Village Club du Soleil Valmorel

23 - 30. März 2013 - Im dritten Besuch in diesem all-inclusive-Hotel - was ich durchaus für Familien mit vielen hungrigen Kinder empfehlen. Kurze (recht) Transfer vom Flughafen Chambery. Check-in: Schlüssel, bargeldloser Bezahlung mit Kreditkarte, Skipässen und Skier (gegenüber der Lobby) alles in weniger als 45 Minuten. Piste nur ein paar Schritte von der Umkleidekabine. Essen und Wein (wie in anderen Kritiken erwähnt) ist ausgezeichnet. Terrance BBQ Lunch toll, wenn das Wetter gut ist. Nur zwei Nachteile - vermeiden Sie den oberen Etagen des Nebengebäudes (z.B. Zimmer S50/51) es sei denn, Sie sind in Ordnung mit einem langen Spaziergang - was kann anstrengend sein kann, wenn die Kinder etwas vergessen. Mehr ist das Thema unserer Meinung nach dem enttäuschenden Lounge - nach dem Skifahren zu versammeln und nach den Mahlzeiten. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem traditionellen Lounge sind mit Kaminen und vielen bequemen Sesseln ist dies nicht der richtige Ort für Sie. Great Family Ski Hotel!

Aufenthalt (mit Ausnahme eines Detail) war perfekt. Das ganze Team war super freundlich, lächelnd und dynamisch: parabelbrennpunkt, Team in der Rezeption, im Restaurant und das Restaurant Team, Instandhaltung, Skier Rezeption, Bar, Animation, ... ... , ... , ... Im Winter: angefangen mit Ski direkt am Fuß: 10 m zu Fuß. Mahlzeiten: ausgezeichnet und abwechslungsreich, Wein wird ... (Ich bin ein großer Fan von Wein und es ist eine exzellente Tischwein) Super freundlichem Animationsteam für Kinder. Für den Preis des Aufenthalts ... nichts zu sagen ... Nur ein kleines Problem: das Zimmer war für zwei Personen sehr dunkel, da keine Fenster, sind aber 1 Velux deshalb schwierig und Luft, Licht. Chamber für 5 Personen war perfekt.

Have so many times tried to speak to their reservation team. Continue to be cut off or told we only speak French. Have emailed multiple times, requested call backs daily and even tried contacting through Facebook. Nothing. Terrible service to the UK if they are unable to contact me. And I want to pay them the final amount of my booking. So disappointed and now lost!

Just returned from a week of ski in Valmorel. The entire ski area is great, and the ski-in/ski-out access from the hotel is the greatest advantage. Also the ski rental service is very good. Our rooms were located on the 1st floor of the main building and they were NOT very comfortable (especially beds) - but good enough for a sleep after a busy day of ski. Last but not the least - the food: the breakfast was standard, the lunch and the dinner varied every day - but the quality of the food was also different every day, some days it was perfect, some days it was terrible. There are couple of restaurants in the walking distance and couple of ski shops - but nothing else. All in all, it was a very good ski vacation. But if you're not lucky with the weather - there is not much to do there.

This hotel is just what we expected for a three star hotel. The room was more than big enough for four of us and although it was basic, it was cosy and clean but there was no safe or air con (when it got hot we opened the balcony door to cool the room down - there was also a window over the bunk beds). The bathroom was a really good size with bath and over bath shower. The food was good and fresh and my husband and I had no complaints and there was also free wine at lunch and dinner. For children it would have been nice however to have an earlier sitting for kids and slightly more child friendly food options on some days. That said almost every day they served freshly made crepes at the bar to welcome you back off the slopes for a couple of Euros which delighted the children. But the big pluses for this hotel are: 1 - it is in a fantastic location- you could ski off from just outside the restaurant terrace, which is a few seconds from the Altispace lift at the bottom of the slope the hotel sits on and we could ski right back. 2 - the Ski School (ESF) has a counter in reception so you can book up the ski school without leaving the hotel, the ski instructors came to collect children from outside the hotel's terrace at 9.30am off parents and delivered them back at 12 in time for lunch. If your kids are in children snow village as they are not quite up to going out onto the slopes the hotel staff take them by bus and return them back to the hotel. And their medal presentations at the week were in the hotel saloon. 3 - You can hire all your ski equipment here from just off the reception so you can getting going as soon as your lift passes start. For families it was definitely hassle free. As it's not a majorly popular resort as yet for Brits most staff and fellow guests are just French speaking. But as well as three staff members speaking very good English as I know a little French, I was able to get buy fine in terms of communication. The only downside of this element for the kids was that all the children in children's clubs were French so they found it difficult to join in communal activities. But Valmorel as a resort was a fantastic venue, wide open pistes and not a lot of ski traffic, so very nice ski-ing and we would definitely return.
