How the planner sets out the days

Day one is arrival: check-in is from 16:00, so we suggest an evening at the house or something close by. The last day is departure: check-out by 10:00 and a stop on the way to Geneva.

In winter, every third ski day becomes a day off skis. Long trips, over 75 minutes by car, come up at most once every three days.

A house for 12 in Les Collons: 5 bedrooms, a terrace hot tub that runs all year and an infrared sauna. The Les Masses chairlift is 1.8 km by road.

Asked before booking, answered straight

Does the planner store my data?

No. The plan lives only in the page address, e.g. ?s=winter&w=family&d=7. You can copy it and send it to friends.

Where do the prices in the plan come from?

From operators’ and tourist offices’ sites, as of 15.10.2026, with the date next to each price. If we do not have a price, we do not show one.

Can I book the house from the planner?

Yes. The button under the plan goes to Alpvision Résidences, the agency that manages the house and handles bookings.
