Would get 5 stars if it were ski-in/ski-out!…read more These are excellent quality apartments with incredibly helpful (and good looking) reception staff! Clean, comfortable, spacious and with a sauna, steam room and swimming pool as well as underground parking. I'll definitely be seeking out more CGH apartments in future!

True to the region and everything one might expect when dining at a three-Michelin-starred French restaurant in France, this is the pinnacle of fine dining. This pinnacle is one you physically descend to reach if you're staying in Val Thorens. The 8-course tasting menu has more Easter eggs, so to speak, than an actual Easter basket. If this is one's first time encountering such a level of seriousness and perfectionism at a dinner table, you will find it overwhelming and exhausting. Even for me, a seasoned eater--a seasoned sitter--eclipsing four hours at La Bouitte was not a "marathon" for me. My best marathon finishing time is actually quite a bit faster. Aside from the endurance aspect (coupled with arranging reliable transportation to take you back to wherever you came from) it should be mentioned that the menu does extensively feature offal and classics like foie gras. This is not a place for picky American eaters, and not a place for the aspirational diner who wants to "collect" as many Michelin stars as possible.
