It's one of the resort's star addresses, the highest in Europe and one of the most prestigious. A palace of glass and steel, set at an altitude of 2,300 m opposite the cime Caron (the summit of Val Thorens), it shakes up the prevailing conformism by blending the comfort of a high-tech hotel with the aesthetics of the 1930s. The 88 rooms and suites are adorned with functional, designer blond-wood furniture, tweed fabrics and huge picture windows. In terms of gastronomy, the establishment is home to three restaurants: Casa Alta for Italian cuisine, Altayaki for Asian-inspired cuisine and La Laiterie for fondue. A special mention goes to the spa, with its Scandinavian forest decor and indoor and outdoor pools, where you can swim in front of the mountains before taking a dip in the ice fountain.
