Hôtel La Perelle
Ski-to-door on the Grand Domaine slope, pool included
About this hotel
The pitch here is simple: step out of La Perelle and the Grand Domaine slope is already under your skis, no shuttle, no walk in ski boots across the car park. Rooms look out over the mountains, and each one comes with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom stocked with bathrobes and free toiletries for the après-ski wind-down. That wind-down usually starts in the indoor heated pool, then the sauna, before dinner at the hotel's own restaurant, which sticks to Savoie regional cooking rather than a generic buffet. The terrace catches what sun there is between runs. Being in the station centre means the lift queue, the bakery and the ski hire desk are all a short walk rather than a drive, which matters most on the mornings when everyone else is still finding their gloves.
- Ski-to-door access
- Indoor heated pool & sauna
- Mountain-view rooms
- Station-centre location
Our take
This suits skiers who want the shortest possible gap between bed and first lift, plus a proper pool to recover in afterwards. The station-centre position means no car is really needed once you've arrived. Families with younger skiers and couples chasing an easy ski-in ski-out week will get the most from it. Anyone chasing five-star polish or a quiet, remote lodge away from the resort bustle should look further up the valley instead.
- Ask for a mountain-view room when you book direct, the outlook over the Grand Domaine slope is worth the small upgrade.
- Use the sauna straight after your last run, it's a short walk from the pool and empties out before dinner service.
- Book the restaurant table early in high season, the regional menu fills up fast with guests who never leave the hotel for dinner.
Why we love it
- Skis touch snow right outside the door
- Indoor heated pool and sauna after skiing
- Mountain-view rooms over the Grand Domaine slope
- Restaurant sticking to real Savoie cooking
Why guests love itArriving late after the last lift closes still feels easy here: skis go straight into the room from Grand Domaine's final piste, and by the time the boots come off, the sauna is a short corridor away. Dinner in the hotel restaurant leans hard on Savoie classics rather than a hedged tourist menu, and the mountain-view room means the first thing worth seeing next morning is the slope itself, not a car park. It reads less like a hotel stay, more an extension of the ski day.
