 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi - my wife and I are planning a trip sometime in March for Val Thorens.
Found a deal for Mecure Hotel. The location looks quite good but has anyone stayed there before and have any comments on it? How about other hotels? Ideally, we would like to ski to door.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome to 
The Mecure (old Novatel) is a great hotel right on the piste.
If you hire gear, there is a shop down stairs (ski technic) which is the only shop in VT with direct access to the piste.
The ski lockers are on the piste (via the terrace) so it is a ski in ski out hotel.
Good choice of hotel.

A great location, right next to the piste.
Not sure if they stiil do it, but they used to do an excellent luncthime buffet on the sun terrace.

Hey thanks Guys. Have anyone actually stayed there before? Since we'll be taking a half board arrangement, I was just wondering how the food is...
Deciding between this hotel and hotel val thorens... the latter being about £150 per person more.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hotel Val Thorens is lovely and very central (and I used to work there!). Can't comment further on the Mercure (though I also sometimes now work at the Mercure in Bath, UK!)

BMF_Skier, I think it is still privately owned by a chap called M Perkov (of Eastern European origin). It's probably the equivalent of a 4 star hotel over here. I used to play piano there in the evenings!
It has a great location, right on the piste in the centre of the resort, nice internal architecture (a main central atrium / reception / lounge area with lots of wooden beams etc), good restaurant and food, and pleaseant rooms.
Enjoy your stay!
