The Sowell Family La Lauzière’s tucked in the quieter, more traditional Plagne Montalbert, so it’ll be right up your piste if you’re after a laid-back base with speedy access to the whole La Plagne and Paradiski area. If you've a few ski trips under your belt, you can ski to and from the boot room door on a red run when the snow's good. For ski school or nursery slopes, just hop on the ski bus. And when you want to explore more of the ski area, the speedy Montalbert gondola whisks you up towards Plagne Centre.

The hotel's got that classic alpine charm – cream walls, dark wood cladding and balconies outside, while inside you'll find a cosy lounge with earthy tones, comfy sofas and a roaring fire. The compact rooms have homely touches like fluffy pillows, snug covers and a modern bathroom for those post-ski soaks.

You’ll be staying all-inclusive, so food’s a breeze. You’ll kick off with the delicious breakfast buffet and you can also make yourself a spot of lunch for a slopeside pick-me-up later in the ski day. Then, when you click out the skis, afternoon tea’s on the cards to keep any hunger pangs at bay and for your final fuel-up, the evening meal’s another buffet affair with plenty of choices to tempt. Add in free soft and hot drinks, beer and wine between 10am and 10pm plus a selection of stronger alcoholic drinks at certain times of the day, and that’s you sorted.

Please note: This hotel only accepts children from 3 years old.
