Chalet Le Sommet - Val Thorens, France
Chalet Le Sommet is situated in a panoramic location high up at the top of the resort with sensational views over the village, valley and mountains. Le Sommet is an individual chalet that adjoins the ‘Des Neiges Residence’. It is close to the resort centre and offers good ski access as well as comfortable bedrooms, each with en suite facilities and a balcony, and there are two rooms with additional bunks, ideal for families.
A 5 minutes’ downhill walk (500m) from the chalet leads to a bridge where skiers can join the blue Plein Sud piste, ski through the resort and link with ease into the rest of the ski area.
The free and regular resort shuttle bus stops only 400m away with buses every 20 minutes for the additional convenience of guests.
A particularly attractive feature is the impressive lounge/dining room with its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and picture windows affording stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
In addition all guests have free use of the sauna and swimming pool in the adjoining ‘Des Neiges Residence’, which is open from 1600-2000 every day except Saturday.
For Val Thorens’ lively night life a short stroll will bring you to all the action and fun. Approximate Transfer time to resort: Chambery 2 hours – Geneva 2 hours 45 minutes

On your Host’s days off each week, they will leave a simpler continental breakfast out for you to help yourselves, there is no afternoon tea on these days, and you can dine out locally in the evening. Your Resort Representative will gladly help out with information and make a reservation for you if you wish.

Parents must accompany their children at high tea. Unless children are part of an ‘exclusive use’ whole-chalet booking in chalets, it is not possible for children aged 11 years and under to eat at the adult sitting.

Chalet Le Sommet Reviews
We picked Chalet Le Sommet because of its brilliant location and facilities for groups. The chalet is good value and suited our group of late 20s/early 30 year olds perfectly. With endless skiing in the Three Valleys and bars and restaurants dotted across the resort, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Val Thorens. If you are travelling in a group, I’d recommend booking early where you can pop your deposit down and pay off over the summer – it’s the only way to organise my friends!

Hung over chef in the kitchen this morning moaning like an injured mountain goat, we’ve had to go into the kitchen and ask for milk for coffee. Hot breakfast is a late start because Matt, the chef, couldn’t be bothered. Customer service is the last thing on the staffs mind. We constantly have to ask for mugs, cutlery, crockery. Staff we seen in clear view from the dining room finishing off the guests wine in the kitchen.
