Les Balcons Platinum Val Thorens

Les Balcons Platinum Val Thorens is one of our personal favourite places to stay in the brilliant resort of Val Thorens. These 5 star self catering apartments are located in the upper levels of the Val Thorens resort - in a peaceful setting providing the perfect place to relax whilst still maintaining proximity to the main resort, which is around a 10-minute downhill walk away.

 

Les Balcons Platinum is the luxury chalet block of the Les Balcons de Val Thorens complex. There are excellent views of the mountains thanks to the location of this accommodation, and there’s various different apartment options available, with smaller apartments sleeping four guests right up to larger apartments which can sleep up to fourteen. The larger apartments provide incredible levels of value with enough guests, making Les Balcons Platinum massively popular with families and larger groups.

 

Residence Les Balcons Platinum Apartment Sizes

The smallest apartment is a one bedroom, 4 person apartment with two single beds (can be made into a double) and sofa beds in the lounge that sleep 2. Apartments then increase in size running up to an six bedroom apartment, that can sleep up to 14 people.

 

Residence Les Balcons Platinum Catering/Board

These apartments are self-catering, but there are two restaurants on-site, as well as a mini-market and bakery. All of the apartments have a fully equipped kitchenette, which provides a hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, fridge freezer and even a coffee machine.

 

These apartments allow you to eat in, and eat out whenever you please - allowing you to enjoy your holiday, your way. This accommodation is very flexible and can be booked on a B&B, dinner only, half-board or full-board basis. The meals will be take in l'Auberge des Balcons which is ranked 4th best restaurant in Val Thorens. There's also the option to add on a drinks package which gives you 2 drinks (beer, house wine, soft drinks) with each evening meal, working out significantly cheaper than you would normally be able to buy in a top French ski resort!
