Hotel Altapura – Val Thorens, France

Hotel Altapura – Val Thorens, France

In the highest resort in the Alps, Val Thorens, sits the glamorous and ultra modern Altapura. This is not your traditional alpine retreat, but cool Scandinavian chic. It surely has one of the best positions in Val Thorens, facing south over the entire Three Valleys, with skiing right to the front door. The faultless service and relaxed ambiance stand out, as does the choice of dining.


A mountain style brasserie, Les Enfants Terribles, 2.Mille.3 restaurant where your food is theatrically cooked in front of you and La Laiterie – one for those partial to a fondue, will ensure you never go hungry. The rooms and suites are all light pine and coloured furnishing, with high-tech gadgets and big windows, with many adjoining options for families.

All the rooms and suites are fabulously equipped with free Wifi, and iPod docking station, TV Mac Mini with HD screen, video on demand, safe, minibar, and a Nespresso machine.

 

food

You will not go hungry when you stay at the Altapura with its three very different restaurants. 2Mille3 out on the terrace on a sunny day, is a fabulous place for lunch, with its traditionally Savoyard menu, and to watch the world go by. Head inside in the evening for dinner and dine on a dizzying choice of international dishes. French classics and succulent steaks are the mainstay of Les Enfants Terribles, making this a very good dinner option, where you’ll also find a separate seafood and oyster bar.


And for those partial to proper mountain food, then book a table at La Laiterie where fondue and raclette are taken very seriously, made with cheese by the Altupura’s very own cheesemaker.

 

activities
