 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Thought I'd spotted a bargain here for early next season but then found thread on here from a few years ago warning against this chalet / Ski Fidelity. Does anyone know if this chalet is still run by the same company or if it has changed hands / improved since?
thanks!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hi,
This is the link I found: http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=12056 However, it is from several years ago, so the chalet could well now be being run by a different and perfectly good company. But it sounds as if it's worth checking... I also found two Chalet Delta listings, which appear to be different chalets, which struck me as a bit odd. Will let you know if I get to the bottom of it!

You need to be careful with La Tania chalets - there are some which are very good quality both catered and self catered. Others catered and self catered are appalling.
The old very tatty chalets are managed by Eurogroup - now Madame Vacances - maintenance and cleaning etc are scrimped and chaotic. Some Tour Operators book these for the season as they are cheap and they get an associated company to do the catering. All possible corners are cut in the persuit of profit. These companies are the big ABTA companies in the main.
There are top quality self catered and catered chalets, but these are privately sourced by small companies. As they are not providing travel and therefore not a "package holiday" ABTA is not appropriate.
Pay by credit card or take out travel insurance with the AA (this now includes financial failure guarantees as standard)
Needless to say chalet Delta is one of the chalets run by Eurogroup. It is split into two - Delta BAS (low) and Delta Haut (high). There is a sliding door in the lounge so they can be run/sold as one
Be warned

snowycat, I suggest if you're going to make statements such as those above that you edit your post to make it clear that those are your personal opinions, not accepted fact (until you've successfully defended them in the libel courts of course).
Maybe you should state whether you have any personal interest in the Alpine property scene?

St Maurice of Borg, I have not stayed in a chalet in La Tania, but numerous others. I can concur with snowycat, though that some of the worst places I have stayed in were with the larger type operations. Had two great chalet experiences last year with one independant operator and another mid sized operation. Were fantastic and would love to go back, but this year it looks like Austria for us!
