Hotel Christiania, sleeps 56, Serre Chevalier
A lovely, homely hotel with spa facilities within easy walking distance of the lifts
Overview
The Christiania hits all the right notes for a traditional French ski stay. It’s in La Salle Les Alpes, a few minutes’ from the gondola and slopes in Villeneuve, and has a homey, welcoming feel that’ll make you want to come back time and time again.
There are quirky touches all over here, from the tables in the bar shaped like giant blacksmith bellows to the vintage snowshoes and mountain climbing tools on the walls in the restaurant. As for the rooms, ski-themed artwork, faux fur throws and wood panelling give each one it’s own look and feel.
Fancy a little downtime after skiing? Take a seat on the veranda and listen to the trickling stream below as you sip an après drink, or pay a little extra to pop to the spa area for a session in the sauna and steam room.
