2 Disabled apartments
Spacious, easy-to-access bathroom, equipped with a shower for wheelchair, toilets with power-grip, only the sink is slightly higher than usual.
Access:
Easy access to reception, bar, lounge and restaurant.
No access to the children's' clubs, sauna and TV room.
NOTE In winter, communal areas must be accessed via the outside. In extreme cases of heavy snowfall, it would be impossible for a wheelchair user to leave the apartment without assistance from someone else.
Parking:
No disabled parking spaces but a site nearby is possible.
Difficult in winter if only for vehicles, since the car park is gravelled, not tarmacked, so snow can only be cleared from this type of car park with a ground-scraping blade. There will always be clumps of snow, ice or water.
Overall rating (rating on a scale from 0 to 4)

Nous avons passé de bonnes vacances, toutefois 2 randos de niveaux différents par jourauraient été appréciées. Nous ressentons une baisse des moyens de VTF depuis que nous connaissons cette association (+ 20 ans)
