Résidence Pierre & Vacances les Bergers

I felt I had to write this as I have just seen the previous two reviews and I stayed in January 2024 and my experience was very different. Firstly we booked an apartment that sleep 6 for 3 people, we always do this in France from previous experience. This meant we had lots of space, two twin beds as you come in, 2 sofa beds in living area where we made up one and used the other as a sofa. Plenty storage for us all. On arrival there was a kit provided with some dish washer tablets, some clothes, a little washing up liquid etc. tea towels also provided. Yes there was only one toilet roll but this is standard in any self catering accommodation in France, as is no cleaning/bed making during the week. On each floor there was rubbish disposal including recycling, I found this very handy as in other places we have had to take down to a central area on complex. Our apartment had modern (ikea type) furniture, which was basic but adequate. The kitchen lots of utensils, good pans for cooking etc. The pool was lovely, the sauna worked for the first half of the week only which was disappointing. The restaurant was nice and reasonable prices, they also do takeaway too with reduced pricing. It is very handy for the ski area, 5 mins walk on a morning and you can ski through the park to right opposite the reception (weather permitting) when you finish for the day. I would have no issues in staying again. It is a 15/20 minute walk into the main but for a night time if you plan to go out every night.

Pros: It wasn’t horrendous, the radiator was warm and the shower had good water pressure Cons: Beds were really small, the whole apartment was outdated ( really old furniture, stairs were marked and chipped), whole apartment smelt bad, had to make our own beds, the safe didn’t work, no cleaning products and only one roll of toilet paper was provided, kitchen/living room was too small to fit 6 people and felt claustrophobic, the locker was too small to fit everyone’s skiis in so we had to carry two sets up to the room everyday and all of our poles, the light in the locker room was on a short timer so kept leaving us in darkness and after a few days stopped working completely so we had to use flashlights, had to carry skiis up a spiral staircase and then a 5 minute walk before we were at the ski area, the sauna wasn’t working for the majority of our stay, no fresh towels/ sheets for the entire stay, no maid/cleaning services, the room was much more dated than the pictures showed, not much storage space in the kitchen for food, not much storage in the bedroom for clothes - we ended up living out of our suitcases, not enough space to dry all ski gear so we sometimes wore wet clothes the next day, radiator was so hot it melted the plastic on some of our ski gloves

booked to stay at the Pierre et Vacances Les Bergers for 7 night with a group of friends for our ski holiday. the hotel wasn’t as show in the photos, our room had 4 small single beds in 1 room and 2 downstairs. the kitchen was tiny and they only offered us the 1 locked for 5 people skis, boots and polls.(we had to carry them up to our room everyday as they didn’t fit in our locker which was included.) the locker room light didn’t work so had to use a phone light to put on our ski boots everyday. the hotel had an awfully bad smell to the place too. showed in the photos online we expected to have 2 bedrooms containing a double bed and 2 singles in a separate room. we book this hotel as we wanted a sauna and this was broken 6 out of 7 days of our stay. i wouldn’t recommend this hotel as it’s not at all like the photo show on there website. save your money and stay somewhere else.

Hotel is clean; well equipped and very near the lifts. The pool is a bonus tho it needs updating ; the saunas are great . The restaurant serves a range of good food - staff are in general helpful. Read some awful reviews of the other hotel with similar name on Trip Advisor. This one has lots of hot water and the rooms are spotless.
