Nearly everything about our stay was better than I had read in reviews and exceeded my low expectations. We stayed in Prince de cimes, level 6, self catering Pros - so easy to unpack car despite needing two lifts as could park directly under the building and provided airport style trolleys to help ferry up bags. - apartment was good size, very well equipped with new kitchen appliances - fab full size oven, toaster, Nespresso, filter coffee machine, food size fridge with smaller freezer tray, microwave, dishwasher which worked perfectly and induction hob. Really no complaints and made cooking very easy. - we did bring a number of preprepared meals frozen to make prep easier. - loved we could hire for free from reception a raclette machine. Not well marketed but great extra touch - my son loved there was a piano to play in reception and board games to borrow - pool was nice if a little cold. Outside pool not open and one small jacuzzi - loads of storage in the apartment - balcony was open with table and chairs which was fab, and not expected as was told it was out of use. - apartment was in an amazing location, directly below cabriolet right in the middle of town, close to all the amenities. Well stocked Carrefour and bakery directly outside reception and attached to ski-set hire shop so don't even need to go outside! - 1950 resort was amazing! We came at end of the season were large snow melt but they made so much effort to keep resort looking white and snowy throughout the village, immaculate ly kept with no rubbish in sight. Entertainment in the main square every evening even with it being end of season. Can't think of a better resort to bring small children. Everything so close by, no cars, easy ski in/out. Perfect Cons - sofa and seating was tired and pretty dirty - apartment overall was not that clean - hard tiled floors were absolutely filthy - bed spreads had dog hair on them - bed linen had others hair on it - 2nd bathroom smelt very drainy /sewage so we couldn't use it. We only used it for drying kit. We accidentally left the door open whilst out one day and it made our whole apartment small- it was terrible. - seperate toilet smelt like a urinal - strong urine smell I assume from poor cleaning and likely the tiles not being cleaned. Was really quite foul. -

“Great village but the bar meant no sleep”

1950 is a great location and the apartments are definitely more comfortable and better equipped than your average French ski resort but beware if you are situated close to the O’Chaud bar you will get no sleep!

1950 is a great location and the apartments are definitely more comfortable and better equipped than your average French ski resort but beware if you are situated close to the O’Chaud bar you will get no sleep! The bar has a DJ every night playing incredibly loud music until 2am, this is proudly announced on the animations schedule for the village so happens all the time it seems. We were glad in the end that we weren’t staying the full week…. The layout of the buildings is quite confusing when you first arrive, it would be good to know in advance where your apartment is as we and quite a few others had to wander village to find our building then the corridors for a while trying to find the building reception. Again apartments are quite comfortable but rather dark and the balconies are all locked off for safety reasons which is a shame. I would return but only if I could guarantee a location away from late night bar.
