This hotel is bound to leave magical memories for years to come. The hotel is located up the mountain in the Riffelalp area of the ski domain.

The Hotel Christiania, Val d’Isere:

This family friendly hotel is located just off the nursery slopes of Val d’Isère and right next door to the out-door ice rink.

The hotel provides high tea and a kid’s club for the children to attend whilst the parents eat their evening meal. For bad weather days, the hotel’s indoor, heated pool is a popular spot to amuse the young ones.
