Font d'Argent Pas de la Casa

Visited here in March 2024 on a lads snowboarding trip. I'll get a few of the negative's out the way first as the positives far outweigh the negatives. The worst thing for me was the facilities for storing the snow gear, skis and snowboards following a day in the snow I would expect the facilities to be good enough to dry out the gear ready for the next day but we found the locker room damp with no heating like we have experienced in other hotels in the past. This meant out boots were damp each day. The mountain views advertised mean you can see part of a mountain if you break your neck out the windows. Not really an issue though. The hotel location is perfect for access to the slopes. Literally a few minutes walk. Directly next door in either direction or opposite the hotel are bars and clubs, shops and ski shops etc. Noise from bars and clubs was a bit loud on the weekend and woke me one night but nothing major. I have seen a few bad reviews mention the language of the staff not being great English. Considering you're not in England I'm not sure what some people expect. Majority of the staff had good English with only a few struggled a bit to understand us and likewise us to understand them but overall it was not a problem. One thing I can say is even if the language was an issue the staff we pleasant, polite and helpful. Rooms was tidy and housekeeping cleaned and made beds every day. not the biggest rooms but good enough for what we needed. Food was good from the restaurant. I tended to stay away from the main buffet as the food was generally not hot enough unless you're lucky enough to get the food when it comes out but the freshly cooked grilled food each night cooked to order along with the fresh eggs / omelet's each morning was more than adequate. Fresh fruit and pastries each day was also good. Spa facilities was basic but better than nothing and we did spend a couple of nights in there. On the day of departure we had to leave early at 4.30am and the hotel provided us all with a small bag containing some food and a drink which was a nice unexpected touch. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again if I came back to this area for snowboarding in the future.
