Sowell Residences Summary

There’s room for all at the Sowell Residences, whether you’re travelling solo or with a group.

The apartments are split across two sections of the long residence building, separated by shops and a mini market. These modest apartments are decorated with neutral colours and dark wood flooring. There’s a whole range of sizes available, from two-person studios to apartments for six. Each of them comes with a kitchenette with hobs, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and coffee maker – so you can prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner whenever you want. And most of them have a balcony, so you can sit out and make the most of the view.

The residence is also home to a small indoor pool, great for tiring out the kids once back from the slopes. You can also stock up with food and drink for the week at the onsite mini market.

When you’re all settled in, it’s time to hit the slopes. It’s just a minute’s walk to the nearest run and gondola. And once you're clicked in to your skis, the ski school meeting point is a short slide away.
