Spent a week here and after the lukewarm comments on here I wanted to say we were delighted with the staff! We were half board, and the quality of the evening meals and extensive choice offered was a huge part of our holiday enjoyment. Slight gripe about the dismal coffee from the machines at breakfast - but otherwise fab. The... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Planibel Hotel the first week in March.The mountain has lot's to offer, it is quiet and has some good black runs down to resort.The pistes were very quiet and there was still powder around a few days after snowfall.

I stayed here for a week in March of 2013 with my son, i'm an experienced skier he has skied twice before. The Planibel is located in a great position no more than 100 yards from the 3 main lifts to the top of the Mountain. The Planibel apartments are made up of a main hotel and like a Butlins... More

We stayed in feb 2013 and had a great time Being able to walk out of your hotel and straight on a lift up the slopes is a real bonus. There weren't any queues and lovely places for lunch The hotel is big and checking in is very busy if you prepare yourself, that you don't get your room until... More

Weather was good throughout the week apart from one day but sunny and warm. The lowest was -18c at the top... More

We booked last min via igluski for Feb half term for a reasonable price and found the resort, the skiing, the lack of queues at the lifts and the uncrowded slopes fantastic. We had our 11 year old daughter with us who as skied a few times before so didn't go into ski school, there was plenty of blue runs... More

So how do you judge a hotel which is in a great position, which you have returned to 6 times but which too frequently disappoints? Why did we come back then you may be asking? Quite simply because of its position next to the lifts, a 2 hour transfer from Turin and the fact that the hotel has basic but... More
