We cherished the house and the quiet setting.

Nevertheless, our expertise was impacted by the warmth. On scorching summer time days (29°C/84°F), our chalet was uncomfortably heat throughout the day, even with fully-drawn curtains. There isn’t any AC and followers should not supplied, even upon request. Although the temperature drops at evening, the chalet was far too heat within the afternoon.

Closing Ideas

Positioned straight in a ski resort, Trifortet was naturally imagined for winter tourism and winter friends. 

When you go to throughout excessive summer time, when it’s particularly heat, Triforet fails to ship an excellent expertise. The out of doors swimming pool is just too heat (32 C). We have been baffled that they didn’t lower the pool temperature, given the warmth.

Moreover, on scorching days, the chalets are uncomfortably heat within the afternoons (between 12 pm and 5 pm). After we requested a fan, we have been knowledgeable that they don’t have any followers, as a result of they need to cut back their carbon footprint.

We suggest visiting solely in autumn, when temperatures are cooler, or after all in winter.
