LUMA

Le charme d’un vieux chalet et une situation exceptionnelle! Calme!

Des stores pour la véranda en été seraient appréciés, ça chauffe!

Amplasamentul.

Ruim, comfortabel huisje. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Dichtbij de halte van de skibus. Die met de code van Jean Daniel gratis is. We hebben een fijne tijd gehad.

Met 7 personen op de WiFi trekt hij niet.

As we like to have our summer holidays in a quiet and peaceful setting, we were lucky to have found the chalet Luma rented by Jean-Daniel. At first we could not believe that chalet Luma would be available to us alone with all the listed facilities, but it all turned out to be true and better than expected. Before we arrived Jean-Daniel provided us with the location info of the chalet, nearby restaurants and things to visit. When we arrived at Luma from The Netherlands he welcomed us and explained al the facilities of Luma. There is a chalet nearby Luma, but on a reasonable distance and we for sure had our own privacy. You can park the car alongside the road or on the driveway of Luma, but be aware it has a steep slope downwards with a bend. But we managed to do it every day backwards with our Volvo V70. The chalet was clean and has a lot of kitchen equipment/tools. Also it has a washing machine, which is handy when staying for 3 weeks. A modern flat screen and HiFi equipment is available, although we did not use it. The WiFi connection is very good, even on the terrace good connection for our phones and laptop. Same for electricity wall outlets; there are more than enough available (do not forget to bring your adapters with you if coming from the EU). The views from chalet Luma are not like the usual Switzerland images on the web (Matterhorn etc), but the view into the Val d'Herens and the mountain slope at the other side of the valley are beautiful. The sun is shining on the terrace and winter garden from early morning to roughly 14:00 in the afternoon in summer, so ideal for having breakfast outside in the morning (we were lucky in 2022; only 2 nights of rain in 3 weeks stay). As the chalet is around 1700 meters high located, it does not become that hot when it’s around 30 degrees or more down in the valley due to a little breeze. Drawback is that when the sun goes down it can become a little bit colder, but the winter garden is then a good place to stay.

The refrigerator is too small with a small freezer compartment. To prevent regular shopping a larger one would be handy. We solved this by using a cooling bag with cooling blocks (we replaced the cooling blocks every day).
