sind. Alles in allem aber ein schönes Haus.
We had a wonderful time in this charming Chalet.The kitchen is spaceous and very well equipped. Especially the big dining table was perfect for our 7-people -group. Hikingtours to the Lac de Chavonnes and Col de la croix are starting directly in La Forclaz. A daytrip to Montreux and good wifi were the highlights our teenage daughters. Very easygoing check-in and check-out.
Die Küche ist super ausgestattet, wir haben irgendwann alles gefunden :) hatten viel Spaß und eine gute Familienzeit. Ich glaube nur im Winter wäre es mir zu kalt.

Le descriptif du chalet ne correspond pas à la réalité. Le rapport qualité prix n’est pas adéquat.
Chalet poussiéreux et certaines parties sales. Problèmes d’écoulement. Certaines chambres ne correspondent pas à ce que l’on attend.
La publicité parle d’un chalet de luxe alors que nous sommes bien loin de cette notion. Matériel vieux, couettes tachées, etc. Nous avons l’impression d’avoir été trompé et nous demandons un remboursement de 20% du montant de location.
Liebevoll und mit viel Geschmack und Details renoviertes historisches Chalet. Lage abgelegen in einem schönen alten Dörfchen abseits der Touristenströme und in wunderschöner Berglandschaft. 3 gute Skigebiete per Auto problemlos erreichbar. Einkaufen nur auswärts, also etwas Vorrat mitnehmen ( und Schneeketten).
Wer es ruhig und gemütlich mag ist hier bestens aufgehoben.
Von den 4 Schlafräumen haben nur 2 Türen, 2 nur Vorhänge zum Abtrennen, daher eher für Kinder geeignet. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und die charmante urige Atmosphäre des Hauses und Dorfes genossen. Vielen Dank!!! Sicher auch im Sommer eine sehr schöne Destination! Der Sitzplatz hinter dem Haus in der Sonne war auch im Winter top!
Super chalet dans un village tranquille et reposant.
Idéal pour les familles ou grands groupes, avec tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un agréable séjour.
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans ce magnifique chalet d’époque les petits soucis au niveau électrique (disjonction du compteur) et une fuite d’eau le dernier jour ne nous ont pas empêché de profiter de ce magnifique environnement et l’aide de la gérante extrêmement gentille et disponible a été très bien appréciée
Eine sehr gemütliche Hütte. Wir waren zwei Familien mit insgesamt 5 Kindern und hatten ausreichend Platz. Es gab auch Schlitten im Keller die wir dann auch ausgiebig auf dem Schlittenhügel im Ort genutzt haben. Für jemanden der Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit mag ein Traum.
Sehr gemutlich, ruhig, schone natur. Alles ist dabei, mann kann kochen und duschen usw.

This place has so much character. It's so cozy. We were there in the spring when there was still a lot of snow on the mountains while down in the valley it almost felt like summer. Outside of the house there is an amazing view of the mountain range and a little creek running down just in front of the house. It's a real romantic place but also one that our kids enjoyed very much. It was fantastic in the cold using the nice fireplace between the kitchen and the living room. I could imagine that it would be very nice in the spring or summer as well. la Forclaz is a very small and quiet mountain village with very friendly natives. It's the perfect place to just get away and relax.
