Mark and Cathy were lovely knowledgeable hosts.
The accommodation is 5 minutes walk to the famous lobster pot lift taking you directly to the Vanoise Express and 400km of slopes.
From the initial chat about the dates, timing I knew we were going to be looked after well.
Afternoon tea-cake, evening meal, wines and an honesty bar, made the evening ease by. Cheers guys..

As usual, a great stay at Chalet Himalaya !
En plus de l'accueil toujours chaleureux de la famille Gardiner, des délicieux repas de Cathy, du confort du Nordic Lodge we were lucky to enjoy a almost full sunny week of skiing.
See you next year at the latest.

Having experienced many catered chalet holidays in the past, I can honestly comment that our 'Himalaya' experience was one of the best EVER! A real family chalet - amazing authentic meals and genuine care form our hosts that their guests were receiving everything they needed and wanted. An amazing base for a wonderful ski holiday. Wouldn't change a thing.

Mark and Cathy run a lovely chalet tucked away in a quiet location and were excellent in assisting with the booking of the holiday and helping our family, with young children, sort out the important ski hire, ski school options and lift passes so that we could get a clean start the morning after arrival.
The chalet is conveniently located close to the lift system to soon get you up high and enjoy the great snow, even in late March.
Great food and convivial atmosphere made this a holiday to remember.
Thoroughly recommend.

Myself and my friends had a wonderful time staying with Mark, Cathy, Tom & Suzie. They were so welcoming and full of great local knowledge and going above and beyond to make sure we were well catered for and had everything we needed to know. We loved all the different aspects the chalet had to offer such as the hot tub and the amazing fireplce. The food we were served daily was really great and such a lovely range, my favourite evening was the Raclette evening and the blueberry pudding!
I really look forward to coming back and staying and specially now I have slightly improved my skiing!

Good sized rooms and en-suites at Chalet Himalaya. A very spacious living and eating area, super hot tub and large decking area, plenty of boot and ski storage.
Great fresh food, there was always fresh fruit on the table, tea and coffee at the ready and home made cake. The log burner is fantastic, sooooo toastie.

From the moment I saw Chalet Himalaya on the internet, to calling for more information, to booking a week with catering, to the welcome we received, to the greats conversation and food, to helping us with our ski hire and passes, to booking a restaurant…. Every step of the way, we were helped and given good advice… excellent service, chalet, food and hosts. Highly recommended. Thank you Cathy & Mark, see you again very soon!

So I will admit that this was my 14th time in Chalet Himalaya with Cathy and Mark. We come back because they are really great hosts with a winning formula of food, location, calm and excellent hospitality (even as the Coronavirus shut the resort around us), in a ski station with so many positives and very few negatives. The bubble replacing the lobster pots in a couple of years will be the cherry on the cake.

Mark and Cathy were brilliant hosts at Chalet Himalaya. They were attentive, friendly and really made our group of 13 feel at home. We loved the chalet itself - it was kept very tidy, and the hot tub over looking the mountains was a great addition. The food was delicious and Cathy and Mark made sure to cater to everyone's dietary needs. I will definitely be visiting again!

We had an amazing holiday at Mark and Cathy's place. It's ideally located a short walk from the lift into Peisey, and has an amazing set-up (we loved the hot tub). Everywhere is clean and well looked-after. Most importantly, Mark and Cathy are amazing hosts and really care about their guests...

Myself and nine friends all had an absolutely amazing time skiing in Peisey-Nancroix, and much thanks for that must go to our gracious hosts Mark and Cathy. Not only was the food delicious and wine plentiful, and the high standard of the accommodation both homely and comfortable, we were given lots of invaluable information and advice on possible ways to spend our days to get as much out of our holiday as possible.
They catered to 10 20-something year-olds without breaking a sweat and we all immensely enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and living area complete with fire and big TV (not to mention the fridge full of beer..).
We're all definitely planning to visit again! Thanks for a great time.

Fantastic week, great weather and good snow! Chalet was excellent, really comfortable with good food. Particularly liked the hot tub!
Location is good with a short walk to “lobster pots” then easy access to either Les Arcs or across on the Vanoise Express to La Plagne. Mountain restaurants we tried were all good and seemed excellent value compared with 3 Valleys.

Loved and made daily use of the hot tub and sauna. Great food. Having the arranged lockers for ski equipment very close to the slopes just brilliant and much appreciated , makes the location of the chalet in a traditional french village with a very little walk beginning and end of the day just lovely . Chalet immaculate . Helpful and friendly hosts .

Mark and Cathy were great hosts and helped with all the organising of transfers etc. The chalet was very well laid out which meant even with 4 families (17 in total) we didn't feel like we were living on top of each other. The big farm house dining table was amazing, as well as looking beautiful it fitted all of us round for breakfast together. The log burner kept us all cosy and the chalet was well heated and there was a boot room with boot warmers. The hot tub was well used (especially by the kids) with amazing views over the valley. The short walk to the lobster pots everyday was fine and we were able to get all the kids to ski school on time with New Gen each day. We were all well fed by Cathy’s lovely evening meals including a 4th cheese course every night for the adults and some very yummy cakes at tea time. The kids enjoyed the food too (and there was plenty of 2nd helpings for the bigger kids so they didn't go hungry).

Excellent hosts. Made to feel welcome from pick up at the airport until drop off. Fantastic chalet. Clean and spacious. Hot tub a dream after a long day on the slopes. Food superb - Kathy is a fantastic Chef! Different menu every day with 4 course dinner and delightful wines. Could not recommend more. Thank you for having us!

This was our third visit to Chalet Himalaya, we love everything about it. Mark and Cathy are amazing and do everything they can to make your stay effortless and really special.

A lovely chalet with 6 en suite bedrooms and the post-ski hot tub and sauna were warmly welcomed.
Mark and Cathy are attentive hosts, providing a delicious breakfast selection, wonderful afternoon cakes and the 4 course dinner menu was delicious and varied. Mark & Cathy joining us for dinner was a lovely touch, especially when their delightful children and dog came down to meet us later on! Discounted lift passes and equipment hire through Mark was invaluable, and in general Mark gave us excellent recommendations for activities and amenities in the local area!
Chalet Himalaya offers a spacious dining table and sofa area, perfect for playing social deduction/trivia games in the evening, which was of particular interest to our group.
Just make sure you don't miss the last lift home of the day from Plan Peisey down to Peisey village!! We would be delighted to return in the future!

We visited Chalet Himalaya in Feb 2018 - four families, a group of 18. Mark and Cathy are the perfect hosts, very welcoming, and nothing was any trouble. We could just relax and be looked after all week. Sitting in the hot-tub, watching the sunset catch the peaks in the opposite valley after a day on the slopes was just perfect.

I have stayed in many Chalets' since I started Skiing ,Chalet Himalaya is by far the best.
I have just returned from an 8 days skiing holiday over the Christmas break , with 10 friends and family, we had the most amazing time.
A warm welcome from the start, amazing freshly prepared food with fabulous produce & always a varied local cheese board to finish off the evening meal. Mark & Cathy are fantastic hosts who go above and beyond to make you holiday truly amazing even, if you're not skiing or snowboarding. The chalet is perfectly situated to drive from the UK with no expensive parking charges at the resort . Once in resort everything you need is within easy access whatever activities your doing in resort. Mark & Cathy's wealth of local knowledge means you really do have an amazing holiday experience. I have already booked for my next stay in January 2018.
