Run by the charming Garcin family, the Val Chavière is one of our most popular hotels in Val Thorens, offering a very warm welcome and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere in a superb ski-in/out location. The hotel is deservedly popular with our guests and is excellent value. In particular, the quality and quantity of the food served is often singled out for praise and the reason that many return to this hotel.
The hotel bar is an ideal spot to catch up with your friends and family, enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine then head to the games room where you can find a pool table, cards and various board games.
With a fantastic location in Val Thorens, the Val Chavière is a short walk to the vibrant resort centre where you can find a range of shops, bars and restaurants. Benefitting from having a ski in, ski out access and being next to the Pionniers chairlift, you can easily get onto the mountain each day - it is a great base for exploring the Three Valleys. Fantastic views can be enjoyed from the hotel, whether you are enjoying the winter sun on your balcony or having breakfast you can admire the snow capped mountains - to the south-west you can see the ''la pointe de la Masse'' and ''les aiguilles de Peclet to the south east.
You will be spoilt for choice during meal times, each morning a hearty breakfast buffet is available and when you return from a day on the slopes a five course meal awaits you. Evening meals have a set menu created using fresh and seasonal produce, and you can look forward to a weekly Savoyard evening with fondue, singing and music.
