Longue Vue, March 2025

We had a great time in Longue Vue last week despite some challenges with the Heathrow fire and disappearing skis! As soon as we arrived with you we really appreciated your friendliness and willingness to help us make the most of our stay. Every time we have stayed with you, check-in has always been straightforward and welcoming. It was such a great surprise to have a knock on the door and be given some champagne for my ‘significant’ birthday too! It helped to make it a really special day.
The rest of the week, whatever we ordered, from croissants and baguettes to firewood and kindling, turned up with amazing efficiency. One of my favourite starts to the day is opening the door and seeing the brown paper bag of goodies from the boulangerie!
Special thanks to Pippa and Pauline for your help in getting my missing skis sorted out and taking the time to help us with calls to the hire shop and the restaurant. It made us appreciate that Alpine Essence goes way beyond just providing a rental service, you are all about really looking after your visitors. All ended well and I now know how to ski from Les Arcs to Peisey while carrying a second pair of skis!
Thanks so much, hope we’ll see you again next year.

Les Epilobes 3, February 2025

Appartement de très bon confort, bien équipé et offrant une vue très agréable depuis la terrasse. La place de parking en sous-sol est très utile. Les photos sont conformes à la réalité. L’emplacement est un peu éloigné des pistes et écoles de ski quand nous avons de jeunes enfants. La location d’une consigne à ski au près du Skimium règle ce désagrément. Le support de la conciergerie est très efficace.

Chalet L'Ecureuil, January 2025

Only delighted to give feedback. 3rd year in row we are enjoying the hospitality of the team and the great service. So big compliments to the entire team. Starting from booking, all the communication, the bagage delivery and pick up from the chalet, the great bread service in the morning, the check out process and cleanness of the chalet. Also enjoyed the Ski Doc service. So big, big thank you to you all and certainly like to come back in same chalet next year in January

Les Clarines 1, January 2025

We had a lovely stay at Les Clarines 1 - the apartment was very well equipped and we loved the underfloor heating in the living / kitchen area. The ski in and out aspect was such a luxury.

As always we enjoyed our stay with your company. Everything worked even the good snow on the pistes.
See you in a year (or even sooner if we hit the right lotto number :) )

Always a pleasure to book and use your company.

Friendly and helpful staff that in some cases go above and beyond to help.

Booking process is simple enough.

The service to the door of bread etc is fantastic.We have returned every year and have used Alpine Essence and previously PVR for at least 10 years now

Chalet Chamois, December 2024

Great chalet, perfect for a family of 4. The steps down to the chalet were challenging at times in icy conditions and you can’t drive to the door you have to carry all the bags up and down them but we would definitely love to go back!

Chalet Soleil, December 2024

Off-center accommodation but very close to the ski lifts and the Vanoise Express cable car (5 min walk). Located in the center of Domaine PARADISKI. The accommodation is very comfortable for 4 adults and 2 children.

Alpine Essence are really helpful and responded to any requests/ issues very quickly. We highly recommend them. Apartment is great, kitchen very well stocked for cooking. Amazing view of mountains from balcony and literally next to the piste! We loved our stay here

Le Chalet, December 2024

Honestly I have nothing negative to say about Alpine Essence. Booking process - easy, booking extras - easy, check in - easy (although appleMaps shows the office in the wrong place) and super responsive to messages during our stay. Also very clear about expectations for check out. Would recommend without hesitation and hope to stay with you again soon

L'Ecureuil, August 2024

We had a great time and the process was easy from start to finish, even when I booked the wrong chalet by mistake. Check in was quick and easy and we appreciated your help to get our luggage up the slope. I swear the slope became steeper towards the end of the week! We usually stay in La Couronne. but as it was booked we stayed at L'Ecureuil which we found had everything we wanted and was of a slightly higher standard. We'll definitely be back.
