CHALET HOTEL ALPEN VALLEY * * * *
Un chalé hotel con encanto al pie de las pistas. En invierno, se llega directamente a esquiis a los pies, a mediodía, para un almuerzo en la gran terraza del Bistrot. Las vistas al Mont Blanc y al valle son espléndidas. Las habitaciones totalmente renovadas con un espíritu montañoso (madera y tejidos de materias naturales) tienen un confort contemporáneo (cuarto de baño). Las vistas se han privilegiado, con grandes ventanales (algunas habitaciones tienen balcón) abiertas al Mont Blanc o a los Aravis. En invierno, el restaurante permite cenar tranquilamente, por la noche, de platos a la carta o de media pensión cuyo menú varía cada noche. En verano, los restaurantes de los alrededores toman el relevo. Se encuentra a minutos a pie del centro y un autobús hace la trayecto cada cuarto de hora (se información). Una perspectiva agradable de paseo digestivo en un entorno magnífico. Un hotel bien situado, cálido y cómodo, con una buena relación calidad-precio, con unas vistas impresionantes.
Food was mediocre. maybe for Swiss people coming from a country with not many options due to a protectionist system, the food and offering was good but for EU citizens, it clearly lacked.we did have a good time since we didn’t want to complain or spoil our vacation, but overall it lacked that extra quality to make it a true 4 stars. Also the hotel doesn’t really have a lounge, it seems it had a panoramic view room, but that’s now changed to a dinner room since my wife got kicked out on the afternoon ( staff was setting up tables for dinner) from that room when she was sitting and quietly reading her book. Again, we did our best to have a good time and we did have a good time, these are just some observations. On the room, TV broke down a few times, and also the towel heater stopped working but these things are just bad luck and happens other places. Great view of Mont Blanc!!!
