Résidence Pierre & Vacances Saskia Falaise

We recently stayed in an apartment in Avoriaz over the New Year period. While the location was excellent—close to the main high street, ski lifts, and ski school—the overall experience left a lot to be desired, especially given the premium price we paid for the holiday. The apartment itself was extremely dated and very small. It’s advertised to sleep four, but there’s no way that would be comfortable. It was already a tight squeeze for just two adults and one child. The bed was small and uncomfortable, and there was minimal storage space, which made it difficult to organise anything during our stay. The boot room was basic at best, offering only lockers with no drying hooks for boots or any way to properly dry or store equipment after skiing. For a ski destination, this was disappointing. The apartment was self-catering, but the amenities were incredibly stingy. For example, they provided only one roll of toilet paper for five days for three people. Considering the cost of the accommodation, this seemed unnecessarily cheap. Additionally, the apartment was not located in the same building as the reception. Upon arrival, we had to drag all our luggage through the snow to reach it, with no help offered and no information provided about using sledges to assist. This was particularly frustrating after a long journey. Overall, I would not have minded the dated interior or lack of space if the price reflected the quality of the accommodation. Unfortunately, it did not, and I cannot say we felt it was good value for money. Would not recommend unless improvements are made or prices are adjusted to better match the experience.
