La Cachette - Friendly Hotel

If you're looking for a lovely, modern hotel, recently refurbed with great staff and good food, then La Cachette is for you. Lovely chilled atmosphere, with plenty of places to camp out when not on the slopes. Rooms (especially the bathrooms) are pretty small as ski hotels often are, but the public areas in the hotel are very airy and spacious, and the jacuzzis on the terrace are fab at the end of a day on the slopes. The resort of 1600 itself it pretty tired/dated with not much else going on, but you're not going to Les Arcs for the architecture - the variety of red runs more than makes up for it.

Loved it - it's been refurbished to a high standard and has a very cool, civilised yet relaxed feel to it. The rooms are not huge, but are very comfortable and the bathroom was to a high standard. Could do with a little more storage as skiiers do not travel light (and perhaps a mirror other than in the bathroom). Buffet breakfast and dinner both of a very high quality - not your usual average chips etc. but a little more interesting, fresh and healthy (if you want it!). Breakfast was especially good with fresh crepes and omelettes made to order. One point to note is that drinks are not included with half-board dinner. The bar area is very nice and relaxed, a nice spot to drink and play cards. Heated boot room with easy access to a ski lift - not 100% ski in ski out but very close, only a really short walk up some steps which is perfectly doable with ski boots on. Would visit again, happily!

We arrived at Hotel La Cachette on the 27th for a 6 night stay with our dog and have had the best time ever!!!! The staff have been SO accommodating and friendly from start to finish and clearly work incredibly hard to make guests happy. We drove 10 hours through the night from the UK with the dog and arrived at 10am, however check in wasn’t until 5pm. Fortunately after buying our skii’s and passes, reception got us checked in at 1pm. The Cabane rooms are a perfect size with the dog and a beautiful view of the mountain. The only downfall is parking, it was incredibly busy when we arrived with no spaces for hotel guests, so we parked our car on a side where others were parked. Only to find that when we needed to grab something from the car that night, it was gone???! We panicked thinking it had been stolen, however Reception were really quick in helping us and advised the Police had moved it and even dropped us down to find it! (Just be aware of this when parking for your stay!) A big highlight for us has been the food….WOW!!? Without a doubt the best hotel buffet food we’ve ever had, so much choice every morning/evening and you certainly get your moneys worth!!! (The Oysters were a big bonus) The lounge area is perfect for after ski or dinner, just chilling there with a drink, playing a game with the fire on was so lovely. We anticipated it being fairly stressful with the dog, but it was anything but. The terrace was great for him to stretch his legs off lead and he chilled every night with us in the lounge. We took him up the slopes for a walk around 7am every morning/night, for a couple of hours before the chairlifts open at 9am and he would stay in the room and sleep all day! We CANNOT fault the hotel, incredible value for money and amazing service, thank you so much! Kay, Nick and Reggie xxx
