Chalets Mona Lisa, Puy-Saint-Vincent 1600

Advantages: Ski in, ski out,
Disadvantages: In the middle of nowhere

...My wife and I stayed with some friends at Chalet Isis in the Chalets de l'Altiport area of Alpe D'Huez 1850 in March 08. We booked through skialacarte. The altiport chalets are all pretty new and are in a gated community situated over the road from the small airport, and about 600 metres from the Les Bergers part of Alpe D'Huez, with the main town a few hundred metres further away. Access was via Grenoble International Airport St Geoirs - 99 kms away and the private transfer by the chalet staff took 1 hour 25 minutes. The chalet sleeps 16 and the rest of the rooms were occupied by other guests. Each room had private ensuite facilities apart from one of the rooms on the ground floor which had a shower and WC room which was also the facility for people using the sauna. Nobody using the sauna ever used this room as far as we could see... Read review

Advantages: Great location, close to Oban, but feels like you are miles from town!
Disadvantages: If you have 3 kids you will need to use the sofa bed/s.

...Great location, lovely and quiet and if you have a dog there are excellent walks from the chalet. We've been several times and have always found the chalets clean and comfortable. The Barn is a great place for a drink and to meet locals and other guests. The kids love the playpark and the freedom they get when we stay. We have never found our chalets damp and we have stayed in several different ones. Cant say that for the weather - which is often wet so take your wellies. Don't let that put you off. This place is still a good family holiday even in the rain. Friendly staff, pets are welcome - but you can't take them into the pub any more - which is a shame but blame health and hygene. I'd recommend Cologin - and have done to many families. None have come home disappointed - quite the opposite.... Read review
