Chalet Enchanteur Guestbook

Wilkie, Newcastle: New Year at Chalet Enchanteur

My party of 10, made up of two families, including 6 in their early/mid twenties, have just returned from this newly built luxurious chalet. It was everything we hoped it would be and was entirely accurate in its descriptions of the accomodation and facilities available.

The views from most of the windows, as well as the hot tub, are stunning across the valley to Sion and up towards Crans Montana.

The Food was simply superb and the Chef Sam and chalet host Toby go out of their way to accomodate guest requests whenever they can. They even joined in on some days skiing with us and socialising in the Cactus bar, the best apres ski bar in Haute Nendaz, which is only a 3 minute walk away downhill. They organised in chalet massage and made a special effort to celebrate a birthday for one of our party, as well as making new years eve a truly memorable evening.

The ski lift in the village is a 10 minute walk away with ski boots on but the chalet hosts dropped us off and picked us up each day so that we didn't have to struggle with all the ski gear which is a little more difficult going back up the hill to the chalet. ( a small price to pay for the fantastic views).

We only ate out one evening on the staff night off and couldn't recommend the restaurant we chose, it wasn't a patch on the food we had become used to in the chalet. As its new, the owner and hosts will in time build up a picture of restaurants to recomend.

The snow conditions across the 4 vallees were excellent, they've had snow there since October so its a long season, and the skiing across towards Verbier was particularly good as it benefits from the sun all day and has lots of varied runs.

The village is lovely with lots going on and it will suit all age groups as well as non skiers with little cafe's, bars and restaurants.

The owner was a pleasure to deal with and went out of her way, as did the staff, to ensure we had a fantastic holiday which we duly did.

I will definitely return and would recommend this property to anyone.
