A wonderful chalet experience to remember!
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009
Date of Stay: March 2009
What an amazing experience - from the minute we picked up the phone and booked with Mark! So friendly, relaxed and helpful - he had all the answers we needed whenever we needed them - Mark & Cathy were always just at the other end of the phone! Once we arrived, the whole experience just got better and better. Very sincere and homely welcome to a beautiful chalet, with the most stunning views (especially from the jacuzzi!) The location was perfect, quiet and picturesque, yet just a very short walk to the lifts, Locker system (with boot warmers) at first lift meant no having to cart skis etc to and from the chalet - phew! The chalet decor was cosy and welcoming, spotlessly clean with a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Catering and customer service was second to none whether you were with a group, a family or just on your own ! It felt like we were staying with friends! The menu was varied and beautifully cooked, and the wine just kept on coming! The pretty little village is just a short walk away with a selection of pubs, restaurants and shops. The skiing was brilliant with access to such a wide area and hundreds of amazing runs for all ability levels - something for everyone! Breathtaking views! We have recommended this holiday to all our friends and are returning in 2010 with some of them! Can't wait!!
Owner's Response: Jackie & Hugh,
Many thanks for your lovely words and we are so pleased that you enjoyed the menus that Cathy puts so much time in to designing each winter. We hope you will savour this year's menu just as much as in 2009. We have even selected 2 new wines to compliment the food even better this year. Mmmmmm - see you in February. Mark, Cathy & family.

A great chalet in a great location. Perfect family facilities of the highest order. Nothing better than the Jacuzzi or sauna after a great days skiing. The afternoon cakes and evening meals are wonderful. Its a home from home on the slopes. the walk to the first bucket lift is no problem for adults or children.
If you want a relaxing holiday with great home comforts ina friednly environment you've found the place. we have been back many times.

I've skied at least 3 times every year for the last 10 years and have found myself reterning to one place pretty much every year.
This is a lovely chalet, with excellent service and amazing food located in a very beautiful, peaceful village on the edge of one of the best ski areas in the world.
The skiing is vast and varied but you could say that about a few places. What really marks this chalet and village out from many other places you could stay is the authentic, relaxing and peacful experience. If you're looking for nightlife and bars, this probably isn't the place. If you're looking for some great skiing and a relaxing experience in an authentic French village and want to stay in a amazing chalet and enjoy some delicous food, this place is for you!

Thanks for your review of Himalaya and I would agree that Peisey-Vallandry is not the best place for vibrant nightlife. If the skiing is your priority - it is a "Top 5" resort to enjoy hundreds kilometres of beautifully interconnected and immaculately groomed pistes to suit all ages and abilities.
Regards Mark, Cathy & family

We had a fantastic time (again, after visiting in Feb 08), albeit with another accident!
Accomodation fantastic.
Food excellent.
Wine terrific .... and flowed very well.
Snow deep.
Would recommend booking lockers to avoid carrying skis.
I can thoroughly recommend the chalet to anybody looking for high quality accomodation, matched with great food and wine in a fantastic resort. Mark and Cathy could not do enough for us!

Thanks for your kind words. You are quite right that the new lockers at the piste side come highly recommended and have made a HUGE difference especially for the families. Goodbye to Dad having to carry 3 sets of skis each day with his ski boots on. Happy holidays !!! - Mark.

The greatest compliment to Cathy and Mark and their wonderful home is that we are about to go back for our 9th holiday with them. Their home is full of ancient charm but modern facilities, the hot water has never run out, and its location in the old village of Peisey ensures tranquility but rapid access to all parts of the Paradiski area via the bucket lift a 5 minute walk away. The addition of the spa has added a great dimension for the early evenings after an energetic day. The town is a quiet one so party animals have to generate their own wild night, but families will be happy in its rural charm so close to a sophistocated ski area. The bars are welcoming, and nearby restaurants can be exceptionally good (the renowned Ancolie for instance)
As hosts their attention to detail and warmth of hospitality, complemented by truly superb food means that our stays are always relaxed and really want for nothing.
Would we recommend them to a friend or relative? Yes, but only if we have already made our booking for our next trip!

I have stayed at Go-Alpine Chalet Himalaya many times now and I have been extremely satisfied in every respect, great food, luxury chalet and outstanding scenery with all necessary skiing facilities required . Great snow last year. Hospitality and attention to detail from Mark and Cathy Gardiner and their highly trained staff cannot be beaten. I was made to feel special by their thoughtfulness. Everything I expected and much more. Why go anywhere else.?
Owner's Response: Helen, thanks for your kind words - another satisfied customer - see you next year. Mark & Cathy
