Chalet Hotel du Fornet

Very pleasant boutique hotel with beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished rooms and a delicious breakfast buffet. The family that runs the hotel - led by Marie and Stéphane - is extremely friendly and takes a genuine interest in the well-being of each guest. They also provide tailor-made tips for successful daytime activities in the splendid surroundings of Le Fornet/Val d'Isère. It's this personal touch that makes you really feel at home. Highly recommended.

We have stayed in several hotels in the Val D'Isere area, but Chalet Hotel du Fornet was the best experience by far. Firstly and most importantly, Marie and Stephane were absolutely incredible to us in every way - from booking the room, to being flexible with quite a few changes, helping us solve everything that came up and most importantly, making us feel so comfortable every day. Secondly - the location is ideal. Fornet is about 5 minute bus away from the centre of Val D"isere (buses are free and come every 5 minutes nonstop all day/night), which is perfect if you are looking for some peace and quiet while still being able to easily access the hussle and bussle. Fornet has its own lift up to a beautiful side of the mountain, which you can then access the rest of the slopes. Thirdly - the hotel itself is a dream. A historical renovated chalet gives you the chalet experience, while the rooms give you the luxury hotel experience. The breakfast is perfect, and we were surprised to find a fully kitted out spa with huge hamman/sauna + Jacuzzi. We had a special 10 days in Chalet Hotel du Fornet, and will definitely be coming back very soon. Thank you again Marie and Stephane!! Martin & Paty.

We were hoping to stay at the Hotel Fornet this February half term and booked two rooms for our children and ourselves. We then realised - 10 days before arrival - that we had stupidly let our son's passport expire. We cancelled our rooms, and were immediately charged the full amount. We spoke to Mary and asked that if they did sell the rooms to others, they might consider refunding us, even in part. And that if they didn't sell the rooms, and our passport came through, we would still stay. We had paid in full for the rooms after all. Astonishingly though, the owners have said that as we've cancelled, we can't now take the rooms (even if they're empty), and nor will they give us any of our money back, if they do sell the rooms. These rooms cost 3800euros for 6 nights. The owners are within their rights to do this, but it is fundamentally not DECENT behaviour. If the rooms have sold, they could refund us - even if only in part - as a gesture of goodwill. If they haven't sold, and our passport arrives, they should still let us stay in the rooms we paid to use, whatever their terms and conditions.
