Hôtel Alparena & Spa - 4 étoiles

As a party of twelve we were met by very competent reception staff who checked us in very speedily. Elizabeth, the manager of the hotel gave us a guided tour of the hotel which I have never had anywhere else, but it meant we became orientated very quickly. Our apartment for twelve was outstanding. The bedrooms were all of the same size and comfort. There was a large bath and shower and double sink in the bathroom. The beds were so comfortable and the linen and towels of a very high standard. The lounge/kitchen/dining room in the apartment was huge and so comfortable. As a group we have tended to go to catered chalets but this really was the best of both worlds and I am not sure I would rush back to a catered chalet again after this experience. The breakfasts in the dining room were fantastic. Such choice and so well cooked. I don’t know where to start with regards to dinner. We ate in the hotel on five occasions and I do not have a single complaint about any meal! The standard of the food was first class and so different. The waiter we had was superbly professional, remembering each night what twelve people preferred to drink! The spa area was exceptionally clean and the pool large enough to swim lengths. The steam rooms were lovely. On a practical level the boot room was large with a dedicated locker for each room, plenty of benches to sit on and a basket of energy snacks! It really is ski in / ski out. The hotel has a ski hire shop within the hotel which was a joy at the end of the week returning hired skis. All in all the standard of this hotel and its staff (and of course my wonderful friends) made for an unforgettable holiday.

Our third year at this fabulous hotel and we will be booking again for 2026! We are a large family and so we book the 12-14 people apartment and it is fabulous with the most perfect views of the slopes. The apartment kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms so comfortable, and fluffy whiter than white towels in the bathrooms. Just perfect. The boot room is great with easy ski in ski out access to the slopes. The bar area is a relaxing place to spend the evening with a fab play area for the children. The pool and spa is a wonderful place to chill whilst soothing tired, aching muscles In my opinion the food served on the sun terrace is the best in Les Euchert. And as a bonus, easy, hassle free equipment rental from the on site shop. See you in 2026 L’Aparena

Second visit to Alparena Spa …perfect in every way,from the wonderful reception by Elisabeth and her staff to the fabulous facilities. A truly ski in,ski out hotel….spotlessly clean with fabulous spa. Amazing rooms,views right across the valley and underground parking..with lifts straight up to the rooms. Lovely lunchtime terrace with live music …literally cannot find fault with anything. We plan to be back next season.

My friends and I went to the Solario two times. And the food was excellent. Also many thanks to Elizabeth and all her colleagues who was very professional and friendly. Little tips: take the salted butter crepes and add pecan on it it would blow your mind.

Wow wow and wow, before we had even made it to the slopes, me and the wife had already decided we were coming back in 2025. I am at a loss for how this is 4 and not a 5 star hotel. Having arrived at almost midnight on the Saturday night due to flight and transfer issues, the hotel staff were on the ball from the off. They provided us with a complimentary drink and evening meal which was needed due to being able to get nothing of substance since getting onto the plane at 3pm. We had upgraded to the superior twin room and the room is top quality from the amazing bathroom down to the electronic control of the room with the lights and heating and less we not forget the multitude of plugs you can use and the contactless charging points on the bedside cabinets. We had one slight issue with the spa bath but this was done within an hour of reporting it the following morning. There are spectacular views in the morning and the hotel is also a ski in and ski out location right near the bottom of the Les Eucherts lift. Every single member of hotel staff were amazing and would do anything even if it meant going out of their way to make you happy, I simply can’t fault any of them. We went out half board, and I can’t deny I am the fussiest person when it comes to food but thankfully Kian (a lad from Wales) who has been in France since he was 2 who was one of the waiters spoke fluent French and explained what all the meals were and when there was something that was not liked, they provided an alternate that was not on the menu. We also met a couple from Wales where one of their kids broke their leg with them ending up in a wheelchair, again the hotel staff were amazing with them helping out in any way they could. The whole gym and spa area is truly worth a visit alone but having that at the end of a day’s skiing is really nice to have on your doorstep. There is also a break out room for the kids and a room with lots of pods that you can chill out in and read a book for a bit of quiet time. The hotel has two restaurants, we visited both and the food is amazing in either one but one does not cater for evening meals. If needed there is also a ski shop on site. There is probably more that I have missed but that was what we had used, there are plenty of reviews mentioning Elizabeth but we never met here till the last day and she has already helped us with my food aversions for the next time we come out, the place is absolutely amazing, we will not go anywhere else and have found our home on the slopes for the foreseeable future.

After coming across Hotel Alparena by chance when booking our ski trip and being wowed by the photos, we couldn't wait. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding warm and friendly. We thought being given a tour of the hotel by the receptionist was a nice touch to get you orientated. Getting from the carpark to our room was so easy and close. The room was amazing, really warm, plenty of storage and full of gadgets. We did manage to get some of the TV channels to covert to English speaking as they were all originally in French. A neat touch was motion-sensors to the floor lights to the bathroom for during the night. The food was amazing well presented and a taste sensation, the chefs and waiting staff deserve a mention for their high attention to detail. The ski shop provided a hand wax service for our skis and we really noticed the difference compared to a machine wax. The ski-in-ski-out is perfect being right by the lifts, a nice touch was the cereal bars for a tasty snack on the lifts. What would be a great addition to the ski locker area is a bench in the outside covered area to put your boots on, as you can overheat putting your gear on in the locker room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again in a heart beat. All the staff are polite & friendly and a credit to the Hotel and they can't do enough to make your stay the best ever.
