We really enjoyed our stay here and were impressed by the care and attention to both the design of the space and the detailed instructions.
The apartment is full of all the things which come in handy and the beds are very comfortable. The views from the large balcony are stunning. Costanza was really quick to answer all our queries, though almost everything is covered in detail in the two information packs provided, including helpful photos to identify where everything is.
We knew we would be further away from the village, but as we are quick walkers just took the road down in around 15 minutes. The short cut looked improbable in the snow.
Parking is tricky, as others have said. It was warm on our second day so we cleared the drive and managed to get the car into the garage (shovel inside). The columns in the garage make it difficult and you will need someone to direct you. Also in the winter it really wasn’t possible to park on the grass verge indicated. There is plenty of parking in the village below though.
The ‘hobbit room is very low, as indicated in the description but perfectly usable if you take care.
Valtournenche is brilliant, as it is a proper village with real character and everyone is so friendly. Top tip - book your skis from the small shop on the main road, just by the turn off for the ski lift (use Skimium). The owner puts your gear out every morning (we even had our own boots) and you can then walk through the car park straight onto the return piste.
Thanks for making our stay so special.
