Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la Tanière.Sophie, la gérante était parfaite, elle a su répondre à toutes nos requêtes. Nous lui avons directement fait part de nos déceptions, à savoir:- une chambre n'a pas de fenêtre- le dortoir est une mezzanine, donc ce n'est pas une chambre fermée.A part cela, le chalet est beau, bien situé et agréable pour passer du temps en famille. Merci encore Sophie.
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour en famille.Le chalet est parfaitement équipé pour une grande famille avec enfants. La pièce à vivre est très chaleureuse et les chambres sont spacieuses et agréables! Mention spéciale pour la piscine chauffée et le sauna après une journée de skiLa qualité de la communication et de l’accueil de l’hôte a grandement facilité ce séjour
