8.4/10

The hotel has a beautiful setting and is worth going back for, although the room design prioritizes style over practicality. The service is welcoming and professional, with accommodating staff. The location is outstanding, ideal for skiing and sight-seeing, and the dining experience is a mix of good French cuisine with a 'less is more' approach.
