Excellent skiing holiday hotel
This is our third year staying at this excellent, friendly family run hotel. It is very conveniently located opposite the Tovets chairlift which takes you up to Courchevel 1850 within a few minutes. The size and quality of the rooms is fine and the food (breakfast and dinner) is excellent. Overall we highly recommend it.
