Parking note. Problematic — Valet parking reported damaged guest vehicle with hotel denying responsibility despite cameras; access road described as steep and requiring chains in winter.

What guests report

View

Exceptional panoramic mountain and piste views from most rooms, terraces, and spa; some rooms described as 'nearly zero view' — avoid lower-floor or north-facing units

Bed & mattress

Problematic — multiple reports of uncomfortable mattresses with lumpy joint covers and overall firmness complaints; consistency issues across rooms

Bathroom & water

Dangerous water temperature fluctuation; low shower water pressure in some rooms; variable heating control preventing cool sleeping

Wi-Fi

Poor with site-specific blockages including Netflix blocked; described as 'terrible WIFI' by guests

Breakfast

Excellent — abundant organic options, made-to-order preparation, artisanal pastries, attentive Jean-Michel service; worth the upgrade

AC / heating

Problematic heating/cooling control with inability to reduce temperature below 21-22°C despite requests; heat rising from lower floors; inconsistent room temperatures

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Ski-in is only comfortable for intermediate/advanced skiers (steep red/black run); beginners should request free shuttle service to easier slopes

Request room away from chimneys if you keep windows open — smoke can enter from specific wind directions

Book Les Explorateurs (Michelin restaurant) in advance; Base Camp offers excellent daily dining without reservation stress
