" Chalet Dolore "

Submitted By: fossie
This Chalet certainly has a quirkly style of architecture - but it is nonetheless comfortable, in a quiet spot and can be skied out from, however a trek back up to its lofty position, which commands good views over the village. The lounge as the previous reviewer noted also views the door of the shared shower and toilet something which you might wish to consider if you are up there. One room is bunk beds one room is a double. I stayed in the double en - suite, which was the only room to have its own bath and toilet - though the single room (which has 2 beds in it) has its own toilet and shower. Our room was compact but comfortable with its own balcony looking over the quiet street at the fromt. The ensuite was a bit dated, but usable, with a short 3/4 bath and a hand shower attachment.
The dining table is in the kitchen and is large enough for the guests, but too large for the kitchen, as it is a squeeze to get into.
Food is excellent as is the free 'unlimited' french wine given with each meal. A good atmosphere and rappour was rapidly built up with the other guests and my wife and I enjoyed our stay there. All in all - a very good deal for what was offered - 4 star food. Breakfast was the usual alpine cereals, yoghurts, bread and jam. And every morning the chalet host cooked a cooked breakfast of 3 hot items from the usual bacon, egg, mushrooms, hash browns and so on. Dinner was 3 splendid courses served at 7:30 pm.

Advice: A great ski location - in a purpose built resort

" Booked the Chalet Delores through... "

Submitted By: Hoffy
Booked the Chalet Delores through Igluski and Crystal for the week prior to Xmas. Thought that anyone going to the Chalet should know that it is a little cramped - certainly if it is at max capacity of 11 persons. The double and triple rooms upstaris share a WC and shower. Unfortunately you are in full view of the lounge as you step from your room. Some of the beds require new springs as they sag to make sleeping particularly difficult. Chalet could also do with a TV/DVD/Video for evening entertainment.

Apart from that the Chalet is fine. Rob the 'house-person' is fab. His cooking is excellent.

Ski from the door is certainly possible but returning in the evening requires a 10 minute trek up the hill.

Would I go back? If I could guarantee snow and weather conditions to be as good I would return next week. Happy skiing!
