Our experience at Altapura was VERY mixed. On arrival our room was (what I consider to be) a freezing 18 degrees. Call me high maintenance, but I like a room in a 5-star hotel in an Alpine ski resort to be warm. We immediately asked how we could raise the temperature and were told that the heating was centrally controlled... More

I did not sleep here, but visited the hotel. The front desk lady was very friendly and showed me the hotel. I saw a standard room and a duplex suite. Both rooms were very comfortable and were roomy. The bar was exceptional! Prices were ok and the drinks were good! They even drove us to our hotel l'Oxalys for free.... More

I stayed in this hotel twice - this April and last December when it was just opened. Before I stayed in the same class Fitz Roy hotel there. It was a big difference. Fitz Roy - not very old but ls already lousy and spited. But Altapura is not so posh but pretty decent place , modern, clean, well designed.... More

Lives up to expectations. Ski in and out. Only niggles drinks very expensive and ski room a bit small. One of the nicest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in.

We stayed at the Altapura for a week Easter skiing. The location on the mountain side is ideal, ski in and out. The staff are so helpful and pleasant and can't do enough for you. We ate alternate evenings in the Restaurant Les Enfants Terrible which was out of this world!! We could choose from the a la carte menu... More

We stayed in the Altapura hotel for a week ski holliday, It was our first time in Val Thores and we could not have asked for a better place. Everything was perfect the location, staff, food and room. The hotel spa is excelent and the swimming pool wonderful after a day's skiing. We are definitely comming back next year.

Modern, stylish but relaxed, the staff and service were excellent in every department and could not have been more helpful or friendly. Food in all the restaurants was first class and prices very good. The half board option is to be highly recommended. The spa is heavenly, the... More

Staff were professional and catered to any queries with deft. The hotel is what I would consider designer ski lodge style. Modern and stylish but comfortable... More
