Hi all has anyone stayed at the chalets des dolines in Montgenevre? I think they were only open this year. We have booked to stay there this January after staying in le hameau Des airelles the year before. Saw them being built so thought we would give them a try. Any info would be good cheers

How did you like the hameau Des airelles? I thought about them for this year but was put off as i heard it wasnt great for customer service

They were poor and misserable on service and also tried to con us on paying an extra fee for our room to be ready when we arrived. Because we arrived before official check in time they said the room could be made ready sooner if we paid €10 each( four of us) we said we would wait and put our luggage in the holding room and go for a beer untill check in time. As we were about to leave for a bar miraculously our room was ready! So we moved our bags up then went to the bar. Staff not too friendly but room was pleasant enough and nice and handy for ski in ski out.

We had a tour of the place (Chalet des Dollines) in the spring. NICE - pricey by nice.

Glad to hear they look nice weren't too pricey for us we book through GoMontgenevre a small family run firm out there and with accommodation lift pass superior ski and boot hire transfer from Turin and flights with British airways including parking at airport it came to £600 pp

Blondy - £600 for everything sounds very cheap to me!

That was self-catering surely? It usually costs us more like £1000 each, by the time we've paid for everything (mind you that does include group lessons all week).
