Le Chalet Blanc Hôtel & Spa

It was a real pleasure staying at Hotel Chalet Blanc. From the warm welcome at check in to the outstanding job by Vince the bar tender for after dinner drinks. Facility was extremely clean and has great atmosphere. Rooms very comfortable with great views. Ski in/out was best I have ever had. Just literally 10 steps from the lockers to lift. We purchased the food plan for Breakfast and Dinner and it was totally worth it. The meals were outstanding and Francois was very very good with the wine selection and telling us about the wine. The spa was very good as well, the steam room and hot tub we enjoyed. Had a 2 hour massage, so relaxing!

Great family skiing holiday at this fantastic, stylish hotel. Perfectly located at the end of the main street, 2 minute walk to the Pharo slope. The most amazing thing about this hotel is the friendly staff- all very helpful, speaking great English for those whose French is very rusty. Lovely decor in the main bar area with pool table and table football, whole hotel very warm with a cosy real fire in the lounge. Heated boot and ski storage lockers. Kettle and mini fridge in the room, with loads of wardrobe space and lovely warm bath and shower. Quiet at night and comfy beds. Only thing which didn’t suit us as a family with teenagers was the food- the menu of the day has very limited choice and virtually no vegetables. I’m sure those without picky eaters will find the food great though. Breakfast was perfect. We loved it here and can’t wait to return!

Just completed a fabulous stay with our two children. It is a terrific value - a fraction of the price of hotels at fancier French resorts but equally nice, if not more so! The hotel is located in the Hameau de l'Obelisque enclave of Montgenevre where there are a few small upscale hotels that are a bit nicer than those in other parts of the town, although everything is close together and you can walk from one of end the village to the other in 10 minutes. The hotel is a true ski-in/ski-out, although we choose to walk 5 minutes to the other side of the pistes and skied back at the end of the day. The staff at the hotel (front desk, restaurant, housekeeping) were all extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms were nicely decorated, modern but still chalet-style, and everything looked brand new (the hotel is three years old). Breakfast was a real highlight - diverse offerings and high quality. We also enjoyed the pool table and the giant foosball/mini foot table that could accommodate 6-8 players - lots of fun with our kids. The only downside was the spa - they offer a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, all of which were fine, but were in an enclosed space rather than outdoors or with any windows, which was a bit disappointing. That said, they said they've got the permits for and will start working on an outdoor pool area next year. (Note to the hotel: The spa area is extremely slippery - we saw several people slip and did ourselves as well). Other thoughts for people considering this hotel and Montgenevre in general: The ski resort itself is huge, even if you don't go all the way to Sestriere (which was about 1 hour by several lifts). The resort is also high and the snow at the top was very good even if snow at the bottom was pretty bad this week - it didn't spoil our skiing at all because there's so much terrain up high. In France, we've skied at Val d'Isere, Courchevel, Megeve and some smaller resorts, but Montgenevre is by far the best value - excellent skiing and accommodations without the ridiculous price tag. That said, if you're looking for apres-ski, gourmet restaurants and designer shops, you won't find them here.
