Staying in a hotel at the foot of the slopes in Val Thorens means enjoying the mountains without any hassle. From hitting the slopes straight from the door to unwinding in the evening, every moment flows naturally. At Le Pashmina, the comfort and the team’s attentive service give each day its own unique rhythm.
In the morning: skis at the ready, slopes open
A day in a Val Thorens hotel at the foot of the slopes isn’t built around a fixed schedule. It follows a rhythm, and that rhythm sets in from the morning.
The buffet breakfast is included in your stay. Meanwhile, the team at the Goitschel ski shop gets your skis ready. Often, they’re ready to hit the snow as soon as you step out of the hotel. The concierge and shuttle service handle the rest of the logistics for those who need it. You head out onto the slopes without having to organise anything yourself.
Val Thorens provides access to the 3 Vallées, 600 kilometres of slopes linking Courchevel and Méribel. One day isn’t enough to cover it all.
Après-ski and the evening: there’s something for every hour
You return on your skis. Your equipment goes back to the ski room and its heated lockers. In this Val Thorens hotel at the foot of the slopes, the Aqua Pashmina area, included in your stay, takes over: a swimming pool with mountain views, whirlpools, a sauna made of old wood, and a hammam. For those who prefer to keep active, the fitness room overlooking the mountains is there.
In the evening, the choice is yours. Les Explorateurs for Michelin-starred cuisine, the Base Camp for more authentic Alpine flavours, or the Lounge Bar for a drink by the fireplace with live music.
On Wednesday evenings, Cédric Gorini, the owner, invites his guests to join him for a ski tour. An hour’s climb, a break, then the return under the stars. Not a hotel service: a moment shared in all sincerity, by someone who has known every slope of this mountain since childhood. This is the soul of the Pashmina, summed up in a single outing.
