The hotel has wonderful old world charm; not necessarily THE most convenient for skiing but I would stay there again in a heartbeat! We had a spacious room with nice decor that you expect from a traditional skiing hotel. The hotel is over 100 years old but quite well kept up with modern facilities. The spa (pool and saunas are brand new) and very relaxing after a long day on the slopes; it's also a great spot to meet and chat.

We had breakfast, high tea and dinner included and they were to die for. You have to walk to and from the ski lift since it is not a ski in/out place but you can keep the skies and boots in the facilities right at the lift and I enjoyed walking down Main Street after a long day of skiing. There is no entertainment in the hotel at night but we strolled down Main Street after dinner since it is located in the heart of the village. Right behind the hotel is a village spa/pool/sauna. Also, if you love saunas, you are in for a real treat! Not only are there amazing views BUT ALSO it is coed. Yes! Both members of the opposite sex are in their birthday suits together!

While I personally am not a big fan of this environment, there was no pressure to disrobe. Also, we met the most colorful people in the sauna: a British banker who was an extreme skier and an Australian ski instructor who have been to Russia on a skiing trip and traveled to and forth in a third class train/pats kart.

The experts in our skiing group felt that French Alps were a bit more challenging, it was however, enough for me since I was a beginning skier at the time. The ski school is considered one of the best and I definitely improved my skiing skills there!  

Writing this made me so nostalgic for the Alps again; perhaps I need to go back soon!
