TH La Thuile - Planibel Residence

We have stayed here many times - it’s our favourite ski resort. Planibel Residences (the apartments) have been refurbished in the last few years (Monte Rosa) and they are absolutely lovely! Very well equipped, nicely furnished, warm and cosy, comfortable bed (needed after a day on the slopes), and fabulous bathrooms that have plenty of hot water. The WiFi is very good and reliable. The location is perfect if skiing as it’s a few minutes walk until you’re at the bottom of the gondola or chair lifts. Everything you need is very close by (lift pass and ski rental) and the on site pub (La Cages aux Folles) is a very relaxed pub/restaurant that has delicious food a great atmosphere and lovely staff. We will come back…again!

The hotel and residences are part of a large open complex with everything you need, from a supermarket to bars and restaurants. Check-in was easy, and upon arrival we were directed to a covered parking area (a bit of a maze at first), from where we reached our building. Our car was safe throughout the weekend, even during a heavy snowstorm. The building was very convenient, and our apartment was comfortable, renovated, and spotlessly clean. We appreciated the nice toiletries and the thoughtful pasta welcome kit. The complex is just a stone’s throw from the main ski lifts, which truly made our mountain stay feel like a luxury. We would definitely come back. We also visited the spa, where the kids really enjoyed the pool. Access to both the pool and the saunas required an additional fee. Although it wasn’t clearly explained at check-in that these services were not included, we still felt the overall experience was fantastic and great value for money.

Great access to slopes

Brilliant little apartment just across from the main hotel. We were left a very useful little welcome pack. Everything you needed for a very nice stay.
