Skifahren vor der Haustür eines 'Postkarten-Skiort' in der Schweiz.

This is a spacious apartment on the upper floor of a medium-sized chalet-style apartment building. Access is also possible by an elevator. The pictures do the apartment justice.

Contact with the owner went very smooth. He reacted to our e-mails within hours. He sent us the key well before our holiday.

The apartment suited us fine and having the ease of ski-in ski-out was a true benefit for our group. There were large lockers for skiboots and skis.

The bedrooms weren't very large but had enough room in the closets for our stuff. We thought the beds were very comfortable.

The kitchen was well equipped. The kitchen was also equipped with a microwave-oven and an extra, large, freezer. View from the balcony was indeed breathtaking.

Wifi connection was very good!

The parking garage was very much appreciated especially with all the snow that fell during our stay.

We thought the bathroom with the tub would benefit from a suspension for the shower head and a shower curtain so that it’s possible to take a shower there as well.

We had to provide for the end-cleaning ourselves, which puts quite some stress upon the day of departure and also off course there is always the risk that the guests before you don't have the same standards as you have. We'd very much prefer the end-cleaning to be taken care of professionally (and off course we'd pay extra for that).

A useful suggestion for future guests is that the little store (a 5 minutes walk up the road, next to the Alpadze Lou Kra hotel) is opened 7/7 from 8:00 - 20:00 and has great fresh bread. They do not sell a lot of other stuff so it's still advised to stock up well before arriving.

We thought the personnel in neighbouring restaurant “Le Virage” were quite grumpy when we went to drink some coffee there (they plainly refused to make cappucino even when they had all the equipment to make it) so we didn’t bother eating there.

We liked restaurant “Le Poussin” a lot and it’s not much of a walk there (just walk up the road and after you've passed the Alpadze Lou Kra hotel on your right hand, you see a parking lot at your left hand, cross that parking lot and at the end is "Le Poussin": max 10 mins).

The skiing area itself is off course very well-known. Off course Champoussin isn't as centrally located as Avoriaz or Les Crosets but the benefit is that there's never a big crowd.

All in all this apartment lived up to our expectations and offers good value for money. We’d consider coming back!

We have stayed in this amazing Penthouse twice this year, Skiing in late March and for a walking holiday during Half term in October 2014.

Champoussin in Winter is a stunning ski location the scenery is breathtaking with a wonderful view of the Dent du Midi across the valley. We have never stayed in an Apartment so close to the slopes, you can even watch the children on the Nursery slope from the Balcony. The convenience of skiing in and out of the apartment has become a must for any future holidays.

Champussin is just as stunning in Autumn with the colours changing. There are literally hundreds of hiking trails, especially around the Dents Du Midi. Mountain Biking is easy straight out of the front door with special mountain bike routes nearby.

We loved the high ceilings and the spacious huge open plan kitchen living room. The kids enjoyed the big T.V . All 3 bedrooms are generous in size and 2 bathrooms add to the luxury. We will be booking next year as the Portes Du Soleil ski area is so large, we only managed to cover the Swiss side in March.

Wir habe uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Sie bietet ausreichend Platz für 8 Personen. Die Ausstattung ist hochwertig. Durch 2 Tiefgaragenstellplätze und der Fahrstuhlverbindung direkt zur Wohnung ist das Ein- und Ausladen einfach und bequem. Die Aussicht aus dem Wohnzimmerfenster ist atemberaubend. Die Wohnungsausstattung hat uns sehr gut gefallen und die Skipisten sind nur wenige Schritte entfernt. Alle Einrichtung wie Skiverleih, Restaurants und ein kleiner Laden sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr angenehm, unproblematisch und informativ. Wir kommen gern wieder.
