Résidence Almes 1 by Alpapart

Brilliant apartment, clean and spacious. Extremely helpful staff, raclette machines available. Spacious ski lockers with boot dryers. Absolutely would stay again.

This is ski in but definitely not ski out. You have to walk uphill with your skis about 15m. To ski in, you have to use the Palafour and Almes lifts. There is an additional cleaning fee if you don’t want to vacuum and mop your unit. There is NO sauna available The location is one of the further uphill ones and quite far from any bus stops, restaurants, and grocery stores. It was a struggle to get back after Apres with all the skis walking uphill from the main bus stops in town. I would prefer to book nearer to the 2100 bus route and main bus stop next time on the other side of town. Quite troublesome to get to if you have a shuttle that picks up from the main bus station as you have to lug all your bags to/from the hotel.

Great accomodation and location, sauna & steam rooms also included for residents. Stayed 3 times so far and no complaints to date. Update March 2023. Reduction in facilities, sauna and steam room no longer available in the same building, towel rails and bath jets disabled. Still great, but not the same level of comfort.
