"It’s not easy to stand out among the countless hotels and mountain inns scattered throughout the French Alps. But Le Fitz Roy is something of an icon. It’s located in the heart of the highest ski resort in all of Europe, Val Thorens; the chalet has served as a meeting place for skiers, climbers and associated hangers-on since its inception. Recently renovated, it’s still grand, but crisp and contemporary, with a see-and-be-seen restaurant, a sunny terrace facing over the slopes, an onsite ski shop and a swimming pool carved into the mountainside." - Tablet Hotels
