Among the few hotels located in the heart of the Val Thorens ski resort, the’Altapura It presents itself as a must-visit destination. As the resort's only 5-star establishment, it invites you to experience an extraordinary stay, whether for a romantic getaway or a family vacation, far from the urban hustle and bustle. The hotel welcomes you at the foot of the slopes, at an altitude of over 2,000 meters, offering you a breathtaking view of the Three Valleys ski area.

The typically Nordic ambiance of Altapura invites you to relax and unwind. The cocooning spirit of the lounge area, with its wooden furniture and imposing fireplace, leaves us particularly dreamy. It's hard to find a more soothing setting in the alpine resort! When it's time to go to sleep, you'll once again appreciate the Scandinavian influences present in your bedroom and bathroom.

The Altapura rooms offer all the comfort you'll need to enjoy your ski vacation. Extremely spacious and bright, they boast breathtaking views of the snow-capped Alps through their large bay windows. They also feature luxurious bathrooms with both a shower and a bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a day of skiing or snowshoeing. If you can't live without your high-tech gadgets during your stay, rest assured, the Altapura has everything you need: an iPod dock, HD television, high-speed internet access, and more.

Let's be honest, it will be difficult for you to leave the comfort and softness of your room, but you will still be able to indulge in the treatments and activities of the Pure Altitude spa. You will also appreciate the natural decor of the relaxation area, enhanced with real birch trunks. We especially love the incredible feeling of well-being experienced during the Nordic circuit, alternating dry and humid heat.

If you prefer thrills, the hotel's activities are sure to pique your interest: snowmobiling, ice driving, paintball, or paragliding for the most daring. The Altapura's special touch? an «Extreme Concierge» advises you and offers a fully personalized activity program.

In a nutshell

  • We like the room decorations.
  • The essential spa after skiing.
