Hotel Alparena & Spa - 4 Etoiles

Second visit to Alparena Spa …perfect in every way,from the wonderful reception by Elisabeth and her staff to the fabulous facilities. A truly ski in,ski out hotel….spotlessly clean with fabulous spa. Amazing rooms,views right across the valley and underground parking..with lifts straight up to the rooms. Lovely lunchtime terrace with live music …literally cannot find fault with anything. We plan to be back next season.

My friends and I went to the Solario two times. And the food was excellent. Also many thanks to Elizabeth and all her colleagues who was very professional and friendly. Little tips: take the salted butter crepes and add pecan on it it would blow your mind.

Just returned from a 7 night family ski stay. The experience was outstanding from start to finish. The hotel itself feels newly constructed and thoughtfully designed. Ski shop, boot room all located in the hotel near the ski in/out facility. Kids room well interior designed and placed next to evening drinks bar so adults and kids close by. Solario restaurant with outside terrace looking at breathtaking views. Menu a perfect mix of local and contemporary cuisine with the quality served outstanding. Spa facilities were perfect for winding down after a long days ski with an abundant offering of sauna, swim and jacuzzi. Bedrooms well considered, designed and proportioned. The hotel team could not do more for us and manager Elizabeth was always on hand with a smile to help with any request.

after last years visit to Alperina I promised to come back - so we did. The Feb visit was the 2nd of three visits in 2024 - thats how much I loved the place. The hotel is still in a great location, the snow was good, the resort is small and great value. But what really made the trips so far so special is the team - even better than last year (in my opinion) Elizabeth is still at the helm running a great hotel and special mention to the following people who were outstanding Raphael in the bar/restaurant Kian in restaurant Juliette in restaurant Johanna the main bar supremo Akemi in Solario Axette in restaurant, Lily in Solario, Lola on reception, Iris and Natalie in the restaurants, not forgetting Shelly the assistant manager. I could go on - housekeeping were great, spa team were great and the kitchen team produced some excellent food. Its just that the named people above took the time to meet me and my wife or me and my friend in January. So thanks again Alperina - see you in March - this time with my son !!! - I'm addicted.

Wow wow and wow, before we had even made it to the slopes, me and the wife had already decided we were coming back in 2025. I am at a loss for how this is 4 and not a 5 star hotel. Having arrived at almost midnight on the Saturday night due to flight and transfer issues, the hotel staff were on the ball from the off. They provided us with a complimentary drink and evening meal which was needed due to being able to get nothing of substance since getting onto the plane at 3pm. We had upgraded to the superior twin room and the room is top quality from the amazing bathroom down to the electronic control of the room with the lights and heating and less we not forget the multitude of plugs you can use and the contactless charging points on the bedside cabinets. We had one slight issue with the spa bath but this was done within an hour of reporting it the following morning. There are spectacular views in the morning and the hotel is also a ski in and ski out location right near the bottom of the Les Eucherts lift. Every single member of hotel staff were amazing and would do anything even if it meant going out of their way to make you happy, I simply can’t fault any of them. We went out half board, and I can’t deny I am the fussiest person when it comes to food but thankfully Kian (a lad from Wales) who has been in France since he was 2 who was one of the waiters spoke fluent French and explained what all the meals were and when there was something that was not liked, they provided an alternate that was not on the menu. We also met a couple from Wales where one of their kids broke their leg with them ending up in a wheelchair, again the hotel staff were amazing with them helping out in any way they could. The whole gym and spa area is truly worth a visit alone but having that at the end of a day’s skiing is really nice to have on your doorstep. There is also a break out room for the kids and a room with lots of pods that you can chill out in and read a book for a bit of quiet time. The hotel has two restaurants, we visited both and the food is amazing in either one but one does not cater for evening meals. If needed there is also a ski shop on site. There is probably more that I have missed but that was what we had used, there are plenty of reviews mentioning Elizabeth but we never met here till the last day and she has already helped us with my food aversions for the next time we come out, the place is absolutely amazing, we will not go anywhere else and have found our home on the slopes for the foreseeable future.

After coming across Hotel Alparena by chance when booking our ski trip and being wowed by the photos, we couldn't wait. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding warm and friendly. We thought being given a tour of the hotel by the receptionist was a nice touch to get you orientated. Getting from the carpark to our room was so easy and close. The room was amazing, really warm, plenty of storage and full of gadgets. We did manage to get some of the TV channels to covert to English speaking as they were all originally in French. A neat touch was motion-sensors to the floor lights to the bathroom for during the night. The food was amazing well presented and a taste sensation, the chefs and waiting staff deserve a mention for their high attention to detail. The ski shop provided a hand wax service for our skis and we really noticed the difference compared to a machine wax. The ski-in-ski-out is perfect being right by the lifts, a nice touch was the cereal bars for a tasty snack on the lifts. What would be a great addition to the ski locker area is a bench in the outside covered area to put your boots on, as you can overheat putting your gear on in the locker room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again in a heart beat. All the staff are polite & friendly and a credit to the Hotel and they can't do enough to make your stay the best ever.

Excellent! We have just returned from our second vacation at L’Alperena and we carnt wait to book again for 2025 The apartment comfort, equipment and cleanliness, the onsite facilities and service - all faultless. My one and only small gripe would be with the main restaurant because this doesn’t have vegetarian options, however the terrace lunch restaurant is fabulous.

Just back from a lovely week at this beautiful hotel. Positives: Great location, a true ski in/ski out hotel. Super helpful, friendly staff in every department, but of course a special mention must go to Elizabeth who deserves her excellent reputation. Clean, well designed rooms with plenty of storage. Top specification bathrooms with plenty of piping hot water. Extensive selection of items for breakfast of very good quality. Evening meals were varied and of good quality. Excellent selection of wine at realistic prices. The spa was totally gorgeous, I really cannot rave about it enough. Wine tasting evening, highly recommended. Negatives: None of these negatives would prevent me from returning, but they were the difference in me giving a full score. Cleaning-any time between 9am-5pm which sometimes I found totally inconvenient if I wanted to come back to my room and rest at 4.30pm before going out in the evening and the cleaners still not have been in to clean. Half board evening meal - having to choose what you are eating the night before - I understand the reasoning behind it eg less waste, but I didn’t like having to know what I wanted 24 hours in advance (this would probably stop me booking half board for future stays). Hot tubs need to be a couple of degrees hotter. Items in mini bar ridiculously expensive eg small bag of crisps (chips) €4.50!!

We spent at Hotel Asparena for 7 days, each of which was unique somehow. We had half-board, and for lunch, we ate at their terrace, which leads to the slope. The room, food, and service were outstanding. The breakfast offers a variety of healthy food and drinks. The three-course dinner was always different and soooo delicious. The property offers a lot for the kids, e.g. children's room, pool and other activities. The property is also pet-friendly. We will definitely be returning there in the future. One of the best ski resorts we have visited. I highly recommend Hotel Alparena for ski lovers, hikers or just for relaxing holidays.
