L'Ancien Paquier Chambre d'Hotes

We stayed at L'Ancien Paquier chambres d'hotes for a short break just before Christmas and had an absolutely fantastic time. We has some challenges with our outward journey and Fabio and Paola were so accommodating - they really are the most hospitable hosts who cannot do enough for you. We definitely wouldn't have received the same service and experience with bigger hotels. The suite we stayed in was perfect for us and our two small children. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and my partner and I even managed to enjoy to the sauna after some time on the slopes. Parking in the underground garage is also really handy (particularly with little children and lots of ski equipment to carry). Last but not least, the breakfast each morning was delightful, with so many homemade treats to enjoy. I'd highly recommend staying here for a comfortable stay, warm Italian welcome, and some expert advice on how to enjoy the local area. We will be back for sure.

This is the first performance camp we have been on and it lived up to expectations. Simon from Rebel Alliance who is Level 5 BASI found terrain to suit the weather and level of the group. Our group was mixed in age range from my son at 17 up to guys 50 +. The relaxed environment and small group (in our case 6 people) meant that everybody would receive analysis and feedback with video footage. We stayed in La Ancien Paquier, located in the center of the historic village of Valtournenche with excellent hosts Paula and Fabio. The accommodation is B&B, spotless, well located and the hosts would bring our various snacks over drinks after a day on the snow. Evening meals are a relaxed affair in the village which has ample traditional restaurants at competitive process. Riding everyday we covered in excess of 140km in 5 days across both piste and powder, all well planned and manged by Simon. We rode areas that without a guide we may not have found and the highlight was the 46km day trip from Valtournenche, and back. If you want to improve your riding in a relaxed environment with great guides and hosts then this is for you!!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo B&b per 5 notti e siamo stati talmente bene che ne abbiamo aggiunta un'altra. Paola e Fabio, sono stati stupendi, super gentili e disponibili. Paola ci dava ottimi consigli sulle escursioni da fare e sui ristoranti da frequentare, mentre Fabio preparava le sue fantastiche torte. Ciliegina sulla torta....Fabio fa dei gelati speciali, al rientro da ogni escursione era mio desiderio "obbligo" mangiarne uno con gusti sempre diversi e originali. Le nostre camere, accoglienti e molto pulite disponevano di una bellissima terrazza. Spero di rivedervi presto. Noi non dimentichiamo chi ci ha trattato bene.

Consiglio la struttura: camere molto pulite, accoglienza da parte dei titolari ottima e colazione deliziosa con tutti prodotti fatti in casa freschi e locali. La struttura ha una posizione strategica, vicina agli impianti sciistici. Da provare!

We have just returned from a wonderful short stay here. The rooms are comfortable and cosy. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, setting us up for a day on the slopes. The hosts were warm and welcoming and were very helpful, especially when accommodating our late check out. Location is perfect in town, the lift to the slopes is a 20 minute nice walk along the river. Or there is a ski bus however we preferred to walk.
