of nowhere but in fact the E43, one the main routes through the Alps, between Northern Italy and Zurich lies only about five kilometres away. That said, there is no sound of traffic and the only sounds here are of the cow bells from the cattle that walk down Donat's only street.
The exterior of the hotel looked exactly as I remembered it. Large and square with a dark timber roof and wooden shutters around each of its windows. The hotel's car park is directly opposite the hotel entrance but it is only small, with room for about a dozen cars. Since the hotel only has twelve rooms this does however usually tend to be sufficient in size.
As soon as I stepped into the entrance I could smell the delicious aroma of home cooked food, some kind of broth I think and Herr Frankenhauser appeared to greet us, offering to carry our luggage up to ...
Advantages: great food, friendly staff, lovely room Disadvantages: a bit of a walk from kitzbuhel town
I stayed at the four star Tirolerhof this year in July on half board basis. The hotel is in a fantastic rural location with lovely views of the surrouding countryside. We had a spacious superior room with a large balcony and a lovely view. Room facilities included satellite tv, hairdryer, safe, telephone and en suite bathroom.
The highlight of our stay has to be the food! A hot and cold buffet is served for breakfast with a great range of breads, pastries, cereals, ham, cheese and yoghurts to choose from as well as eggs, bacon and sausages. Dinner is a gourmet four course- an entree, soup, main course and desert and is absoultely delicious- a mix of austrain food and modern cuisine! A barbecue and market buffet is served twice a week. Free tea/coffee and a range of homemade cakes are served every day between 3:30pm and 5pm in ...
Advantages:
Good for beginners, good nightlife, sunny, access to La Grave, free swimming/skating Disadvantages: Limited skiing, not ideal resort layout, frustrating slope and lift layout at hometime
Located in the southern French Alps, and close to Alpe D'Huez and Serre Chevalier, Les Deux Alpes might not be the first ski resort that springs to mind when you think of European skiing.
It's a little unfair as, on an individual basis, the resort compares extremely well to just about any in France. It is the second oldest in resort in the country, after the world famous Chamonix and can boast more than 200km of runs to itself. However, while 2 Alpes may individually have a large ski-area, it lacks the collective might of areas such as the Trois Vallees or Espace Killy when it comes to a linked network of slopes. Essentially, with 2 Alpes what you see is what you get.
For most this won't be a problem - almost 100 different pisted slopes plus good opportunities to drop into off-piste powder fields should keep all but the most ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Les Deux Alpes
A small, cosy, family-run, mountain hotel situated in the centre of the small traditional village of Alp, just a few minutes from the local ski resorts La Molina and Masella. Also very close to the ski resorts of Andorra and France.The 3-star Hotel Jaume is situated in La Cerdanya, in the Pyrenean foothills. It is a family hotel currently run by the fifth generation of the family. The comfortable rooms are decorated in a Provenˤal style and there is also a lounge and games room with a fireplace, wi-fi, lift and garage.As well as being a great destination for skiing, it is also right next to the Fontanals Golf Club. Other activities available are mountain walking and mountain biking.
