It was a lot bigger and more lively than the relatively peaceful places we had stayed so far. Two negative things of note. We heard some loud noise in the middle of the night that woke us up. It was like a bass track on a stereo that was much to loud. It was like "thump, thump thump." Also, I got kind of sick the next day. Some of the cheese we bought at the shop here is one of the suspected causes. We have no proof but we are a bit suspicious.

Thank goodness Le Christiania was our first night out on the Tour Du Montblanc. Yes it is still rustic but the rooms are large bathrooms not too small....and it ain't a Hostel with 100 crazy frenchmen nor a Refugio high in the mountains without heat or running water. Great views from the rooms. Excellent hearty meals. Perfect location in Les Contamines. Would highly recommend.

Considered one of the 'snow-sure' resorts, Val d'Isere is more likely to have decent snow coverage than most. It has a variety of terrain to suit all abilities, a lovely town, modern lifts and is pretty easy to get to from Bourg St Maurice. You can't really go wrong with Val d'Isere!

Here at La Bouitte, a…read moresimilar-looking knife of similar significance accompanied me and my buddy Rhett for our entire meal. True to the region and everything one might expect when dining at a three-Michelin-starred French restaurant in France, this is the pinnacle of fine dining. This pinnacle is one you physically descend to reach if you're staying in Val Thorens. The 8-course tasting menu has more Easter eggs, so to speak, than an actual Easter basket. If this is one's first time encountering such a level of seriousness and perfectionism at a dinner table, you will find it overwhelming and exhausting. Even for me, a seasoned eater--a seasoned sitter--eclipsing four hours at La Bouitte was not a "marathon" for me. My best marathon finishing time is actually quite a bit faster. Aside from the endurance aspect (coupled with arranging reliable transportation to take you back to wherever you came from) it should be mentioned that the menu does extensively feature offal and classics like foie gras. This is not a place for picky American eaters, and not a place for the aspirational diner who wants to "collect" as many Michelin stars as possible. It's a log cabin wherein one can enjoy the meal of a lifetime, but it demands a certain palate and preparedness and, my god, travel time.

The best meal I've ever had…read more The craftsmanship in every course - even the butter was phenomenal - blew me away. I still dream about the cheese soufflé with crispy onions. The wine pairing was a match made in heaven... by the sommelier. The service was top notch. The fact that they take your ski boots and give you fluffy slippers to wear is the icing on the cake (after the 3 dessert courses).

As it turns out, they'd run out of rooms so we got an upgrade. It was cosy, warm (could control the thermostat), there was a TV and desk. Etroubles itself is a very small and honestly uninteresting little village but is not far from Aosta. Breakfast was in a large hall; buffet from 7-9:30 and continental from 9:30 to noon, if I recall correctly. Consisted of coffee, juice, bread, croissants, fruit, cereal and more. Recommended.
