Tucked a few metres from Val d’Isère's city centre – and really just a stone’s throw away from the slopes – La Mourra’s cosy interiors make it the perfect place to warm up after a day in the snow. It’s a cluster of several suites and chalets connected by winding tunnels underground – but it’s more modern than other spots nearby. With plenty of reclaimed wood, stone and slate, it stays true to the style of the area. Those in search of wellness will approve of the Susanne Kaufmann Spa (and the tiled hammam), plus the on-site Japanese restaurant and bar have energy and sophistication in bucketloads.
