The ski-in/ski-out isn't bad; you can put on your skis just after crossing the road. However, the road you need to cross was extremely icy and slippery. Many people were falling daily while attempting these few steps. Despite my request, nothing was done to address the issue, and it could have been easily resolved by applying some sand or salt. Fortunately, after a snowfall, the road became easier to cross.

On the positive side, the apartment was clean, and the kitchen is well-equipped, with a spacious living room. Unfortunately, the bedrooms are very small. It's challenging to open the balcony door without moving the bed, and there isn't enough space between the bed and the wall to hang jackets.

Moreover, the showers lack glass or curtains, requiring us to wipe the water each time. The ski room is also cramped and lacks benches or chairs for putting on boots.

Next time I'll try to find another place.

Good location but that's all.

Fantastic stay at La Residence Le Val Chaviere over Easter.  We were a group of 2 adults and 2 children and stayed in a 6-person apartment, so we had lots of room.  The location is perfect, midway up Castor and Pollux and you can ski straight onto the slope.  Our ski and boot store was right by the front door (Apt 1) so no getting changed in a crowded boot room.  The apartment has one separate toilet, a bathroom with a sink, spa bath and handheld shower attachment, and another bathroom with a sink and walk in shower.   A double bedroom with wardrobe, a twin with wardrobe (twin beds can push together to make a more spacious double) and a small twin without storage (we used one of the beds to store clothes on).  The kitchen has a large fridge with a small freezer compartment, a dishwasher, filter coffee machine, toaster, microwave, electric hob and oven.  Lots of crockery and cutlery and glasses.  Towels and bed linen are provided - take a T towel for the last minute dishes tho.  Washing up liquid, cloth and scourer and a few dishwasher tablets are provided.  There is a wood burner but we didn't use it as the radiators kept us warm enough.  The supermarket is conveniently located just over the road and there is easy access to all the bars and restaurants.  A spotless and recently refurbished apartment, we will definitely book again.

Great refurbished apartment for direct access to the slopes

Our family have just come back from a weeks ski break here booked through Sunweb.  The reviews made us a little nervous but we can safely say the Residence is value for money and a great location.  We had no troubles that others reviews have mentioned. nb This is the self catering residence above the hotel of the same name

We stayed in a 2 bed + cabin apartment, it could sleep 8, but it would be tight, with 4 of us we were swimming in space. it is true that the rooms are a little tired but you have to look at the value for money.  Our bed was extremely comfortable and our two older kids had no complaints about theirs.

We were lucky and had our own ski cabinet directly outside our front door, so getting ready in the mornings was not the normal hassle of 40 people in a small ski room all trying to get to their skis and boards.  Unlike other residences you could keep your boots in the room and put them on in peace and quiet. nb Not all the rooms have their ski cabinets outside their rooms, but again as you keep your boots in the room you just need to go and pick up your skis.

Getting to the slope was a few steps out to the piste, and if there is plenty of snow you could ski back to the residence's steps. This was even possible in April as the snow declined.

One down side was the kitchen, it was very small and only equipped with a combi microwave and 4 ring hob, so fine for cooking pasta and pizzas, but we could see cooking for eight could be a challenge in organisation.  But you are just a few steps from town with plenty of restaurants. (La Maison has great burgers and the home made Blinis with salmon were to die for).

They also have a strange checkout regime where they ask you to fold up all the towels and bed linens and leave on the table, which they will check before you check out.  As our checkout was 2am in the morning there was no check and we just left the keys in a lock box.

As we had no problems, there was little need to deal with the Staff but when we did, they were both welcoming and helpful.

We would stay here again

Just back from Easter 2022

Don’t stay here , we had an awful experience with the manager named sedrick , we were told check out was at 10 however ,sedrick let himself into our room at 5:30 am while we were sleeping and starting screaming at us to start cleaning and to leave , as a group of girls this was very frightening for a man to enter your room and start screaming. After he left we were so frightened we put a chair in front of the door as he would have had a key to get in . About an hour later he decided to slam open the door through the chair and our suitcases very aggressively , he then slammed open one of the bedroom door which hit off one of the girls into a wall. this was completely out of order and frightening that a member of staff could treat a vulnerable group of girls like this. If one of our NUCO travel agents didn’t turn up on time we would have called the police . As he was leaving he started swearing aggressive words , highly unprofessional. If we do not receive any form of compensation we will be pressing charge, as we have video proof.

I NEVER WANT ANYONE TO STAY HERE PLEASE LISTEN FOR YOUR SAFTEY

We had a traumatic experience with the staff in this apartment. We were told check out was at 10 a.m. but we were woken at 5:30 a.m. by a male member of staff absolutely screaming and banging on doors telling us to leave ! As a group of girls this terrified us as we weren’t sure if this was a member of staff or a random person that had broken in to our apartment so we put a chair up against the door to stop the individual re-entering. About 30 minutes later the man had pushed through the chair and threw it across the apartment as-well as our suitcases ! He also swung a door open which had caused one of our friends to be pushed against the wall. We have video evidence of this ! If our travel agent representative had not arrived at this time we would have called the police ! Our deposit was also taken from us as we had to leave the apartment in a hurry and did not have time to clean the rest of the apartment. Disgraceful. 

Do not stay here !!

Apartment itself was nice enough, however the staff were never around and when they were it was only to be rude. The WiFi was dreadful, only working for about 10 minutes each day and even then at the slowest speeds I've ever experienced. To top it all off, after cleaning the apartment thoroughly prior to departure we were charged €90 for a single 'lost or damaged towel'. For context, even if we had damaged one, these towels were old thin white sheets that could not have cost more than 4 or 5 euros to buy. Exploitation at its very finest. Would not stay here again, very disappointed.

Don't stay here!

Plenty of room in this apartment. We stayed with 9 people in the 9-11 apartment. Perfect location in the village of Val Thorens and in the ski area. Ski-in and ski-out. Balcony on the south with great view. Friendly reception and support.

Spacious apartment on excellent location

Positives:

Nice large apartment for 8 of us. 3 separate shower rooms, 2 separate toilets. Hand basin in one bedroom.
Well equipped with all kitchen utensils & plenty of Crockery. Nice large dining table with 12 chairs.
Real log fire with logs supplied.
Great location to ski in / ski out, just at the side of a learners green slope with the Pionniers chair lift at the bottom  

Negatives:

Not very well sound-proofed. Lots of noise from above, below and either side and outside. Especially as people are allowed to wear their ski boots in their apartments.
Booked Lift passes and ski equipment through the hotel which was cheaper, but had to walk to the Sister Hotel to collect our ski passes (can’t see why they couldn’t have been at the reception in our building). Also ski shop the equipment was hired from  was by the Sister hotel and again was a long way to carry ski equipment.

Compared to other properties in Val Thorens I think we got what we paid for. It was a fairly basic accommodation, but served it's purpose and was great for ski in ski out

Great Location

I couldn't recommend this accommodation to anyone who is after having a few drinks at their apartment and listening to a bit of music after a days sking, or anyone who appreciates some good customer service. We were told we couldn't play music after 8 after the staff member informed us of two complaints, one of which he eventually admitted was his own complaint. Rather comical really!! The punishment was a 300 Euro fine taken from our deposit if he complained again (yes the host that is). We of course knew that we would be required to clean up after ourselves, which we did very well. But i wasn't expecting the grumpy and rude host to come in and count all of the towels and sheets to ensure they were all there and threaten us with a 90 Euro fine for any damaged or missing, as one was left hanging in a bathroom and not on the pile, neatly folded (bearing in mind that the towels would be of more use cleaning the dishes). The wifi never worked and I was not willing to ask for a duvet cover that was missing as I was sure they would accuse us of taking it and charging rather than helping with the situation. Having worked as a hotel manager, I have a good understanding of good customer service and I personally believe that this is a terribly ran business.

Terrible Service

Appartments Val Chaviere Val Thorens:
Very nice place to stay! Great staff! Mickael and Manon thank you very much!!
We stayed in the appartment with 5 sleepingrooms with a group of 10 people. It was the second time we stayed in the appartments Val Chaviere in Val Thorens. The appartment could use some renewal for the wooden stairs and for the floor. And it would be very nice if there were placed little bins and little bedside tables in the sleepingrooms! Also better clear light in the bathrooms would be nice. During a storm day with a lot of snow we had a leak with water on the floor from the pipe of the fireplace so that has to be repaired. But otherwise the appartment was good and spacious. The location is very good, very near the ski piste and shops. We had a very friendly!! welcome by Mickael and Manon, and when we had a question or remark they did everything to solve it. The service from those two members of the staff was excellent!!! We wish everybody would be that kind and be such good hosts!! They are really a good couple and a reason to come back again!!!
