Terres De France - Appart Hotel Le Splendid

“Peaceful, grand buiding, great location”

To be honest it's perfect for a family ski holiday. Not only do you get to stay in this grand old place for the cost of a caravan in Wales, the lift pass office gives a discount for staying in the Splendid hotel.

To be honest it's perfect for a family ski holiday. Not only do you get to stay in this grand old place for the cost of a caravan in Wales, the lift pass office gives a discount for staying in the Splendid hotel. It's kind of spookily peaceful and the young receptionist has a calmness to match. You can have a walk round the hall at night alone and look at the ornate designs on the walls and look at the pictures of when the place was visited by the upper classes and celebrities. The appartments don't match the splendour of the hotel itself, they are a little bit budgety, but are also adequate, especially for what you pay. Always hot water, tv with all the digi channels, wifi, hob, mini oven and dishwasher, good provisions generally. The only thing that's not great are the beds and the fact that they didn't provide duvets, only blankets.... Sleeping would have been much more comfortable with a duvet. Next time I'll bring my own. The town has the old-fashioned charm and because it's not a well known ski area, is not frequented by many Brits or rowdy holidaymakers from anywhere, which is what you want with young kids. There's plenty there as you'd expect with a town of this size, but it's not too touristy. It's Funny how the people in the shops and take-aways think they can speak English. You have to drive up a mad road with hairpins for about 7 miles to the ski resort, or there's a bus but that would require hauling a lot of ski stuff to the bus stop on foot. It is better for people with their own ski-vehicle. All in all a great holiday and it's actually a very decent ski area with all the magnificence of the Alps, some great long runs, and ones where you can let your kids go up on their own and watch from the cafe below. Hidden gem I'd say.
