Ours Blanc Hotel & Spa

Just returned from a wonderful week at Ours Blanc and have booked again for next year. The hotel has a lovely vibe, friendly staff, lovely rooms and wonderful spa. We enjoyed our half board package with a good variety on offer every breakfast and evening. Nothing better than returning from the slopes to the well kept boot room, a dip in the pool and a sauna before chilling in the bar and dinner. Can't wait to come back!

We have just come back from our first stay at L'Ours Blanc and we must say that it was fantastic!! The car park was easily accessible with ample parking spaces available (I would recommend having snow chains for the days that it is icy or slushy as the drive is a little steep). We arrived at the check in desk to be warmly greeted by the manager and told that we were given a complimentary room upgrade which was very much appreciated after our long drive. Our room was spacious with a nice sized balcony with a beautiful view over the mountains looking towards Cime de Caron. The housekeeping staff were very attentive and left our room spotless with fresh sheets every day. The buffet food was delicious with a different menu each evening. We were slightly concerned with reading previous reviews about the food but I can confidently say that the food was superb with a great variety. There was also a great selection of food for breakfast too. My only little comment on the breakfast is that if you sit in the conservatory area I found that my food went cold quickly but that isn't surprising given that it is surrounded by glass so I would recommend that you sit in the main restaurant, this wasn't an issue in the evening as the curtains get drawn which keeps the heat in. The facilities on site were great with a beautiful spa, bar area, library and snug area above the library. The ski lockers were great with ample space for our ski stuff with the added bonus of having ski boot warmers in the locker which we weren't expecting! Due to the weather and poor visibility there were a couple of days where we chose not to ski but we took full advantage of the free shuttle bus that runs every 20 minutes into Les Menuires town, from there we got another free bus into Val Thorens. A couple of times we decided to stroll down down to Les Menuires which is well worth the walk (around 20/25 minutes walk). Overall, we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at L'Ours Blanc, the staff have made our stay here very pleasurable and their hospitality has been second to none. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and they take a genuine interest in how our day has been and very chatty. It was lovely that a lot of staff remembered our conversations from days prior. We would recommend L'Ours Blanc to everybody and we shall certainly be returning in the future.
