This was an "up and down trip" in several ways. It got off to a particularly bad start when one of the group collapsed and died on the first walk. It was an awful time for his daughter who had accompanied him on the trip and naturally impacted on the whole group.
Chalet Chocolat Chamonix Delight Staying at Chalet Chamonix was the icing on the cake for me. If you "live to eat" rather than "eat to live", then you'll appreciate home made cakes every day, delicious, freshly prepared salads, cheese, hams, baguettes, fruit etc for lunch. Zohi was a fabulous chalet host and superb chef. I enjoyed all of our three course dinners. Popular with our group were the haricot beans, cheese souffles, tartiflette, meringues, panacotta, cheesecake, well, pretty much everything really! There was much interest in recipes:) I particularly appreciated how Zohi accommodated my preference for vegetarian/fish at short notice. Ben was quietly efficient and ensured all the "behind the scenes stuff" worked and was on time. The bar arrangement in the chalet worked well too.
We are a group of eight family and friends. The setting of the hotel was magnificient. Leader of the walk Rupert was excellent. He was able to accomodate each individual requirement with tact and humour. The staff of the hotel Jayne and John were fantastic, always friendly and helpful and nothing was ever too difficult. We had a wonderful holiday and have no hesitation in recommending it to any of our friends and family in future.Sam Wong, Melbourne, Australia ( July 2013)
