We stayed in the apartments section above the hotel, which tripadvisor does not seem to have a section for but it is run as a separate entity. We are a family of 5 but stayed in the 6-8 person apartment knowing the size of typical French apartments and we are glad we did - 8 people sharing one toilet would... More

This was our first ski trip to Europe. The Val Chaviere is not a high-end luxury hotel but it's older but clean, cheerful and was quite comfortable for our week long visit. The staff was wonderful to us even with ours being a large group, they provided lots of helpful advise to benefit our visit. My wife and I had... More

We stayed at this hotel the first week in March 2012. It is located next to the main piste and it is possible to ski in and out from the hotel. The room decor is looking a bit tired. The room was adequate size wise but the narrow toilet was always cold- stone floor & no heating. The staff were... More

Stayed here with husband and friends in jan. Arrived on new years eve very bedraggled after a hideous 11 hour transfer courtesy of incompetent crystal staff. We'd barely got into the hotel and the staff handed us a free drink (part of the NYE celebration). We were checked in within a couple of minutes and being served a meal even... More

We've been to Val Thorens many times and this was our third stay at Val Chaviere. The hotel is ideally located near enough to the centre of town for bars, shops and ski hire etc but away from all the noise. From the hotel ski room one can ski out onto the piste to the central bowl of the Place... More

We have just returned from an excellent week in Val Thorens, enjoying the benefits of skiing to and from the hotel. It seemed odd that there was no boot room to put our skiboots in, and clumping snow into our bedroom seemed unusual! The public areas in the hotel were all pleasant places to relax after a hard day's skiing,... More

Easy ski in and ski out hotel, comfortable but basic rooms, lots of hot water, very friendly hotel staff, centrally positioned and good location for many lifts, quiet rooms and out of the way of boisterous night clubs. Food plentiful but no choice and not good for vegetarians. Cosy bar and charming staff. Breakfast substantial and a reasonable choice offered.... More

Stayed here with friends week commencing 28th Jan 2012. Fantastic location, just 2 mins from ski school meeting point & a short walk from all the town's ameneties. Being able to ski in & ski out is a real bonus. This is a family run hotel and all staff were very helpful and attentive. Free wi-fi in the lounge &... More

The Hotel is in a great location, with ski in, ski out, an easy walk to all the bars and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are modestly sized, but clean and well kept and maintained with a high pressure shower (important on ski trips). The views on one side of the hotel are great. A... More
