Residence Cheval Blanc, Val Thorens

What really sets Le Cheval Blanc apart is how easy everything feels from the moment you arrive. Mornings start gently, whether you’re brewing coffee in your apartment or collecting fresh pastries delivered daily by the residence. The heated ski lockers save time and cold fingers, and the on-site ski shop means you can sort equipment hire without trekking across the resort. After skiing the vast Three Valleys area - from the wide cruisers above Val Thorens to the scenic runs towards Méribel - you can return to the residence for an uncomplicated evening. Cook in your own kitchen, relax with a glass of wine on the sofa, or wander downstairs to enjoy hearty Savoyard dishes, pizzas and grills at the residence’s friendly restaurant. The informal bar adds an easy spot for a post-ski drink or a quiet wind-down before bed.

Guests staying in the ‘privilege’ apartments benefit from almost immediate access to the pistes, while ‘classic’ apartments offer a short, pleasant walk to the lifts - ideal for those who like a quiet base. Families particularly appreciate the location, with ski schools nearby and shops, cafés, and supermarkets within easy reach. And although the apartments favour simplicity over luxury, they provide everything needed for a comfortable, self-catered stay in Val Thorens. Warm interiors, practical layouts and an unfussy atmosphere make it easy to settle in and feel at home within a day or two.

All of this makes Residence Le Cheval Blanc an excellent choice for travellers seeking well-located, good-value accommodation in Val Thorens. It’s a place that prioritises convenience and comfort over frills, while still delivering an authentic alpine experience in the heart of the Three Valleys. If you want straightforward, slope-side living with the freedom to ski, relax and explore at your own pace, Le Cheval Blanc fits the bill perfectly.
