Ski in out at La Halte Mont-Blanc 2

The location on the mountain is fantastic—the ski-in/ski-out access makes it really easy to pop in for lunch or warm between runs. The unit itself is comfortable and well suited to a ski weekend. Kitchen is decently equipped and towels are plush. Communication is speedy. Check-in: easy.

The main drawback is that this side of the mountain closes earlier than the rest. The last chair up is around 3 p.m., so the ski-in/ski-out convenience really only lasts until mid-afternoon. After that you’re usually skiing the other side and need to drive back later in the day, which takes a bit of the shine off the whole ski-in/ski-out thing. The second sleeping space also works better for kids than adults. We were two couples, and the second bed was simply too small—my 6’2” husband had to sleep with his feet hanging off the end. Fine for children or shorter guests, but tight for two adult couples. Otherwise, it’s mostly small, slightly annoying details that stand out when you’re paying around $650 a night: a fireplace timer that ticks loudly the whole time it’s on, and a toilet paper holder that seemed determined to drop the roll at every opportunity. Nothing major—just the kind of minor upgrades that would make the place feel a bit more polished.

Everything was great! The ski slopes are right next door.

The Condo is the perfect location and beautiful. The owners were always available if we had questions. We will return.

I can’t think of anything that would have made our stay any better. We had everything we needed.

Tout était parfait!
