“We spent two wonderful weeks at Chalet Nyika. The chalet was comfortable, spacious, tidy and well equipped. Especially we enjoyed bright and cozy living area with a fireplace, modern TV, and a great view onto the mountains and village bellow. Jake and Kelly who managed our check-in and local support was very friendly and helpful. Grand Massif is one of our favorite areas because some of us prefer risk-free skiing and there are great easy slopes for it like Marvel and Plein Soleil. We were lucky with the weather. We had a great time, thanks a lot to the owners and their team!”
