Etablissement très conviviale avec une équipe très jeune, mais tellement dynamique aux commandes. Très bien situé avec un accès direct aux piste depuis le local ski.

Résidence hôtel toute neuve au calme. À 2 mn des commerces mais possible de partir skis aux pieds. Chambre immense avec lit King size qui aurait mérité l’ajout d’une baignoire en plus de la douche à l’italienne.
