Vue exceptionnelle sur la chaine du Mont-Blanc
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Pierre et Catherine. Leur chalet, dont la description est conforme à l'annonce, est excellement placé pour admirer le mont-blanc. Le chalet est situé en plein cœur de la station de plaine-joux, au départ de plusieurs pistes de randonnée, et très proche de plusieurs activités de plein air (Parapente, équitation, Camping, accrobranches, .). Pierre a toujours été prompt à répondre à nos questions et soucieux que nous passions un très bon séjour. Nous recommandons ce lieu si vous souhaitez profiter pleinement de toutes les joies de la montagne.

Magnifique séjour
Magnifique semaine de ski passée à La Povotte. Le chalet est très bien équipé et on a manqué de rien. Les propriétaires sont disponibles et ont eu de petites attentions pour notre arrivée qui nous ont fait plaisir. La terrasse ensoleillée est très agréable mais le gros plus est le départ et le retour ski au pied. La station est idéale pour toute la famille et une fois les pistes fermées on se retrouve seuls au monde sans aucuns bruits autour. Nous avons passé un super séjour et recommandons cette location.

Geweldig uitzicht!
Knusse, van alle gemaken voorziene chalet, met uitzicht op de Mont Blanc. Ligt op een plateau met 3 restaurants een camping en een paraglider school. Veel wandelaars overdag, s'nachts is het doodstil. Vriendelijke eigenaar die graag een praatje maakt en je goede tips kan geven. Volop wandelmogelijkheden in de buurt, van kort tot lang, van makkelijk tot moelijk. Voor de vogelaars: er vliegen in het gebied zowel lammer als vale gieren en steenarenden. Goed vertrekpunt voor uitje naar de aiguille du midi (let op! Op tijd reserveren).
