Le Fitz Roy
Val Thorens, France
PROPERTY FEATURES
The Premises
Le Fitz Roy is a slopeside super-chalet at Europe’s highest ski resort, Val Thorens in the French Alps. It’s a long-standing family favourite that’s been given a modern makeover with slate-grey interiors, a Turkish hammam and a heated pool carved out of the mountain. There’s plenty of old-school charm though, too, in the antique wooden skis mounted on the walls, the stone and oak architecture warmed by flickering fires, and the classical French cuisine in the restaurant. After a long day on the pistes, this is exactly where you want to come back to.
SMITH EXTRA
Compliments of the House

POOL
The subterranean pool is sculpted out of the mountainside, and large enough to warm-down with a few lengths after a day on the slopes.

The common areas are wheelchair friendly, and there are dedicated rooms with adapted bathrooms for wheelchair users, accessible by lift.
USEFUL INFORMATION
In case of cancellation, application fees will be applied in addition to the cancellation penalties, namely 30 € per room. Cancellation requests will be processed within 30 days.
Rooms
No disrespect to village views, but the slope-side rooms have a pinch of extra magic out of the window. Request a south-facing Junior Suite, ideally one with a fireplace-toting upstairs living room.
Food & Drink
Unforgettable Features
Le Fitz Roy restaurant is one of the oldest in town, and it sticks to some traditional principles – white tablecloths for one and, more significantly, a menu inspired by classics of French cuisine. The onion soup is the king of cockle-warmers, the white truffle risotto is divine, and you can plump for a whole kilogram of Aveyron and Segala veal chop, courtesy of chef José Bailly.
Liquid Bliss
Sofas and armchairs are clustered around the centrepiece fireplace; some nights you’ll get mellow live music, but cocktails are always on the agenda. The house specialty is espresso martini, but as far as the bartenders are concerned, your wish is their command.
Experience the Extraordinary
One look out of the window should be enough to make you spring out of bed and into your ski boots each morning – the slopes are right outside. Val Thorens is at the heart of the Three Valleys (the largest snow-sports area in the world), and within a couple of minutes you can be at ski lifts which will take you up, down and across the mountains. Later, soothe well-worked muscles in the spa or wind down in the swimming pool. Evenings are for board games around the fire, or resting up with a bottle of red in the library. Skiing, duh. Pick up any gear you need from the in-house ski shop, then slide out of the door. The main lifts are a couple of minutes away at Rond Point des Pistes, and the nursery slope is nearby too.
Transportation
Le Fitz Roy is perched just above the Rond Point des Pistes in Val Thorens, right at the top of the slopes.
Planes
Fly into either Geneva or Lyon airport – they’re both 200km away, and the drive through the mountains will take you around two and a half hours. The hotel can arrange transfers on request.
Trains
Moûtiers train station is 50 minutes by car (or just over an hour by bus) from the hotel. For a full-on no-fly holiday from the UK, take the Eurostar to Paris then board the high-speed TGV to Moûtiers (four and a half hours).
Automobiles
Once you’re here, you’ll spend most of your time on skis, but if you want a car for day trips, you can hire at the airport. Valet parking at the hotel costs €21 a day or €104 for the week.
Other
There’s a helipad at the foot of the slopes, if you want to fly straight into Val Thorens by chopper.
