Fabulous four night stay for 5 people in a 2 bedroom luxury chalet apartment. It beautifully appointed and fully equipped with washing machine, fully equipped kitchen, microwave, dishwasher, iron, drying cabinet and small sauna plus pullout or put you up bed in the sitting area. Open plan so still plenty of space plus an enclosed winter balcony and far reaching views of the snowy forests. The hotel staff at checkin were super helpful and friendly. Our reservation gave us full access to the hotel facilities, including the main sauna, bar, restaurant and a daily hot & cold buffet breakfast which was well stocked, represented great value and something for everyone. Unlike some of the reviews we did not find it chaotic. However, it was not half term or Santa Season so there were very few children. The booking also included a cabin lift pass which ran until 11pm every day. Perfect for skiers and non skiers as it was quick and easy to get down to the village shops, bars and restaurants which are close to Zero Point lift station, ski hire shop and ski school. There’s a lovely walk behind the hotel through the trees to the cute Laavu cafe but it’s only open Thursday, Fri & Sat although the walk is still worth doing. There’s also a cool bar/cafe in the exhibition centre serving drinks, cakes and food. Great place to warm up after skiing, sledging or walking. The hotel sky bar was the perfect spot for a late night drink and a game of cards as it stayed open until midnight. I would have given the hotel 5 stars, however it did not have a pool or spa which I would expect in a 4* mountain hotel of this calibre. It only had a dry sauna. There were locker cages for ski gear but these were not big enough for 4 or 5 peoples equipment. There were no boot racks and numerous signs saying don’t take winter sports gear to your room. (This may be different in the main hotel) but the only option was to take the boots and put them in the drying cabinet. I also did not like the fact that you needed a key to access the chalet building, every corridor, lift, boot room and the connecting corridor with the hotel where breakfast was served. Very secure but it felt like a fortress!
