Fahrenheit Seven Val Thorens

We visited the Fahrenheit 7 hotel during the Abode on the Snow festival. The hotel is in a great location, you can ski in and out and also rent your equipment from within the hotel. The hotel also has an amazing terrace bar which hosted many events during our stay which was fantastic. The good overall is great, however the breakfast wasn’t too impressive… Not much variety/choice and mostly cold, but it did the job. Lunch/dinner was a much better experience. This hotel doesn’t offer room service however you can get takeaways from the restaurants during their opening hours. The staff weren’t the most friendly, and service was extremely slow. Overall an ok stay, lovely interior design and amenities like the sauna/steam/jacuzzi. Wouldn’t rush back but was all round a good stay.

We came multiple times with family during the last week of December to the restaurant in the hotel. We were always between 3 and 9 family members, and always got seated on a nice table inside (we found it too cold outside). The selection for lunch is good, service swift, and the staff friendly. Within an hour we had a real nice lunch, were warmed up, and were back to the slopes. Perfect.

Comfortable and modern rooms and facilities. Great menu with a range of food options you will not get bored with. Pulpo was stand out dish for me. The simplicity and convience of ski in and out is a joy. Ski rental in hotel makes the experience seamless and time efficient. Apres ski - excellent - great DJ sound stage and ambiance. The staff are attentive and supportive.

Located on the slopes above the Cascades chair lift, nice ski in,ski out hotel.Ski shop in the hotel, cost for skis,boots and helmet about £85 for 4 days. Ski lockers available in ski room. Good breakfast, cooked or normal continental, plenty of variety for a week of skiing,with good service from the staff who bring you coffee etc. Restaurant had pizzas for about 23 euro’s and were normal hotel prices for location. Plenty of fast food and restaurant alternatives in walking distance. Stayed in twin room, reasonable size; shower,bath,clean and tidy, possibly a few more coat hangers needed. Hotel does host a lively Apres Ski, which started at 1.30pm and finished at 7pm, so no issues, albeit loud. As for skiing, huge number of runs and plenty of snow at high levels, to be fair a great variety for all levels. 3 valleys ski pass for 4 days was £282 , about £10 a day less for just Val Thorens. No complaints.

Wonderful staff: no exceptions! Wonderful vibe. Wonderful rooms. Breakfast perfect, bar chilled, restaurant great. Perfect position in the best ski resort in the world. Pretty hard to top that. Can’t recommend F7 and VT highly enough. We’ve finished our world ski odyssey: this is the place we’ll keep coming back to.

PROS : Very friendly staff, good location to access slopes, spacious, on-site ski hire and boot room, terrace bar pleasant . Lovely views across resort. Excellent pre holiday communication from hotel. CONS: rooms are fairly run down and noise from other rooms disruptive. The hotel had several large groups , mostly male , in Val Thorens to ski hard, party hard it would seem. There was music pumping from rooms at 3am. Perhaps avoid if you like a more refined and relaxing ski experience with your family. I am sure lots of people love the party/music concept but not for us.
