Roxyfoxy, welcome to SnowHeads 
If it's the same self-catered property which I dealt with a couple of years ago, it wasn't good and was the source of many and huge problems. However, that was as much to do with the local management as anything specific to the chalet. If you want to pm me with details on who is running it now, I may be able to help a little more.

Thanks for your reply, I actually spoke to Iglu ski first about it and they said their used to be problems but the owner has improved standards over the years, However we have now booked with La Plagne Chalets and looking at the booking confirmation the holiday operator is Ski France.......  thanks do much

just returned from Chalet Delta which is now run by Ski France.
It is really well located in the resort with great access on to the blue slope but a very average chalet overall.
The worse thing was the chalet was quite cold in the living area. There are only heaters in the bedrooms which you are asked to turn off before leaving for skiing in the morning but there are no heaters in the main living area. This would be fine if a fire was lit in time for your return but the hosts (who live out) don't arrive until 6pm and by then the chalet living area is well below 16C . After much asking a small supply of logs was delvered but no kindling and we were using any paper rubbish (eggboxes etc) to try and get it lit. It was down to the guests to light the fire which is fine even though prior experience was that this was always strictly banned in other chalets but the main issue is that logs were severely rationed meaning we could only have fires on some nights consequently many guests spent their evening in their bedrooms with their heater ! - not very sociable
The boot/ski storage area was a bit of a joke - a tiny porch to store up to 20 pairs of skis etc and no where to even sit down to put boots on!!. We all soon learned not to leave our boots there as it got so cold there that you might as well leave them outside for the night.
The bedding was very tired and lumpy, most of the mugs were chipped and you eat off of tea plates to make the portion sizes look half reasonable on the plus side evening wine was generous !!
If you get a really good "last minute" price for this chalet then go for this only because of a good price and its location but treat it as a budget level chalet and then you won't be disappointed.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I know the delta well, used to work in resort for the owner.
Ski France run the chalet, their parent company, Eurogroup own it. Iglu are just giving you a stock answer because they don't actually know!
All of the bad press about the chalet is from a few years ago when Ski Fidelity ran it. They have since gone under. You can't judge ski france on these reviews, not their fault!
Delta is fine, decent location etc but very much no frills.
