Hôtel Totem - Friendly Hotel & Spa | Pied des Pistes

We had a pre-Christmas family get together at the hotel and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Not everyone was a skier - those that were took full advantage of the ski in/ski out facilities and brilliant alpine skiing. Those that weren’t went off exploring on the numerous walking paths with two very excited dogs (their first time in ‘proper’ snow!). The hotel was great. The staff were - as the name suggests - extremely friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The bedrooms were comfortable with a powerful shower/bath after a day on the slopes. I used the jacuzzi (the most picturesque I’ve ever been in?) the sauna and the gym, but there were also loads of spa treatments available for those who wanted a pamper. Food was delicious and plentiful and changed every night, with loads of options to suit all dietary requirements. Breakfast was a feast! (Before arrival I’d been told the food was great by someone who’d been before, and they were right). And finally the resort. It’s small and perfectly formed. Pretty much car free (again, great for children - and dogs) with super accessible nearby parking. The Brutalist architecture might not be to everyone’s tastes but I loved it, and the art dotted round (including a giant Picasso statue), is awesome. Thank you Totem. We’ll be back.

Once again, our older gents ski club enjoyed the warm hospitality from the Totem team in Flaine. Apart from the hotel's superb location, the staff & management are exceptional. The food buffet is delicious everyday, with so much choice. The bar, restaurant , reception staff, & the in-house ski shop owner could not have been more welcoming, friendly & professional. I have stayed in many ski resort accommodations & this provides the perfect blend of good service and value for our January trip. Thank you Totem team.

Great hotel located straight by the slopes. Rooms are clean and comfy, with stunning views from the balcony. Food was delicious, from breakfast to dinner buffet. Make sure to try out the "Oeuf Parfait" which was a delight! On top of that, Totem is dog friendly, so next time I'll make sure to come with my furry friend! 😊 I'll definitely come back with no hesitation!

You can’t visit Flaine without stopping by the Totem Bar! The Happy Hour is an absolute must—great drinks and an even better atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to unwind and soak in the vibes after a day on the slopes. Don't miss it!

We had a fabulous Christmas week at this hotel. It was clean, warm and really well located. The food was really good and the staff were happy and always helpful.

This is a great ski in, ski out hotel. We stayed for three nights over a weekend. The buffet each evening was varied and the theme changed each evening. The food quality was good. Likewise breakfast in the morning had a huge range of food. The bar area (which is adjacent to the dining area) is a nice space to have a drink and relax in the evening. There was a nice warm fire on when we were there.||We opted for the slightly larger room, which I would recommend. The bed was very comfortable.||There is an in-house ski shop, which is very handy.||In terms of improvements, the boot room could be heated and use of the spa could be included in the price.

Stayed here for my first visit to flaine. Absolutely lovely hotel with great facilities! The twin rooms are small but do the job!! The design is super unique and decor is luxurious. The food at breakfast was always great and the staff are absolutely lovely, super hardworking too! The drinks are expensive but the france for you😂 ||The best bit for me was the location to the slope. Absolutely top tier!! Got all are rented ski gear super easy and it was fab to have the slope on our doorstep! I didnt get many pictures of the outside of the hotel - the majority of my pictures are from the main dinner room and view from the windows. There’s so many restaurants and bars surrounding it too!!

The hotel had very friendly with helpful staff, completely faultless. The ski hire shop in the hotel was also great, incredibly helpful manager and the kit was of a high standard. ||The rooms were small, a little bit tired - having paid for a balcony it would have been nice to have chairs on the balcony to sit on. ||The breakfasts were plentiful, high quality and a huge selection. The dinners were very disappointing - we don't tend to eat 3 -4 courses but the only option was the 'set buffet menu' which was £45 per person, which made dinner for our family of 4 very pricey (especially when the teenagers just wanted a bowl of pasta). There was hardly any meat options, lots of fish (in fact the whole hotel smelt of fish every evening). We were thankful we hadn't committed to the half board options so ended up sampling a lot of lovely restaurants in the resort. ||The spa was nice, I've never been to a hotel where you had top pay extra to use the sauna and jacuzzi though - so paying 10 euros per person, per day soon added up. Outdoor hot tub was also lukewarm every night. ||It was fine for a 3 star hotel.

Great breakfast buffet with plenty of healthy options. Dinner mediocre at best. Tortilllas without avocado or hot sauce, that kind of thing. Decent salad bar and desserts though. The hotel has some nice rooms, but we stayed in a 5 person suite 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were fine, nice beds. One of our rooms is facing the forum- and the noise from the skating rink makes an afternoon nap or sleeping before 22.30 impossible. The pub next to the skating rink has music some nights- and that doesn't help either. Then the heat in the hotel- it is just way to warm in the hotel.And very hard to turn down the heat in the rooms. The breakfast area is also way warm- just not comfortable. The ski shop is great- good collection and nice an knowledgeable personnel. The bar area is also very nice- dj with music some Apes ski's and happy hour on Thursday. The music does go on during dinner time. The spa is not very good. The "hot tub" is outside,, great location but should be called "Tepid Tub". It's not warm enough. Also- the spa gets really crowded, so the sauna and tub are overcrowded and on occasion have no more space. Reception and personnel are nice and welcoming.
