The pictures on the booking.com website only tell half the story....we found a Scandinavian 'hygge' paradise run by Magnus and his team, with Albin the ever-present source of wisdom and support. Everything is so tastefully done, warm, cosy and candle lit, with vaulted ceilings and a really laid back super-friendly vibe. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, mostly from Sweden and always in perfect English. The roaring fire and 'rotisserie' dining experience with a variety of fresh salads, served alongside the flame-cooked locally sourced meats and game, were a surprise addition that really made our stay quite the unique experience! Breakfast was a viking-level feast, with every option available to send us on our way to the slopes ready for action and with pic-nic baguettes packed.

There is nothing to dislike about this 3 star hotel that punches well above its weight. This is not a 5-star luxury resort hotel at a ski-in/out location charging a king's-ransom for spoon-fed frills. But, if you know your ski-stuff, appreciate what really matters in the mountains and are the adventurous type that enjoys an independent holiday experience - then this is a must-do unique place to stay. The Aravet ski lift is only a short walk and the Skimium rental shop is en route, couldn't be simpler! If you have a car, then the entire valley opens up to you, beyond the service timetable of the resort bendy-bus. It also makes ski day-trips to Montgenevre, La Grave and Puy villages just a 30 minute hop. As Arnie once said..."We'll be Back!".

Gorgeous, quirky building full of character. Room was very comfortable, balcony was a treat. Breakfast was excellent every day, and the evening meal was really superb - like an old style chalet but on a larger scale.

Lovely hotel: rooms are spacious, bedding comfy and view over the mountains is top notch! Special thanks to Erik for his welcoming, kindness and flexibility.

The hotel has been decorated with a lot of taste, the building is old and incredibly charming. It is completed by a beautiful terrace. Ideally placed in the center of La Salle Les Alpes, the room is fairly priced. We loved it and hopefully will come back in winter. Parking is 2minutes walk from the entrance.

There is nothing we didn't like about the place.

We staid for one night as part of our plan to do a Lac de la Dauche track in the Des Ecrins park and visit Briancon. The hotel located in an old building with wooden stairs and floors. Has very rustic vibe. Good wi fi services. Spacious room for a family of four. The hosts were very pleasant.

- welcome - breackfast-

inform that access by car is not clear : the car must park in the parking- access to the hotel by disabled persons is difficult

Great place with lots of character. Helpful friendly staff, lovely room, quiet, peaceful, good views.
