I spent a week here with a friend and our 5 children. We had a wonderful adventure, exploring the mountains and local villages. Pippa is a brilliant host - nothing is too much trouble. She made recommendations based on our individual needs and on the weather, and everything she advised us to do was fantastic. The accommodation is unique and very comfortable - ideal for families sharing and exciting for children who want to explore new places. The garden is a wild and beautiful sun trap, where we spent many happy hours and watched the cherry blossom emerge on surrounding trees. A highlight for us was our trip to Les Grandes Bain, Serre Chevalier's thermal spa. We floated outside in steaming water as mist drifted across the mountain tops - magical. Highly recommend Snowgums for families, friends and couples.

Thank you for a wondrous stay
I stayed at this most beautiful, authentic and utterly charming alpine house with my 11 year old daughter - alongside my friend with her 4 daughters occupying the other flat at Snowgums in the gorgeous early Springtime/end of the ski season.
Firstly the most important thing was Pippa who really felt like a friend and who made our stay so easy, from lending us suncream (who knew it could be that warm?), to having every top tip and idea for little and bigger adventures to share with us.
The amazing wildflower garden was perfect for small children to race about, swinging under the tree, creating a cafe in the beautiful little Wendy type house, racing the toy tractors around and sitting in the grass spotting flowers and insects - whilst Pippa's dog Shein was a great friend too. Many days and evenings reading and savouring a cheeky glass of cider or wine whilst the sun went down whilst kids played was picture perfect.
Without trying too hard, the rooms are authentic, cozy and with everything we needed. To make life easy we mostly ate at home (expense and suiting all small tastes) with inexpensive very conveniant supermarket options and the classically fantastic local patisserie providing amazing bread and pastries every morning.
I enjoyed some lovely morning runs with local views verging from spectacular to transcendent as you find yourself gasping at the mountains lit by hazy sunshine.
Particular highlights were the nearby lake where the braver ones went for a dip and found local ponies coming to join them for a splash! Also our trip to a most amazing local spa was a universally agreed top moment. Very good value for a really luxurious spa experience and outside pool area - family friendly and just spectacular. Do not miss out!
The old town of Briançon was just beautiful and a really relaxed stroll with amazing old fashioned Alpine narrow cobbled streets - very Diagon alley feel - and a shoo in for a little crepe stop in the little market Square.
We took a cable car up the mountain and discovered a fabulous one ticket ride as many times as you like standard option which the kids thought was epic - and having a lovely meal at the top in the copies restaurant that looked like it was inside a Christmas John Lewis advert!! Rugs, fires, raclette and tartiflette in abundance (and noone minded we weren't on skis!)
A brilliant offer from Pippa that we were so grateful for was arranging the absolutely gorgeous 3 course meals prepped and ready for us which we booked for the first and last nights. Sri Lankan curry was just delicious - and we felt really spoiled. Well worth the extra we all agreed this had been a winning option, and happily catered for our one vegetarian.
I would recommend this amazing holiday option without hesitation. Thank you so much Pippa you were just wonderful xx we want to come back ASAP!!

Like being at home, but placed at an unbeatable spot
We have had a fantastic stay at this home. Believe me if I say that my family and I felt like we were at home. Host support for whatever request we came up with and her recommendations regarding possible activities in the area were key to making the most of our stay. Many things still to be done so we plan to come back asap. An unforgetable experience, for sure!

Charming Alpine Vacation
We are a family of 4, with two kids (5 and 7). Pippa's place came highly recommended by close friends and boy, they were right! We found a charming and well appointed bottom floor of an old stone house, with a large garden accessible from the house. The garden has mountain views and was a very popular place for our two kids, who could amuse themselves in full security afforded by a stone wall. There were even a few toys which added to its allure for the kids. The adults could sip their morning coffee on the sunny small deck while the kids could run around. The main room features a futon (we didn't use it), a full kitchen, and a nice room table.
Pippa was an A+ host. Ever ready to advise us on a daily basis, she was a generous and astute guide to the area, very sensitive to the needs of the particular client. Her shepherd dog, Chine, is very cute and was a huge draw for our kids, as was Pippa herself. Her recommendations for hikes and other activities were spot on. She went above and beyond to make our stay special.
The house is a 3 minute walk from a glacial river with walking or running paths. I enjoyed runs on these paths in the cool mornings. The family had some nice walks there.
We mostly cooked. There are also french dinners and Sri Lankan dinners available a la carte. We really enjoyed 2 Sri Lankan dinners during our stay: the cuisine is most closely allied with Indian. They were excellent!
In the guest book, our kids wrote: LOVE APARTMENT, LOVE CHINE, LOVE HIKING, LOVE ALPS, LOVE FIELD, THANK YOU!!
On our page of the guest book, I wrote: "This place has a magic to it and has held a great charm for adults and kids (obviously) alike. Our kids are now baptized as hikers. Thank you for your generous care for your visitors and property. We loved it and hope to see you very soon!"

Fantastic stay, highly recommended
We had a great stay at Snowgums in August 2020. Pippa is an amazing host, sharing all her tips for great hikes and attractions in the area. Thanks to her suggestions, we had a fabulous time exploring the area and relaxing with some great homecooked food (from one of the local chefs). The apartment is very comfortable and with easy access to the garden- ideal for kids. Great for a family holiday. Highly recommend and can't wait to stay at Snowgums again.

Pet and child friendly with beautiful scenery
We loved staying at Snowgums! The apartment is very homely and Pippa is extremely welcoming and a fantastic resource as she knows so much about the area. Although we visited in the summer there was still plenty to do - the ice cave at La Grave was very impressive and our kids (aged 3 and 6) also loved the Monty express (luge), and of course Le Tour was a highlight! Our children had many hours of fun running their restaurant in the Wendy house and having races with our dog each evening down to the bottom of the field out front. We hope to come back in the winter and try some skiing soon!

Wonderful hospitality
We stayed in Pippa's wonderful abode for a week the end of February. As Canadians, the skiing this year was almost too warm for us (!), and Pippa had many wonderful alternative ideas for walking in the beautiful valleys surrounding Briancon. We so appreciated her hospitality and suggestions. The apartment is comfortable - roomy for just the two of us - and very well located on the edge of Briancon. And the welcome basket was delicious!

Perfect for families first skiing holiday!
What a great time!
We stayed at snowgums over the Feb half term. It was our first skiing holiday as a family (2 kids aged 8 and 6). We had a fantastic time which was made better by staying at snowgums.
Why? Because this place is about hospitality and personality. It is not your typical apartment in a complex with all the associated facilities but an apartment in old village building. That means it has quirky features but is very homely. Perfect for us.
It is less than a five minute drive from the ski station where you can park easily. Or you cab walk in ten minutes to the bus in the morning. What really made it was the welcome (including hamper) and advice from Pippa and Becky. Before we got there she made recommendations about ski school, ski hire and an offer of daily childcare. All worked really well. The best bit being that every day she looked after our kids while we skied. This was for a few but very worthwhile Euros. The kids loved being entertained at her place with the dog, cat and of course Becky. This made the holiday! We definitely recommend this for families with younger children. We hope to be back next year.
Thanks again Pippa & Becky!

Wonderful apartment with friendly host and superb location
We've had such a wonderful Christmas break skiing Serre Chevalier and enjoying the hospitality of Pippa and Becky who made us so welcome, with special touches that added a lot to the festive atmosphere. Guests experience a very special ambiance in this apartment, which has been sensitively restored and tastefully decorated. The skiing was the best we've ever had, helped by sunshine and blue skies. A highlight was the long traverse from Briancon to Monetier, connected high up the mountains by long blue and red runs. We hope to come back in summer to enjoy the walking and try out the via ferratas. Thanks again - truly a Very Special Place to Stay.
