The food cooked by James is absolutly top notch!! The other staff, Callum, Charlotte and Amy are also excellent! The chalet is clean and warm, except the hot tub which... read more doesnt hold much more than 35 degrees. I was picked up and dropped off at...More

  I stayed with Cold Fusion in Morzine, sharing with a friend. The group we had was great and the service from the chalet host and chef was outstanding. The food... read more really was exceptional. The room, however, was very disappointing, especially for the price (£2,200 between us for room and board for the week). As you can see from the pictures, our room opened into the lounge, a few feet from where everyone sat and socialised (the pic of the dining table is taken from our doorway). It had zero sound proofing. We were woken 6ish each morning (even using ear plugs) when the chef came in to prepare breakfast (the kitchen backed onto our room) and was unavoidably banging around with crockery and pans etc, then couldn’t sleep until the last person had gone to bed. The front door was also directly next to our door, which meant more disturbance throughout the night. While I am a late night person and used to noise living in central London, it became exhausting when there was no choice to get rest. Others would stay up late some nights, then retreat early other nights to recover, but we had no possibility of doing that. The owner’s solution to this was to announce to everyone at the start of the holiday that, as the chalet was small, people should be mindful of noise. Obviously, this doesn’t work - people book a chalet holiday to socialise in the chalet and so clearly there will be noise late at night if one of the rooms is directly onto the only living space and not soundproofed.
The bedroom itself was very small. The door to the balcony wouldn’t open as one bed was in the way, and the bathroom door also couldn’t open fully due to the proximity of the other bed. Our beds were less than an arm stretch apart.
Had it been a budget break, I would have understood, but for the price we paid, I felt it was very poor. We paid the same price as everyone else in the chalet and yet the other rooms were totally different - much more private, away from the noise and significantly larger. Had I been in another room, I would have been very happy and given the holiday 5 stars. So although I would recommend the holiday overall in a decent room, I would suggest checking what room you will have as the one we had really did interfere with our enjoyment. We wouldn’t have booked it had we been pre-warned and we would have moved accommodation had there been any other availability in Morzine.

  I and my young daughter came for the Single Parents week and it worked really well. All the kids (and adults!) got on famously and had a wonderful time. We... read more were also able to pool together and get the kids private tuition when the ski school failed to impress. The staff were great - really welcoming and up for fun with the kids - including karaoke and an easter egg hunt - Thanks Liam, Hannah and Vicky!! And when I managed to injure myself Steve and the team stepped in when needed with extra lifts and help dealing with insurance paperwork etc. I can highly recommend the single parents week if you want to take your child(ren) skiing alone.

  Just had the most fabulous week of adventure in Chamonix in the summer with my 10-year old son.
There were 3 other single parents with their children (10 of... read more us in total) and we all got on really well and will definitely keep in touch.
The activities included rock climbing, high trees, mountain biking, white water rafting (all the kids favourite), day at lake Passy.
We also did parapenting, some hiking, swimming, visited the glacier & the ice caves and even took the kids clubbing.
All of us pushed ourselves mentally as well as physically and there was lots of laughter along the way.
Steve and Nicky were excellent hosts, transporting us wherever we wanted to go, feeding us really well & just made our holiday special. I can’t recommend this holiday enough and I’m sure we’ll return next year.
