I've skied for thirty years and, as a rule, I've slummed it. Cheap basic accommodation, usually booked last minute, and a twenty minute hike to the ski lifts. Which means the luxury of this place was a breathtaking revelation. But then so were the prices. The upsides: wonderful old-fashioned service, supremely comfortable beds and a position that just could not... more

Stayed at hotel Christiania in Feb 2009 for my 30th Birthday, had booked as I wanted something special. First, location is excellent, right at the bottom of the slopes, in town centre but set back from the main road so quiet.

Having booked into one of the best hotels in Val D'Isere, I expected something a little more special than I found. The hotel is very disappointing upon arrival (no grand entrance or drive, no elegant reception desk) and there was, from time to time, a faint smell of drains in the lobby area. The rooms were a little tired (my... more
