Everything was great.
Reviewed 28 May 2024
The hotel and everything was great. The hotel requested that people dress nicely for their dinner attire, but lots of people didn’t pay attention to this so we relaxed a bit later on in the week to wear jeans and a smart top for example. It would be really helpful to have the option for formal/informal dinning.
The staff were all very lovely and we were well looked after, they were very attentive.
The pool was lovely with various seating areas and a bit of a lounge area upstairs.
The spa area had two different saunas, one for adults only and another for not adults only, but we saw some things that we can’t unsee in the non-adults only sauna (especially with our 15yr old). I’m aware of these cultural approaches and we avoided the adult only ones for this reason, but it put me off using the facilities, especially doing it with a youth.
They also had rules about what to wear in different locations, but it wasn’t policed by the staff – just a minor note to be aware of.
Overall we had a great trip though! The food was good but we had our 15yr old child with us and they really made a meal of drawing out the 7-course meals. To do this every night became a little tiresome, so just be aware that it is quite extravagant. It was a formal waiter service dinning affair. You choose at breakfast time what you wanted for your courses in the evening (including vegetarian choices). It’s all very grand and they have the wine instructions etc. but it’s all a bit much for a full week. We didn’t make lunch at all as we had lunch on the mountain so I can’t comment on this. From a ski point of view, there was a nursery slope very close to the hotel, but more often than not it tended to be closed. Also the lessons etc. all tended to be up on the mountain so we didn’t really use that nursery slope much. There is a bus stop outside the hotel but as a beginner skier it would have been nice to have been told on the first day where to catch it, but otherwise it was fine. We found some ski lockers near the slopes as well which made it much easier than carrying the skis around.

We had a fantastic time with our 2 kids here. The Spa was unbelievable! You swim inside, go through some sliding doors, and then you’re outside swimming in the snow! Out of 5, the spa would get 5++!
Rooms were ok, though not great – there was one weird thing: It sounded like one side of the hotel had mountain views and the other looked out onto the street, so we paid extra to have a mountain view, then cheaped out putting the kids in a standard room. But actually both sides had the same view so we needn’t have paid more. Ours was beautifully done and more spacious than theirs, which was pokey.
Food was great and restaurant service generally fantastic… They couldn’t bring you food fast enough! Apart from the one night when the guy who served us had a day off – then it seemed like we’d dropped off the face of the earth and service was awful, we had to keep asking for food.
The overall service was really good.
