Hotels in Val d'Isere — 2 of Our Favourites

It's a family friendly hotel with a games room for the children, a video room, and access to the garden to make snowmen. There's also a baby stroller, bottle warmer, changing mats and baby monitors available for you to use, and the hotel can book baby sitters should you require one.

WiFi is free throughout the hotel and each of the rooms is equipped with a flat screen TV and a bathroom with either a shower or bathtub. The rooms are split over 4 floors, with some sleeping 2, 4, or 6 people and there are two lots of 2 rooms that interconnect sleeping two in each room on the second and third floor.

If you're looking for a larger group to stay you have the option to privatise a floor (e.g. a group of 14 people can book out the first floor) - please enquire for details.

Have a drink in the library lounge before going to dinner, where you can try the house speciality which is a casserole to share between the group or family.

The Refuge is only accessible via the ski slopes and the new Solaise Gondola lift, so when the ski lifts close you will be cut off from the rest of the world. Once there, and in the silence that follows the closing of the lifts, you can experience 'one-ness' with the mountains as you enjoy 360-degree views and discover unexpected comfort at altitude.

The hotel is made up of 4 apartments and 16 beautifully appointed rooms, as well as 'The Dormitory', a restaurant, a spa, a library with a fireplace, a projection room for the evenings and a seminar area. A range of room types are available:

• Classic rooms sleep up to 2 people and offer panoramic floor to ceiling windows, a large double bed or 2 single beds, a bathroom with a shower.
• Superior rooms for 2-3 people include panoramic windows overlooking the village and the valley, a large double bed or two single beds, a sitting area with sofa bed, a bathroom with shower and bathtub and separate toilet.
