One of the best located and best value hotels you are likely to find

The Terra Nova Hotel is superbly located in Plagne Centre. Right at the foot of 225km of piste, you can jump straight on the chairlift in the morning and ski back to the door at the end of the day. All of the rooms face either the slope or the valley, so you’ll wake up to marvellous views each day. And the quad and interconnecting rooms are ideal for families.

All your meals are served in the hotel’s restaurant, which has fantastic panoramic views of the slopes. Take your pick from the buffet, and toast the ski day with unlimited free wine.

You’ll also have free access to the hotel-run kids’ club, supervised by qualified, English-speaking staff. There are lots of games, crafts and storytelling to keep them smiling all day long. And while they’re having fun, you can squeeze in a few extra runs on the mountain.

A great option for families and keen skiers alike. It particularly suits beginners as the nursery slope is outside the front door.
