What a fabulous chalet! We were 3 families ( 6 adults, 5 kids aged 9-12) & this chalet is perfect for groups. Its very spacious & having a shower & toilet in each bedroom meant no lengthy queues for the bathroom & the hot water never seemed to run out!. The kitchen is very well-equipped and we loved the fondue & raclette.
The children loved the pool table & the adults loved the hot tub & sauna (steam room was out of action). We all thoroughly enjoyed our week at Le Grill.
Venosc is a really pretty village & the gondola to Les 2 Alpes was no hassle (it even worked when the french lift workers were on strike!). The uphill walk home is a bit of a challenge with weary legs after a days skiing but if you are feeling lazy, there is plenty of parking outside the gondola so you could always drive back up the hill but if you do that, you might miss out on the impromptu vin chaud & frites party where a small group of locals meet halfway up the hill early evening & offer you wine, food a warm fire & lovely company.
The piste/snow conditions in Les 2 Alpes were brilliant. Our advice is get to the glacier & stay up there, the snow conditions are better & its so much quieter than the lower slopes. The new Jandri blue run gets VERY busy at 4-5pm. Its churned up & very icy in places so not great for newbies. We enjoyed the glacier skiing so much that we didnt even get chance to ski the Vallee Blanche runs...maybe next time! There are plenty of slopes for all abilities although the black runs seemed very 'mogul'y which is not to everyones taste.
