We have just returned from a stay here. I agree with other reviews that trying to get into the hotel through the carpark and up a set of stairs to a lift with luggage and skis was tricky. The location was fantastic straight onto the slopes although it was rather a steep blue, but with only one weeks skiing under... More

Just checking out of Hotel Balcons today. I've read some of the other negative reviews, and I'm a little surprised. OK, so the hotel isn't 4 star luxury, but neither is it supposed to be. We found the hotel to be very good at the important things, but with some small room for improvement in a couple of small areas.... More

Apparently this hotel has experienced a boiler breakdowns before, but continously accepts guests knowing that guest could be without hot water at... More

To avoid confusion - there are Balcons apartments and a hotel which are in neighbouring buildings. This review relates to the hotel, where we stayed. Entrance to the hotel was via the underground carpark and a lift to the reception - not the most impressive of starts when you are loaded down with ski luggage! Reception was small - staff... More

The Good: The skiing in the La Plagne area is very good. We've been to most of the major places in France, Switzerland, Austria and Scandinavia, and skiing wise La Plagne is among the very best. We stayed there in the very high season, and if you stayed up in the slopes (avoidng the few bottlenecks down below) there were... More
