Twinned with the Des Neiges, this often-missed oasis of calm shares all the best aspects of its better-known sister establishment.

To walk into the welcoming lobby it is easy to forget that you are in the middle of a bustling ski resort and, from the moment of check-in, the attentive and friendly staff give the impression that you are the most important person in the world.

The hotel has a fantastic restaurant with great views onto the mountain, serving an interesting mix of traditional Savoyard and International cuisine.

The bedrooms and suites are large and stylishly decorated with a Savoyard feel. All have private balconies overlooking either the village or mountain, as well as the little touches one would expect of a four star hotel.

If you need a bit more relaxation there is a very smart “Wellness Centre” featuring Hammam, sauna, Jacuzzi, fully fitted gym and beauty parlour.

Anyone who wants to ski straight out of the ski room and yet be a minute’s walk from the centre of the village, and enjoy terrific hospitality without feeling crowded will find the Trois Vallées an absolute treat.
