If you're piecing together your own ski holiday instead of buying a package, you may find Hotel Relais des Villards a good option as it's only 20 mins down the hill from La Rosiere 1850 and significantly cheaper than hotels in the resort itself. We stayed for 4 nights and drove up and down each day (free parking as you enter the resort, then shuttle bus to the Maison du Ski). You could even just head to the lower chair lift 5 mins from the hotel if you have your skis with you.||||We had a 4-person room (double + 2 singles) and it was more than adequate. Nice big radiators to dry our soggy kit. Slight lack of space around the end of the double bed but nothing major. We didn't take the breakfasts as we thought EUR 8.50 was on the higher side for four of us. But we had dinner at the hotel one evening and it was excellent. The staff were super-friendly and speak sufficient English to get by if your French is poor.||||Overall, a welcoming family-run place and good value...
