Comments from previous guests

Just a quick e-mail to say a BIG thankyou to all of you at the Aravis, for making our weekend ski trip a very enjoyable one.We all had a great time, helped along by your warm welcome and friendly and helpful staff. We will have no hesitation in recommending you. Thanks again. Hopefully we didn't disturb the other guests to much? (Sometimes, other people need encouraging!) Happy daze indeed. Regards Richard Tasker (for Team Spyder 2008)

Hi Tom
I just wanted to say how much Jonathan and I enjoyed our break with Karibuni. The staff were really fabulous. The food was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. A few of our friends have expressed an interest so you may be getting a few enquiries. Hope to see you all again. Andrea (2008)

Dear All
Thanks very much for a splendid weekend. We all thoroughly enjoyed the whole skiweekender/karibuni experience. The devil's in the detail - as my boss always says! - and I think that is what scored so highly all through the weekend from pickup, through to ski hire, dinner, accommodation and guiding. Most of all of course we enjoyed the company of your team and fellow guests.Best wishes Niall (2008)

To Tom, Jess and ALL the team,
I just wanted to say thanks on behalf of all 6 of us for the great time we had last weekend.The atmosphere was great, the food was great and your friendly hospitality made the whole weekend of skiing go so smoothly and welcomingly.You certainly picked the right name - Karibuni - : There's only one downside to all of this…going back to work!
Look forward to seeing you again sometime…soon hopefully! Cheers Nick (2008)

We were really impressed by how enthusiastic and hardwoking you all were yet managed to maintain a really chilled feel about the place. It was really great fun and you were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Thank you!

Food - Amazing! Staff - Amazing! Massage - Amazing! Accommodation - Amazing! Skiing - didn't get the chance to find out because everything else was so good! Thanks for a great weekend!
Andy & Candi Abbott (Jan 2007)

Second time here had an awesome time again! Thanks to all the staff and can't wait until next time!
Rowan (Jan 2007)

Once again thank you both so much for your efforts over the last week. As I think i mentioned, the promise of good food and drink - both vegetarian and omnivore - were one of our prime reasons for choosing to come to Les Aravis, and it's fair to say that you exceeded our expectations!
Andy & Deb (Jan 2007)

We had a ball, thanks for the hospitality and lovely food. Will definitely visit La Clusaz again.
The Gilbeys (Jan 2007)

Thanks to all the team at the Aravis Ldoge for a fantastic week! A great New Year feast and your usual hospitality saw the New Year in, in style. Hopefully we'll be back before the end of the 2007 season with some mates.
Laura & Doug (Jan 2007)

Just wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you for a great Christmas snowboarding in the French Alps! We had a FANTASTIC time despite having no luggage for our entire stay ... the little things like the matching t-shirts and socks came a long way! A special thanks to Alex, Jess and Paul for coming to the rescue with your own clothes. The whole chalet experience was definitely unforgettable ... and we hope to bring our friends back! Happy days! :)
Anh and Tom (December 2006)

Just a word of thanks to yourself, Trudie, Craig, Jess, Sarah and everyone else without exception for a terrific four days amid good company. I had a great time and Trevor is still enthusing about his best skiing holiday ever.

The weekend with you guys has completely restored my 'joie de vivre' and I have returned ready to take on the world. Particularly memorable was our snow show walk complete with sun, stars, snow angels and one cute but naughty dog!!!!
Michelle Maden (Mar 06)

Just a quick thank you to you and all the staff for helping make our holiday such a good
one! The food was great, rooms spotless & staff as friendly as ever - it couldn't have been better.

Hi Paul and all the team, A rather belated but very big thank you for a great week with you at Half Term. We loved the whole chalet experience and the little extras like snowshoe walks, fireworks, guiding (oops-orientating!) and the tea and cakes each day. Thank you for looking after us and our friends so well. Looking forward to a return visit soon.
Best wishes Maureen and Keith (Feb 06)

The service in the chalet i.e. food, bar, and everything else was was top notch and thanks for putting up with our drunken antics in the bar on the final night. I can't even remember going up to bed.
All the best for the rest of the season. Cheers.
Tom Watson (Feb 06)

You certainly have it licked when it comes to making guests feel welcome and comfortable. I cannot think of anything else that you could do to make our stay more enjoyable (free bar may be a start!!). Quite often a second visit is never the same as the first but with Hotel Aravis the second was equally as good.
Once again thanks to you all.
Steve Selves (Feb 06)

Dear all at Avaris lodge, many thanks for an excellent Ski Midweeker. We had a great time. You looked after us all royally, food excellent, accommodation fab. Ski conditions were exceptional, loads of sun, snow and great skiing (boarding). Many thanks for making our escape a good one. Hopefully we shall make a return visit when possible.
Jackie Lisa Nicky and Di. (16 Jan 2006)

Once again many thanks to you, Trudie, Jackie, Jess, Sarah and crew for a great w/e and for the very friendly and fun atmosphere you all create. Bring on the next ski weekend !! Cheers.
Jez Moses. (Jan 6th – 9th 06)

Now that the bruises have gone down a bit, we just wanted to thank you and all the team for an excellent weekend. Everything was so well organised, and everyone was so friendly - the snow-shoeing was a great experience and our snowboarding certainly improved - we had a fantastic time and are missing the snow terribly!
Hope everything goes well for the rest of the ski season, and for the climbing/biking in the summer! Kind regards.
Araminta and Joh (Jan 06)

Thanks to everyone at Karibuni from myself and all in our group. Everyone had an awesome time and it was great to have such a wonderful christmas with you all.I definitely hope to be back out there snowboarding as soon as possible.
Thanks again. Simon

Just a quick mail to say thank you so much for a fantastic New Year - after being a bit nervous coming on my own, all the staff and the other guests were so friendly I didn't want to leave! It was great fun - thanks for all your hard work to keep the food, cocktails and entertainment flowing! I'll definitely be back and looking forward to it. Lucy x

Thanks for a superb break. We enjoyed every minute and were extremely well looked after
Liz Charters, April 2005

Just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic weekend had by our group...
Everyone really enjoyed the trip, which was due to your excellent hospitality, great food, accommodation and atmosphere. Please pass our thanks on to the girls as well, particularly for skiing with us to show us the area and get to know the resort
Rebecca, TOTAL UK corporate weekend for 32 people, March 2005

Many thanks to the Karibuni Team following our recent visit for our Snowboard Midweeker.
Everything about the trip was great from the location, accommodation, transfers, logistics and the help and assistance you all provided to us rookies.
Shaun Allen, March 2005

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for the hospitality shown last week. We definitely think your new premises with the facility of on site boot and ski hire is an improvement on an already very successful format. I've already received enquires about next years trip! All in all a thoroughly enjoyable time - but perhaps next year though you could organise a more favourable result in the rugby!
Keith Burlinson, February 2005

Just a quick note to say thanks for everything. We had an amazing time which fulfilled all the purposes we set out to achieve. Please pass on our thanks to the whole team
