Alpine Elements - London

Firstly the hosts, Kit and Billy have been truly exceptional. The food has been prepared with care, always enough and cakes for snakes. Fresh fruit and yogurts always available for calorie top ups. The sauna and hot tub have been well used for sore bodies. The chalet is in an excellent position to get to a ski lift and the local shops and restaurants are a 5 minute walk away. I’d defiantly come again. Excellent skiing , superb chalet and top notch hosts. Thank you!

Recently stayed in Chalet Austin in Morzine with Alpine Elements and had such an amazing experience.

I was sceptical, as you have to be so careful booking anything online these days because of scams/false advertisement etc. So when seeing AE website, I was aware of the risks doing my best to make sure everything was legit (which it was). I quickly found a holiday suited for me and my family, so booked.

The process was easy, communication with the company when paying the deposit, remaining balance was good, and their email was very responsive when I asked any and many questions. I had a phone call a few days before leaving and spoke to a member of the AE team who was lovely and wanted to make sure everything was sorted.

We opted for an Alpine Plus Chalet that had catered option. On arrival we had a glass of Prosecco and were warmly welcomed by staff, who helped with luggage from the complimentary transfer. All canapés, meals and desserts were amazing. So tasty. Meals that were filling and hearty, not too fancy that no one likes the food. We had 3 fussy eaters in our party, who had meals altered to their liking (no seasoning/sauces etc). Daisy who was one of our chalet hosts was absolutely amazing, so friendly and really helpful. Our week was made better having her there. As part of the catered option, we had fresh cakes made everyday for afternoon tea, which were always gorgeous and delicious. I wasn’t sure what to expect with having food included with the chalet but I’m so glad we did this!

Transfers were complimentary and easy to find the Reps in the airport. There was a bit of a problem when having the transfer to Morzine, bus didn’t come for 45/1 hr. But the rep was trying his best and it wasn’t his fault for the delay. The transfer back was prompt and ran very smooth, making our travels home less stressful.

My experience with AE was amazing and it has made me very likely to want to book with them again. The chalet was lovely, amazing location with the bus stop right outside (free buses running). We utilised them every day. Just an amazing holiday that I will never forget.

Lovely small hotel, great location, friendly staff and fabulous food.

We had 2 twin rooms on the 2nd floor with a joint balcony overlooking the pool.

The staff were all friendly and attentive. The rooms were basic and small but clean and functional and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The room was a bit dark but otherwise perfect. The whole hotel had a rustic wooden vibe to be expected of a mountain chalet - which was lovely.

I thought it a bit weird that the pool didn’t open til 11am as I normally like a pre breakfast dip, but the manager said he would open it earlier if anyone wanted. As it turned out it’s quite misty, dull and cold first thing up in the mountains so I actually didn’t want a morning dip!

Food - I was so pleasantly surprised by the food. I really wasn’t expecting much, but the chef was excellent. You have 2 choices of starter/main/dessert and they were all, without exception, delicious and beautifully presented.

Booked with Alpine Elements and cannot fault anything at all. We (2 adults/2 teens) really enjoyed the included activities of SUP, white water rafting and high ropes. My husband and kids also enjoyed the canyoning activity (jumping from heights into river!) but I chickened out of that one!

Morzine and the general area are beautiful, and everywhere you go there are stunning views. We highly recommend using the free buses and walking to lakes for swimming. Just be mindful of the buses back from Les Gets if you go there for the (fab) inflatable water park, as the buses are limited - we were nearly stranded!

Overall a fantastic family holiday - and our first “activity” holiday, but definitely not our last as we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.

We’ll be back!

Really poor experience with Alpine Elements last year. The Chalet we stayed at was not representative of the photos that were shown on the website, couples were put in rooms that were clearly design for one person (a second fold out bed that then took up the entire floor place), the food was poor and in general the place was dirty. The staff seemed more concerned with going out to apres ski than taking any interest in our stay. I would strongly advise anyone looking to book their ski trip for the upcoming season to look elsewhere.

I would 100% recommend this company, stayed with them over the summer- the staff were amazing, the food was the best I have had on this type of holiday. the package they put together was very good value of money. I will be booking with them again

We have loved our holiday at Hotel Philibert, part of the Alpine Element group. Staff are brilliant, friendly and knowledgable. Location very good in Morzine, an easy 10 min walk into town and a 15 min walk home given the hillside location
Pool is fab, great to cool off after an energetic day and a lovely place for families to socialise. Food three courses every evening all enjoyable and tasty. Activities good - paddle boarding, high ropes and white water rafting 1/2 days planned in advance by your rep. Activity pass meaning many more activities included for free such as tennis, swimming, disc golf, lift passes, mountain bike hire. Can recommend the two local luges, the one in Les Gets better than the Morzine.
Room for improvement, better wifi (really only works in the bar) and sometimes limited bike availability. Despite this would HIGHLY RECOMMEND (and book early so you get free wine with your evening meal!)

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Alpine Elements' Chalet Elegant in La Plagne for a ski holiday, and it was an incredible experience that exceeded all expectations. I would give this ski holiday and our stay at Chalet Elegant a well-deserved 5-star rating.

One of the highlights of our stay was our amazing Chalet Host, Rosie. She provided us with delicious dinners, breakfasts, and afternoon teas, and even accommodated the vegetarians in our group. Rosie was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.

The Sunday changeover day was also a great benefit as it allowed us a full day of skiing without the crowds on the Saturday. The Chalet is perfectly positioned really close to the ‘Beargie’ ski lift or the Télebus, which connects you with ease to La Plagne Centre where there’s great food and where most ski lessons depart from. This made our access to the ski slopes very convenient, and we were able to make the most of our time on the mountain.

The only flaw in our trip was that our coach was delayed both ways, but this wasn't the fault of Alpine Elements. Despite this minor setback, our group had the perfect ski holiday and we are already looking forward to returning next year. If you're planning a ski holiday, I highly recommend Alpine Elements' Chalet Elegant in La Plagne.

Used Alpine Elements for a summer holiday in the Alps. The booking was easy and I was really impressed with the pre-trip service, even down yo contact before from the resort rep to talk about activities and getting a photo of the meeting place in the airport. Took a lot of the stress out of the holiday. In resort all staff were friendly, knowledgeable and were always present and available. Would highly recommend Apline Elements.
