Christiania Hôtel

A beautiful hotel well run. We had a lovely week in this hotel whilst on a ski holiday. The hotel is very pretty from outside and very well maintained on the inside. All of the staff we met were extremely friendly and helpful. The service in the restaurant was spot on, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was a cosy but big enough for us. It was beautifully furnished, as was the whole hotel. Our food during our stay was excellent, five courses most evenings, all beautifully prepared and delicious. Breakfast was buffet style with a large choice of hot and cold options. The position of the hotel is great for skiing being a few steps from the main gondola and only a short walk to another. The lift pass office is directly opposite the hotel entrance. Lift queues were almost non existent. Only the Breve 2 chair lift ever had more than handful of skiers, most lifts were empty when you got to them. A decent sized ski area with plenty of green/blue/red runs and a few black runs. There is not much English spoken in the village, which we really liked. English is spoken in the hotel by most staff. Didn't use the spa/pool area so can't comment on that. We would thoroughly recommend the Hotel Christiania and really enjoyed Valloire itself. It is a very friendly old village, lots of smiles and the people are very patient when we attempted our basic French. Another big advantage over the more ell known ski resorts is that the prices are not high for food/drinks or general shopping. We are very grateful to the Hotel management and staff, and to the residents of Valloire for making our ski break so good and enjoyable. Thank you.
