Hôtel LE BLIZZARD

We stayed in the summer. From the moment you enter the hotel the service is what stands out. The staff are amazing friendly helpful and professional. We had a standard double room with a bath, lots of room, there was also a spa and a swimming pool which we didn’t use. Proximity to ski lifts was good no more than a 5 min walk to the 2 main lifts. Restaurant was superb, everything was great, wines were very good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was also good all in all no big negatives and many many positives. Only things we would improve were. A rain shower in the bath rooms the hand held shower is a bit heavy. Get a proper coffee machine with a Barista. The bath could be facing out not in. Really small things - all in all a magnificent hotel.

It’s a shame that they don’t know their clients…. Our friends have a room but the staff thinks we are strangers… We were invited by hotel guests so it’s not okay to treat us this way. We were just having drinks and our daughter was swimming in the pool with her friend who stays in the hotel.

We have just returned from a one week ski holiday stay at this hotel. Location: The hotel is well located and central to good shops and restaurants. Not ski-in / ski-out but the hotel transport will drop you off / pick you at either ski lifts. Simply call them and they are generally there within 5 mins (and always with a smile). The main 2 lifts we used were La Daille and Olympique. Quality of Food: very good! Breakfast has a great selection with quick service. You do have to pay though for supplementary things such as omelettes etc. Dinner: we ate in both restaurants of the hotel: La Luge (traditional Savoie / mountain dishes) and Le Blizzard (a bit more high end). We prefer local food when we travel so La Luge won the vote and we went twice… great raclette :). The only negative point with La Luge is the restaurant is small/low ceilings so it gets very very hot with all those raclettes / fondues. Go in a tee shirt even in winter! Staff: super helpful and always smiling. They helped resolve any issue we had. When wifi reception was poor, they simply installed our own wifi hotspot! 🙌 SPA: Amazing: Sauna / Jacuzzi (internal/external) / outdoor swimming pool / Steam room / gym… we loved all of it and used daily! I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel! The only downside is the 3 hour transit from Geneva airport. Other than that, amazing amazing amazing stay!

Ok, so we've been going to Le Blizzard for longer than I can remember. The reasons we keep going back - Very welcoming and helpful door staff and receptionists. Robin is awesome and always happy to stop for a chat and sort any issues. Gabriel and the guys at the door very happy to shuttle you around the village at anytime night or day. David and his team in bar, there is nowhere else like Le Blizzard bar after a day on the slopes before dinner, it's vibey, cosy and always busy - sometime residents struggle to get a seat ! Thank you to Marie who mainly looked after us this year. The rooms aren't the biggest, and there is a distinct lack of rooms that have separate showers, there's quite a few with showers over the baths - I think they were talking about changing some over last summer but don't think it happened. I get the negative comments about the service in restaurant, and the restaurant is very French ! what else would you expect ! ... I wish they still ran the half board menu in the restaurant which was far better for fussy English kids, who sometimes just want a relatively plain burger, pasta or lasagne rather than poulet cooked three ways or milk fed veal ribs ! Breakfast was good, and thank you to Lena the manager who was very happy to pop down to the local supermarket to make sure one of our fussy eaters didn't go hungry at breakfast, awesome work ! The spa's great but I do agree with a few of the comments, there should definitely be an age limit (15 ?) ... can get quite rowdy with kids in the indoor hot tub, maybe they should be allowed only in the outdoor pool. And something has to be done about the slippy floor ! ... it is absolutely lethal, and I've seen quite a few people fall over the years. We had a few massages this year which were all very good (but pricey !) ... there's definitely a few little bits that need tidying up, this is a 5* hotel after all. But overall, I love Le Blizzard, it's my "happy place" and I wouldn't stay anywhere else, see you next season !

We recently stayed at Le Blizzard for one week with our family and a group of friends (total of 11 people). I want to give a quick shout-out to Robin who is the hotel manager. He was super helpful and was able to accommodate every request. Robin and all the staff at the hotel take care of all your needs and create a very special atmosphere. The location of the hotel is great. It is situated right in the center of Val d’Isere with access to all the shops and restaurants. The hotel provides a shuttle to the slopes. You can walk 5 minutes or ride the shuttle for 3 minutes. They also will pick you up at the end of the day from anywhere you might end up. The spa is really nice. Make sure to book a massage right when you arrive because it’s very popular. The restaurant serves delicious food for breakfast and dinner. The breakfast has a very nice selection of fresh juices, fruit, pastries and all the other breakfast items that you might want to indulge in. The decor of the hotel makes it feel like a cozy lodge. Our kids loved our room (201) because it had a bunk bed in the wall. They loved playing there. We will definitely stay at Le Blizzard again!
