Ian Gardner - 'Teachers' from Wales - August 2009
Thanks for a great week with Darren and Tracy (Alpinebreaks) at Chalet Lac Du Vonnes. Our party of 5 had a fantastic weeks mountain biking from the Chalet, the perfect position to explore the Portes Du Soleil mountain bike area. Chatel is an unspoilt village which does not have the man made feel of Morzine and Les Gets and it certainly doesn't have the lift queues. As for the Chalet, Darren and Tracy were the perfect host and hostess, always friendly and welcoming with nothing to much trouble for them. The food was excellent all week and wine was also free flowing with every evening meal. The location of the Chalet in Chatel was fantastic, just 10 min walk from the centre of the village and opposite the stunning lake. Views from the balcony were also breathtaking. The Chalet was kept spotless by Tracy all week despite the best efforts of five men after a days mountain biking. I would recommend this Chalet to anyone in both the summer and winter seasons (I've skied this area three times and its fantastic) and the group of us will definitely visit again in the future. Thanks again for a fantastic week
Alan O'Riordan and the Guys from Shropshire - August 2009
It's no mean feat keeping 5 hairy men fed, "watered" and occupied with superb XC and Downhill Mountain Biking, but you passed with flying colours! Many thanks for being such flexible hosts and for helping to make our 2009 holiday the best yet.
Mike, Amanda, Christopher & Stephen John Family - August 2009
Thanks for a Fab Holiday, we had been struggling to find holidays that would keep our two teenage sons occupied.
We have taken them as far as Sydney & Brisbane (bodyboarding & surfing) but they announced after the first day in Chatel that this was the best holiday that they had ever had ! Thanks to Darren for the fabulous Mountain Bike guiding and thanks to Tracy for making us so welcome in a fabulous chalet." Darren is now a legend in our househould (even though he had a small "off" and got slightly injured) I can thoroughly reccommend this as a "Family Holiday" Many Thanks, Mike & Amanda
Steve Wass, Trevor and Paul - July 2009
Just a short note to say thanks to one of the most enjoyable mountain bike holidays. You both work together like clock work to give your guests the best time & as for the cooking, we all would recommend highly. Thanks again, we are sure we will see you again in the very near future.
Guy Hadfield - July 2009
I would just like to say a Big Thank you for the great break. Having been around a few different resorts in France, I found the trails and guiding you provided to be far better than any other could offer. The chalet and food was also superb....Nice one!

The perfect hosts who made us most incredibly welcome, which added to the whole experience. Both Jamie and myself have spent alot of time in European resorts, chalets and other accommodation and rated your genuine hospitality and set up as the top of the pack !

"Came with a group of 6 mates and was made most welcome by Darren and Tracy. Was on the Fully Catered Package and the food was first class. The Chalet was clean and homely and Darren and Tracy always on hand if we needed anything. A great base for anyone to come Mountain Biking"
