Hotel Les Carrettes
Hotel Les Carrettes
Perched right on the slopes of Valmeinier, just 50 metres from the lift and a short stroll from the town centre, Hotel Les Carrettes is the kind of place that makes winter holidays unforgettable. Ski straight to the door, kick off your boots, and soak up the friendly, family-run atmosphere.
Inside, the rooms are bright, comfy and perfect for recharging – with plenty of space for families too. And the cherry on top? A brand-new, adults-only 400 m² spa designed for pure relaxation. Picture this: hammam and sauna sessions, a swim with mountain views, a sensory shower, Himalayan salt wall, cold plunge pool and even an ice fountain to boost your circulation. It’s your après-ski haven.
Mornings begin with a generous breakfast buffet to fuel your day on the slopes, and evenings wrap up with a well-earned dinner and a drink in the cosy lobby.

The 150 km (93 ml) of pistes are suitable for both beginners and advanced skiers and snowboarders. Since this is a relatively new resort, it is also equipped with a modern ski lift system. The resort of Valmeinier is connected to the resort of Valloire by cable car. From Valmeinier 1800 you can make great tours via Valmeinier 1500 to Les Verneys and Valloire and, of course, in the other direction too.
