Hôtel Les Carrettes
About
Hôtel Les Carrettes is a charming alpine retreat perched at 1,800 m in the heart of Valmeinier, Savoie. Nestled on the slopes of the Galibier‑Thabor ski area, the hotel offers instant ski‑in/ski‑out access, making it a favourite base for winter sports enthusiasts. Outside the pistes, guests can enjoy a full‑service spa with a 400 m² wellness centre featuring sauna, hammam and relaxation zones, as well as a sunny terrace overlooking the alpine valley. The property boasts 40 rooms ranging from cosy double rooms to spacious suites that accommodate families up to six people. Each room comes with a private balcony or a view of the mountains and is equipped with modern amenities, including free Wi‑Fi and a TV. The on‑site restaurant serves a buffet breakfast every morning and a traditional Savoyard lunch and dinner during the winter season, while a bar offers an extensive selection of wines, cocktails and local craft beers. Guests reward the hotel for its warm hospitality, attentive staff, and impressive family‑friendly facilities such as a kids’ club, moonbike rentals and daily activities. During the busy periods of the holiday season and ski weekends, the hotel can become crowded, and the rates are generally higher than alternative lodges in the valley.
