This place is spot on for group trips and family getaways. It’s modern, self-catered and right on the slopes too - simply hop in the lift that's connected to the hotel, ride down to the piste and click in to explore the huge 3 Valleys ski area.

The building itself has an up-to-date alpine look, with lots of natural wood and stone. Inside, the apartments all have separate bedrooms, and are equipped with everything you’ll need to whip up tasty meals. The supermarket’s right next door, and you can make things even easier by booking a fresh bread and shopping delivery, all you’ll have to do is pick it up from reception. Don’t fancy cooking? Book a table in the hotel restaurant, or get it to go and tuck into it in the comfort of your own apartment.

As for extras, there’s plenty going on. Swap ski gear for swimwear and take a well-earned dip in the pool or relax in the sauna and steam room. You can also borrow board games if you fancy a chilled night in. And there’s even childcare available, so kids can get stuck into games and activities while you squeeze some extra ski time or a session in the spa.
