Les Balcons Platinium, Val Thorens
Suppose you're dreaming of a ski holiday with slope-side access, space to stretch out, and a touch of luxury. In that case, Les Balcons Platinium Val Thorens might be your perfect match. Tucked into the quieter Balcons area of the resort, this high-end residence offers expansive views, exceptional comfort, and direct access to some of the best skiing in the Alps.
Sitting at 2,300m, you're well and truly in snow-sure territory. This part of Val Thorens has one of the longest seasons in Europe, and Les Balcons Platinium makes the most of it. You can ski straight out onto the Three Valleys' 600km pistes - and, in most conditions, cruise right back to your door at the end of the day. No buses, no faff, just you and the mountain.
The apartments here are big, bright, and built for people who love returning to somewhere that feels like a proper home. Whether you're a couple or a group of twelve, there's a layout that works. Inside, it's all warm wood, soft lighting, and mountain style - not overdone, just cosy and inviting. Kitchens are equipped with everything you need (oven, hob, dishwasher, and a Nespresso machine included), and each one features a balcony where you can take in the views or enjoy a post-ski drink in peace.
You'll also get free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, heaps of storage, and your ski locker with boot dryers - so no more wrestling with damp gear in the morning. Linen and towels are included, as is end-of-stay cleaning (excluding the kitchen), and you can add little extras like mid-week cleaning or towel swaps if you want to take things up a notch. Got a dog that skis better than you? They're welcome too (give the team a heads-up in advance).
One of the standout features here is the spa setup. As a Platinum guest, you can access a private wellness space featuring a sauna, steam room, hot tub, and gym. And if you fancy more, there's a full spa just next door - complete with a big indoor pool, outdoor hot tubs, a kid-friendly pool, and a whole treatment menu to work through.
On the food front, you're sorted whether you want to eat in or head out. There's a Sherpa supermarket and bakery downstairs, ideal for fresh croissants and self-catering staples. There's also a lovely little bar with a panoramic terrace - the kind of place you can sink into a chair and watch the snow fall. And if you don't feel like cooking, Val Thorens has no shortage of restaurants within a short walk or ski from your apartment.
The vibe here suits couples, families, and groups who want more space and less stress. It's tucked away just enough to be peaceful, but still close to the lifts, the town, and all the après you could ask for - whether that's live music and dancing, or a good glass of wine and a raclette.
In short, Les Balcons Platinium nails the mix: slope access, stylish apartments, spa time, and serious views. It's the kind of place that makes everything easy - so you can focus on skiing, relaxing, and just enjoying the mountains.
