Le Kern Hotel
Charming hotel in the centre of Val d'Isère
Small, charming 2-star hotel situated in the heart of Val d’Isere, just 3 minutes from the foot of the slopes. A combination of exposed beams, antique furnishings, polished wood and the care and attention of the proprietor, Mme Isabelle Marie, has made this hotel a firm favourite with guests, many of whom return year after year.
The hotel has 18 traditionally-styled rooms across five floors (no lift), all of which have cable television, telephone and either bath or shower en-suite facilities.
Operating on a bed and breakfast basis, guests can start the day with a substantial buffet breakfast served in the hotel lounge or in your room if preferred. After a hard day on the slopes, you can relax and enjoy a drink in the hotel's bar with complimentary snacks. Although the hotel does not have its own restaurant, there are several dining options in close proximity.
It is located just 200m from the base of the Solaise and Bellevarde Express lifts and the ski school meeting point. The free ski bus stops 20m away from the hotel and there is also covered parking available.
Given the popular appeal and small size of the hotel last minute weekend and peak season dates are rare - we recommend you book well in advance.
