Les Hauts Bois Apartments

3 readers found this review helpful

Operator: We have booked our ski holiday accommodation with Erna Low for the past 6 years and have never been disappointed.
Accommodation: For 5 of the 6 years we have booked MGM apartments which are incredibly good value and the best accommodation we have stayed in while on ski holidays.
Beautifully decorated in Alpine Style, they are incredibly clean and much more spacious than your average ski accommodation. They also all have 'spa' facilities with pool (be aware they are heated to French standards - pretty nippy in comparison with British heated pools) and saunas/steam rooms. You generally get a voucher to use once and then pay local rates - not too bad.
The last one we stayed at, les Hauts Bois, proved just as good as previous MGM accommodation we have used. Right on the Piste - a short run down a blue from the ski lockers to the lift then from there very easy to get across the whole La Plagne area.
Also easy to get to supermarket in resort to buy provisions and very good cooking facilities at the apartments.
Ski Terrain: LOTS for all ages and abilities and because it is the highest you can stay at this resort, and pretty high for the Alps in general, the snow was still excellent in April 2006 (1st-8th). Easy to get to different resorts within the area, all with good restaurants to stop for lunch, at regular Alpine prices so not cheap but generally affordable.
Aime 2000: Quite a small resort with few restaurants but good links, both ski and cable car for the evenings, to La Plagne. Not really a 'party' resort but good if you like eating out and generally the company of friends rather than clubbing/pubbing.
All staff at the accommodation were very friendly and helpful. We always try to speak French when we can but there was an English person working there and most of the French staff speaks good English.
It's actually nice when you find one that doesn't as it's a good opportunity to try out your French and do something to redeem the general view held of the English that we assume everyone should speak our language!
