Great site, our 3rd year in a row staying here. Ideal for the slopes. The ski bus stops at the entrance to the campsite every few minutes and is only a 5 minute ride to the lifts. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Breakfast available to be ordered from local bakery. Facilities clean and tidy, showers are decent and the local town is very nice.
Good pitch, site was busy but didn’t feel overcrowded

The campsite facilities and it's location, with the bus stop at the entrance and only 10 minutes walk into town. The restaurant is very good too.
Unfortunately our electricity kept tripping, although it did not happen if there were only two pitches using the box.
The staff are very helpful, particular when the electricity tripped. The sanitary facilities are very clean. Plenty of hot water. Wonderful views of the mountains.
The electricity tripping, even when the only appliances we had on were the fridge and the fan heater and we were on 10 amps.

Perfect location for the ski bus, 2 mins on the bus to the slopes. Lovely swimming pool. Clean tidy site with warm showers. Morning bakery delivery was also nice.
Luckily we were able to upgrade the power rating on electric supply. 3 Amp would have caused us problems with a larger motorhome.
Perfect for winter camping

location, very close to the town and navette for ski lift
pitches are very muddy - pitches running water disconnected (I guess during winter months to avoid frozen pipes but...) - some showers don't work - washing up sometimes didn't have hot water
quite and good location when ski lift navette is running
On arrival, a lady guided us to the pitch, despite having so many available pitches she wanted to give us the muddiest with the van's side door opening to the street giving us zero privacy. When asking if we could take the one next to it, she went super grumpy and rude! Her excuse was she could only start giving pitches from the 1st in line, which made absolutely no sense, so I asked for the 1st in a different line and even so she was grumpy and not welcoming. Eventually, she did and also gave us an extension cable to hook up as we were too far from the electricity point but too little&late

Just on the edge of town, bus stop to ski lifts right outside the campsite. We ran out of gas and the site helped change our hose to a French version so we could use the French gas bottle.

We stayed on a winter pitch - showers and toilets really well kept and plenty of hot water
When booking I did not book electric and I missed the tick box. When booking online ensure that you select electric if you need it.

Excellent boot and ski rooms, my wife enjoyed the pool. Very easy access to village and ski bus stops right outside the site
We were shunted into the nearest space on arrival. The space was very tight even with a small VW Van
We would like to have been offered a choice of pitches on arrival

Really good site, owner helped us out by arranging alternative accommodation on site at extremely short notice over Xmas when our camper broke down
Changed to chalet, was excellent - warm clean and well equipped. The site is in a great location in town for access to centre and ski lifts

We loved staying in our two bedroom little house with our two little kids. It felt like a home for a weekend at the beginning of September. The house had everything we needed and even more. Lots of thoughtful details. Very clean! Amazing setting. Friendly staff. The swimming pool was great. La Source park just nearby was great for kids too. And the coffee shop in the village was just perfect.
Nothing to improve, but to take in account that it gets really cold at night in September so please use the provided duvets or a warm pyjama :)
Everything was great, lots of thoughtful details. Super clean.

Location is absolutely stunning and perfect for exploring the mountains. Perfect to pop into the town and to the shop. Toilet and shower facilities clean and modern with soap and paper (which I now understand is not a requirement of 3 star camping in france). Great pool.
Pool to open slightly earlier would be good.
Good location and water on pitch.
Small pitches and a bit cramped and mulchy in the rain but got used to it.

Great location
Few pitches spaced out
Good sized pitch,
Improve the surface of the pitch
