L' Elan sur Valmeinier

2 weeks in July / August 2024 + +: Wonderful stay. Very professional, friendly welcome, and surprise a €100 gift card to spend on activities from the tourist office! Apartment on the 1st floor of the Caribou building (the one below the main Thabor). Very beautiful view of the mountain, ideally located and relatively quiet. One floor down to arrive at the top of the covered stairs which go down to the "snow front" and the small center with shops and restaurants. And a covered escalator to go back up! Very quiet apartment (a technical reserve on the left, an unoccupied apartment on the right). Very good size for 2 (bedroom and separate toilet), large balcony very well exposed, very bright, all day long, redone decor, sober, bright and "cocooning". Pretty friendly resort, on a human scale. A multitude of hikes and very beautiful views that are already very accessible. - -: small downside for the parking, minute drop-off authorized in front of the entrance (to clear the car), and very quickly chased away with leaflets threatening to be impounded. And authorized parking solutions are quite far away. The dryer is out of service (but that can be fixed). Indeed, the sound insulation between the floors is perhaps quite average, we benefit from some noise (from the toilet for example...), even if for us the tenants were relatively discreet. And finally a view to the side, through the bedroom (therefore not main) slightly marred by a burned down residence building (in January). But this is not P&V's responsibility, and let's hope it is rebuilt quickly.

We love ValMeunier and recommend it for anyone wanting calm, fullness and a sensational view.

Solo stay to disconnect in the fresh air, I didn't expect such good quality welcome and accommodation! Visit at the end of August so without crowds, very appreciable :)

Pleasant and relaxing site. Welcoming and competent staff.

Very nice, quiet resort, very nice hikes and the shops are well placed, the two small restaurants beyond the pleasant high station, a preference for the lauze and the renovated apartment, well equipped, good bedding with a beautiful view of the mountains, I recommend, thank you

Hiking holidays for us. The location is ideal and the resort offers everything you need. The apartment is of sufficient size, the functional kitchen and the bedding allows for a good rest!

A first and great experience in a Pierre et Vacances residence in Valmeinier. Everything was perfect

Great cost effect location to start your hikes. Please note that with the premium Mountain View you get a room on the North with no sunshine which could be nice a cool during hot weather, but also very chilly on less warm (normal summer) days. The staff is very kind and the view, stunning. The state of the building OK, but clearly below what you get at a PV Premium location. The biggest treat of this location is the heated outdoor swimming pool. Where amazingly you can swim and sunbathe without getting cold at almost any weather.

Breathtaking view of the valley. Family and lively resort. Welcoming and attentive staff. I highly recommend spending your stay there

Clean accommodation, top organization and services. Thank you for welcoming two friendly hikers on their return to civilization.
