Hotel Jam Session

Solo skiing trip in March 2025 for one week, booked through Sunweb. Hotel Jam Session is situated in the Village 1800 area of Les Deux Alps so a short walk, shuttle bus ride or brief ski down into the town centre. Village 1800 has all its owns bars and amenities though and is much quieter than the town centre accomodations which suited me. Les Deux Alps is a small resort so everywhere is very easily accessible. Check in is straightforward, staff were expecting me and were keeping a look out. Staff extremely knowledgeable about the local area, ski hire and lift network. Room very basic and desperately in need of refurbishment however was clean, tidy, warm and comfortable. Basic daily clean and fresh towels provided (I would bring my own towel if I visited again as they were tiny). Boot room adequate, although I would recommend taking your boots to your room each evening as they won't fully dry. Hotel Jam Session is basically next to the Village 1800 lift (one minute walk) which will take you up to 2200m where you can lift hop to the summit or ski back down to 1650m and catch the Jandri right to the top. Hotel Jam Session has a green run basically outside the front door that you can use to ski straight down to the Jandri and other lifts or down to the Cote lift where you can access the Vallee Blanche area of the resort (in my opinion, Hotel Jam Session is all bit ski in/ski out). Hotel Jam Session is Italian run and this is reflected in the food. I was half board. Simple continental style buffet breakfast with scrambled eggs. Evening meal was a salad bar/buffet, pasta, risotto or soup course, main course and dessert. Food simple but tasty, lots of people seem to be complaining about the quality and portion size but I felt it was adequate for the rating of the hotel. I don't have any dietary requirements. The staff tend to sit single people all together on the same table at dinner which I had no issue with as I love to chat and meet new people - I even met a few people to ski with on a couple of the days and had a heavy night out of apres ski with another which was fun. The bar is open from 16:00 daily. Free bar snacks provided which is a nice touch. Expert barman who is happy to make any drink or cocktail you fancy. WiFi is free and a bit patchy but on the whole worked fine. Was much more reliable in communal areas than in my room. Room was equipped with a smart TV which I was able to connect to the WiFi and access Netflix/Prime Video etc without any issue. Hotel Jam Session is by no means luxury but I was aware from reading other reviews and it's two star rating exactly what to expect. I'm out skiing for eight hours a day so as long as I have somewhere to shower and get my head down I'm not bothered. Hotel Jam Session's awesome staff and location on the resort are the main things it has going for it! I had a fantastic stay and I wouldn't hesitate staying there again if I ever return to Les Deux Alps. Would be a five star rating but like I said, t

We stayed here for a weeks skiing at Jan Session hotel on half board. I would rate the hotel as a 2 star hotel. The rooms are basic but fine. Soon time for a refurb. The ski room is easily accessible and no more than 1 or 2 mins to the slopes. Tip - the Villahe lift is very close for a return from mid station. Breakfast was buffet style. Evening meals Italian style 3 / 4 courses. There is also a gym in the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Pleased we stayed.

We have been staying in this hotel each time we come to ski for the past 15 years! The owner and manager Michele is an amazing person, as well as the rest of the staff - Carmello in the restaurant, Alex in the bar and all the other kind guys who will make your stay unforgettable. We love the half board here - you will feel like you are in Italy while skiing in the French Alps. Great food, wine and cocktails! The rooms are very comfortable, nothing fancy but so cosy! When there is enough snow, you can literally ski to the hotel. The sunset views are stunning. This family hotel really feels like home and we will come back with great pleasure!
