We stayed at le Cheval Blanc for 4 nights in late March 2015. It has a youth hostel feel to it with accommodation being basic but clean. We are 3 forty something blokes and were there for a short ski trip with wife’s and kids left at home, and this was definitely fit for purpose – not sure I would want to stay here for the half term family break though.
We were in a studio for 4, and there was enough space for us. The beds were comfortable and kitchen ok (no kettle, needed to use a saucepan).
It is right next to the slopes – one side of the hotel is ski in/out, the other side requires negotiating a few stairs and crossing the road in your ski gear, not as convenient as the other side but not too bad.
The hotel does cross the road and if, like us, your room was above the road it can be noisy with drunkards coming back all through the night from their apres ski. We found that ear plugs were essential for a good night’s sleep.
