Accommodation: The Hotel Rif Blanc is situated in the wonderfully pituresque and authentic alpine spa village of Monetier Les Bains. This sweet little town is a far cry from a purpose built ski town or resort. The hotel is very friendly and cosy just off the main road and only 6 minutes walk to the ski lifts. Monetier is one of the highest villages in the Serre Chevalier resort at 1500 metres, and is famous for its natural hot spring bats and enduring local architecture. Bordering the Ecrins National Park with views of stunning glaciers, it provides over 250km of marked pistes making it one of France's largest ski resorts. A huge array of slopes run across the valley, varying from easy nursery slopes to challenging black run and unforgettable off-piste descents. There are also cross-country skiing tracks, some of the best kite-skiing areas in the Alps, snow-shoeing and other winter sports to discover and enjoy.

Not included: Price is based on double occupancy, a single room supplement of 150 euros is applicable if you are not sharing. Air travel to and from France, transfer to Monetier from an international airport, ski equipment, ski lessons, ski pass, linsurance, lunches or drinks. We can organise a shuttle service from Grenoble (prices vary, contact us for details).
