Our guests’ reviews say it better
You said it!★★★★★ 4.94/5 — 85 verified reviews (Google, Tripadvisor…)
A week of real ski holidays, making the most of family games and activities without worrying about the logistics: meals, transport, equipment, and more.
A wide variety of activities for every taste: sporty, technical, gourmet, mechanical… A truly relaxing family adventure.
The best Chalet I've ever stayed in. Pool, sauna, cinema room. Bit of a walk to the piste in the morning but a small price to pay for such a fantastic chalet
We were a group of 15, with friends and family, and had a wonderful time. Elise was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to help us organise everything, from taxis and a private chef to ski passes and equipment hire. We were in touch almost every day and she was always there for us!
The chalet is superb and modern, with all the facilities needed to dry and warm your gear in the evening, as well as a pool, sauna, gym and cinema room.
Highly recommended!
A perfectly tailored stay, lovingly put together by the Pointe de Sel team. An incredibly warm welcome, with a genuine desire to pamper us day after day through unique activities for everyone, while keeping the simplicity we love.
Adults and children alike came away from this timeless stay delighted and fully recharged.
What a pleasure to feel truly listened to by a bespoke travel professional! To present us with a holiday plan for this summer, Élise took the time to fully understand our needs, and the proposal more than lived up to my expectations, with lovely surprises and real solutions to my requests, all within a suitable budget.
Go for it: your holiday wishes will be in very good hands!
We were won over by the concept offered by Pointe de Sel. And how lucky we were! We experienced the mountains in winter in a whole new way, and we loved it.
We discovered a whole range of new activities that allowed us to make the most of the mountains…
Elise created an innovative programme that allowed us to experience new activities as a family. The service was always cheerful and flexible, and the guides were fantastic.
The catering was delicious and adapted to different dietary requirements.
Elise was fantastic from start to finish. She immediately put us at ease from our very first phone call and organised every aspect of our stay, from the accommodation and activities to a menu tailored to specific dietary requirements. Always with a smile. We spent a wonderfully relaxing week filled with new experiences and thoroughly enjoyed every meal. I think we’ll be back.
What a joy to entrust the organisation of our family holiday to Pointe de Sel! Everything was perfect: Geneva–La Plagne taxi: found. Excellent babysitter: found. Dog sledding: booked. Piou Piou ski school: registration sorted… Not to mention the constant availability and ever-present smile. We’ll definitely call on Pointe de Sel again! Huge congratulations and thank you!
Elise is very attentive and has a real talent for finding exceptional places and activities tailored to your needs and wishes!
With our family now spanning three generations and growing rapidly thanks to the arrival of several grandchildren, finding the right chalet had become more important than ever. This year, we were looking for a spacious, elegant home where everyone could stay together in comfort, ideally just moments from the slopes.
Élise took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and found us the perfect chalet—beautifully appointed, exceptionally comfortable, and ideally suited to our family's needs. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you!
We booked a chalet for 15 guests through Élise at Pointe de Sel for our February 2025 ski holiday, bringing together three families. The chalet was perfectly located, less than a two-minute walk from the slopes, restaurants, and ski rental shops.
From our very first enquiry through to the end of our stay, Élise's communication was exceptional—clear, responsive, and consistently proactive. She did far more than simply find us the right chalet. She liaised with the ESF to arrange full-day childcare for our youngest children, coordinated with the owners to organise the bedroom layout, and took care of countless details that made our holiday completely effortless.
This was genuine, personalised service—not just a booking—which has become all too rare. We wouldn't hesitate to use Pointe de Sel again and look forward to booking with Pointe de Sel for our next mountain escape.
We had a wonderful stay at Chalet du Bois Melay. A heartfelt thank you to Pointe de Sel and Élise for making these few days so memorable.
Everything was flawless—from the chalet itself to the attentive service and seamless organisation. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would happily book with Pointe de Sel again.
Our stay was an outstanding success thanks to Pointe de Sel. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of from start to finish—from ski passes and equipment hire to in-chalet massages, a memorable dog sledding adventure, station transfers, and even our meals at the chalet.
The level of care, organisation, and personalised service made the entire experience completely effortless. We highly recommend Pointe de Sel and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.
