Orelle Orelle-Caron Gondola Hotels

"The vieuw is greet. P1 is near the building.The appartment to little for many adults. (You cannot stand at the big bedroom and there is no window upstairs). Also its difficult for everyone to take a shower, a verry quick shower is possible.The cleaning was not verry well. My son in law was verry short of breath in the house. Unfortunatly, the noise from people afther visit a club was heavy, till 4.00 am."

"Perfect apartment for a ski vacation in Val Thorens! The apartment is near plenty of restaurants and supermarkets, and it is in the center of town. In addition, the apartment is perfectly located for skiing and snowboarding!!"

"Lovely hotel - literally ski in/ski out, with the slopes right outside the doorstep (and a helpful ski locker in the basement). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitiely recommended for an upmarket experience on the ski slopes!"

"Very nice location! Realy close to telecabine, quiet area, good connection to skislopes. Accomodation was sufficient, but a bit cramped with 12 people. Only 3 seperate bedrooms, 1 mezzanine for 4 people to sleep (same area as dining room) and the living room (with fussballtable and tv) was needed as the 4th bedroom. But we had nice weather so we sat outside on the terrace:-)"

"Great location, staff and view. "

"Had an amazing stay at the altapura, read a few reviews a few days before we went and were worried, but it was great. Main complaints were about how hot the rooms were, which were understandable, but opening the window solved that. The other critique we read was about the restaurants and choice of food for half board. Breakfast was buffet and had a great selection. Dinner you get 65 euros contribution each evening towards food, which you can choose from the menu of the 3 different restaurants they have. European, Japanese and a cheese place. The food is all cooked fresh and to a great standard. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the hotel is in my opnion in the perfect location, ski in skin out, not far from several ski lifts, but not in thr centre of town so you don't get all the noise and footfall. Beds were really comfy, overall had a great experience and will be back next year! "

"Well-equipped and comfortable apartment in an excellent location. Ski locker downstairs with piste access was very convenient; boot hooks in the apartment itself. Short walk or ski from the top of the Cairn gondola. Great views of the mountain. Warm space in a quiet street. We enjoyed ourselves. Note there were two double beds in the upstairs room. No laundry facilities onsite; we used laundromat in town centre."

"Stayed at Hotel Marielle for three nights for a Spring snowboarding trip with my teenage son. Location is excellent right on the snow front with ski in ski put directly to the main lifts in Val Thorens. Reception, restaurant and bar staff were friendly professional, knowledgable and most importantly helpful and really made the stay a real pleasure. Room was spacious and clean and had a great view of the snow front. The terrace bar below does play music late afternoon till about 6 or 7 which adds to the buzz of the snow front location but if you want a quiet room better to ask for one at the back. Good selection of food options for breakfast and dinner (we did half board). Service gets a bit overwhelmed at peak pre ski school time 8.15 to 8.45am (our visit was in school holidays) with a few items running out on the buffet but they are quickly replaced if you ask. A second coffee machine might help for peak times! Decor is lovely - has a bit of a Parisian Boutique hotel feel to it. Huge spa with steam room and massive Sauna with a window onto the snow front. Although my son is a teenager now I thought the hotel was well set up for smaller children with lots staying, the ESF ski school straight out front and a decent games room. Val Thorens wa s great for Spring skiing lent to of snow relative to resorts further down the valley and the multitude of lifts meant no big queues. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Great ski in / ski out! 24hr check-in available at the property opposite which made things easier. Good boot room as well. Perfect for an easy week of skiing "
