Résidence Les Ancolies
Résidence Secrets Les Ancolies is a beautiful, small-scale complex just a short walk away from the bustling centre of Val Thorens. Boasting a fantastic ski-in, ski-out location, you can ski straight back to the complex via the Castor & Pollux blue slope or the Combe de Thorens green slope. This prime location offers both convenience and stunning views over the mountains.
Résidence Les Ancolies features spacious and stylish apartments. The decor is traditional and warm, thanks to use of wood and other natural materials. Comfort is paramount at Résidence Les Ancolies, as you can tell from the excellent mattresses, crisp white sheets, and thick duvets. If you want to relax your muscles after skiing, take a trip to the spa and spend some time in the sauna or hammam. You’ll be feeling fresh and ready for the slopes the next day!
A highlight of this complex is its in-house restaurant, Rendez-vous, and its atmospheric piano bar. When you return from the slopes, you can enjoy a superb dinner and a fine glass of French wine. Professional chefs will prepare both traditional Savoyard dishes and Italian specialities for you to choose from.

There are 150km of slopes to explore there, and if you book a ski package through Sunweb, your ski pass for all of Val Thorens will be included. But that’s not all! Val Thorens is also part of the Les Trois Vallées ski area, which is one of the largest interlinked ski areas in the world, with 610 kilometres of slopes. You can choose to expand the ski pass included with your holiday to the whole Les Trois Vallées area. Both beginner and experienced skiers will be in heaven with so many options to choose from, such as the neighbouring resorts of Les Menuires, Méribel, and Courchevel. If you book this expanded ski pass before you leave, you’ll pay significantly less through Sunweb than it would cost on location. Will we see you there?
