The Guest House

A wonderful 2 night stay at this delightful place, nestled in the hills of Vallorcine. Superb accommodation, very cosy & clean. Helen & Steve are great hosts, serving up a delightful breakfast and anecdotes galore! Be ready for a little uphill exercise after parking the car, but all in all a 10/10 experience.

We got a room on the last floor, a spacious room that is maintained to a high standard, clean. The room has a large and very comfortable bed, blankets, pillows, towels and quality soaps. Helen helped us by recommending a good route that was worth a lot and the breakfast is excellent. This is an opportunity to get to know other travelers and to get in touch with Helen. During the tourist season there are restaurants and a cable car near the house and you don't have to go all the way to Chamonix. We strongly recommend the hotel, you should know that there is no adjacent parking and there is a walk along a dark path of about 100 meters from the parking lot to the house. Also, you have to take off your shoes upon entering the house.

We first stayed with Helen and the 'Boys' in March 2016 and have returned for our weeks ski holiday every year since (saving 2021 of course). Over the course of our 6 visits, we have got to know the family quite well and would like to think that we can count them as friends! This years visit was as enjoyable and relaxing as ever, The Guest House feels like a home from home and although we ate out locally some nights, Helen cooked some delicious meals for us, including a wonderful Fondu. We also cooked in a couple of nights as there is a self catering option. We have visited most of the large ski resorts in the Alps, but love the unspoilt nature of Vallorcine, and if you are an intermediate skier, the skiing in Le Tour/Balme is pretty good as well! We look forward to March 2023, it's already in the diary!
