“I just wanted to say how much fun we all had with you last week, and what an great set up you have – the food was imaginative, beautifully cooked and presented, plus you produced excellent meals for Luke; as you could tell by the clean plates we were all very appreciative and it was all done to such a high standard, just what we like!”
Rachel, Hugh and Luke, April 2011
“Thanks for a wonderful week. One of our best chalet holidays so far! We will definitely be back in the future to sample more of Francesca’s fantastic food….Ace week!”
Kirsty and Dave, February 2011
“We had a fantastic ski holiday …. thank you… your chalet is first class, very comfortable and tastefully decorated combined with your genuine and natural hospitality, superb food (and wine of course!) we could not have asked for more …….
The location of the chalet is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting to explore the 3 valleys without having to stay in one of the busier resorts and we would definitely recommend powdernshine to our friends and family. Wishing you both all the best and success for the rest of the season !!
Hope to see you again”

“Thank you so much for your great hospitality. We have never stayed in a chalet before and you have made our first experience a great one. The food was fabulous and so was the wine. You have a real gem of a chalet here and we will be recommending you whenever we get the opportunity.”
Rich and Del, February 2011
“You deserve to be successful. Great food, fantastic chalet in a perfect location. But add to that your natural hospitality and attention to detail, you have a winning combination. Thanks for a great week…we will be back!”
Steve, Tanya, Olga and Roman, January 2011
“We have had a wonderful holiday. We were impressed with you before we came out and you both just confirmed this. Your attention to detail is amazing. Thank you!”
Martin, Sue, Simon, Sarah and Matthew, January 2011
“A very cosy chalet, where everyone feels at home immediately. The food is amazing. You both are super hosts, we all really felt at home. We had an amazing skiing holiday. This is a place we will definitely recommend to family and friends – Good Luck!

“I have just returned from Reberty 2000 in the 3 Valleys, and stayed at a real find.
Chalet Flocon des Neiges is run by Francesca and Stephen who started their company
Powder N Shine last year. The chalet is comfortable with quality linen and furnishings, enough space to hang everything and a level of service and personal attention hard to find.
But the real secret is the food. Simply the best I have ever experienced in any chalet in over 15 years in the Alps. Original, delicious and served with a smile and enthusiasm.
Add’ ski in, ski out’ at 2000 metres and sensible prices and you won’t go anywhere else.
But please don’t tell anyone!!”

” I recently travelled to The Three Valleys on a photo shoot and was recommended Powder n Shine as a place to stay. Steve and Francesca were fantastic hosts and were really helpful during our stay as well as being good fun. I’ve stayed in a lot of chalets over the years but can honestly say this was one of the best and Frans food is amazing (the most important aspect of any chalet holiday I think!)
The shoot was a great success and I for one will definitely return.”

“Thank you so much for the best family holiday we have ever had. Your hospitality was second to none and nothing was ever too much trouble. All your planning and hosting was much appreciated. To spend Christmas with such a splendid group of new friends who welcomed us in from day one was really heart warming. Christmas Eve was hilarious when we all tobogganed down the hill to see the big FC, and fireworks and the complementary snow ball fight really made my kids Christmas. I loved the lavender sleep pillows, the beautiful rooms, sauna and jacuzzi, heated boot rack, magnificent afternoon cakes and treats that were always so delicious and much appreciated by all. Every single meal that you both cooked us was simply fantastic, you catered for every ones individual needs with such finesse and humour, I honestly don’t know how you did it!
I know you and Steve are already a great success with Powder N Shine but I’m sure you are on the way to building a great empire of chalets that will beat all the competition into the ground. If there is anything at all in the future we can help you with you have only but to ask, even if it’s for a re match of the chalet murder mystery game!”
Big Hugs and Love from Ali, Andrew, Elenya and Lockie Turner-Jones, December 2010
“I just wanted to say a big thank you to both of you for making our stay so enjoyable. There wasn’t anything that was too much trouble for you. The food and wine were both superb as was the jacuzzi after a long day’s skiing!! We all look forward to spending some time on the slopes with you again next year! Best Wishes, Laurence”

“It was amazing – parsnip mash to die for – everything was divine, as indeed was all the food over the last 2 weeks – feel I’ve gained about 10lbs!!! Guess I’ll be working out even harder for a few weeks.
Powder n Shine – fully recommend 5 Michelin stars for food & top class hospitality, can’t fault anything. Fran & Steve work so very hard in everything they do & still somehow find time to spend socialising with their guests. Fantastic xx”
Margaret Lambert – Guest in December 2010
“We too have just returned from this fantastic Chalet and we could not have asked for anything more from our holiday….fantastic location, beautiful and well looked after bedrooms, AMAZING food, great wines and fantastic hosts who made you feel very much like house guests rather than paying customers. And to top it al…l FRESH snow and in Kevens words “one of the best powder days ever – thanks to Steve for his knowledge of where to find the best runs of the day”
We will definitely be back and will not hesitate to recommend you to all our friends.
Best of luck with everything you do in the future – You WILL realise your dreams and I’m sure we will see you winning awards for best Chalet very soon.
Hope you both have a great Christmas and New Year.

“I recently had the pleasure of spending a week snowboarding in Reberty, being hosted by Steve and Francesca. Not only was the weather and snow amazing but myself and my 2 other friends received some fantastic hospitality. If we had any problems Steve and Francesca were more than happy to help, and with my French being limited this was very handy.
And as for the food well if i could take Francesca back with me then i would, it was some the finest meals i have ever had along with some superb local wines to cap it all off.
I would definitely recommend Powder N Shine since their attention to detail is second to none.”
Martin from Warwick, 2010
“I’ve just returned home after having a brilliant week staying with Fran and Steve in Reberty. In addition to the great weather and snow, their hospitality and excellent cooking was really appreciated by us all. I’ll definitely be coming back next year”
Stuart from Kenilworth, 2010
“Thank you for your outstanding work in making our week in Reberty so enjoyable. The skiing was excellent, the food even better and yours and Steve’s local knowledge and hospitality first class. See you next year!”
Stephen from Paris, 2010
“Thank you for a wonderful holiday in the alps. The skiing was fantastic and the accommodation superb. We really appreciate all your help in getting us set up and looking after us over the week. Natalie and I are both in agreement that we have never eaten so well in a ski resort, your cooking was delicious.”
Sam and Natalie from London, 2010
