Hotel Pashmina

Hotel Pashmina is a hotel in Val Thorens. It is ski-in/ski-out, so skis go on at the door and the day ends without a walk in boots — with a group at Christmas, that matters more than almost anything else on a brochure. Cots and family rooms are available, which is the detail that decides it for anyone travelling with small children. Skiworld class this one as a luxury property — their classification, not ours. It has a hot tub, a sauna and a swimming pool. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when an outdoor hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort.

Val Thorens scores 84 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 2300m. That is among the more dependable places to be skiing in Christmas week.

Hotel Pashmina is a hotel rather than a chalet, so rooms are booked individually and there is no whole-property hire. That suits a couple, or a group happy to be under one roof without sharing a kitchen and a sitting room. Rooms sleep up to 2.

Bed configuration is the thing most worth checking directly with the operator — how a chalet divides its beds matters more at Christmas than the headline number.
