"At the beginning was hunger: the only restaurant on the Isère val town to accept customers without reservation, we go to nano with some apprehension about the quality of the service, the station being absolutely crowded. Then came the wait: long, in the tiny entrance hall; long still, stuck between the coat rack and other customers; interminable between installation and control socket; worse than anything between the dishes, from the aperitif to the coffee.But let's go through this detail, to the extent that we remain for a good reason, namely that nowhere else we were accepted at the table. So let's eat! Well, everything is absolutely out of price, but we didn't expect a decent rate in a station like Isère's val.Well, once (finally) installed, a badly served aperitif, a waitress lost by the bosses/fishers snoozing on a poor couple of tourists, a maussade manager and hagard, a barmaid who snobblyes us when we try to get her a beautiful painting! and I haven't spoken about food itself yet! Well, honestly, that's going on. It doesn't break any paws at any duck, especially for the price, and it happens at random temperatures, but the taste is correct. We'll have a compelling memory of not much at this point of view.Well, I think we all understood that this place is to be avoided. and among all the tourists tight as sardines at the bottom of the restaurant with which we shared our vital space during the meal, we were not the only ones to think about it."

"I have to say that I probably didn't do this meal justice as I'd stupidly had a large lunch that day. The place is very nice and the service is excellent, they really did go out of their way to look after us. When we walked in we had a drink at the bar first where we were presented with 2 types of bread and a deep fried piece of foie gras. Nice start Then they took our order at the bar and gave us a goats cheese cone, an oyster and more foie gras. Then we sat down at our table, where we were presented with a poached egg in a dark crispy shell with more foie gras. And this was all before the starter! I like foie gras but I felt there was a bit too much. Then we had our starters of scallops and black truffle which were excellent. We then had the chefs speciality, a whole roast chicken (with black truffle under the skin) carved at the table. By this time I wasn’t really hungry and had to start forcing a little in. The problem was there were 2 servings of chicken each! I declined my 2nd serving. The chicken was nice but having had black truffle with the starter, it was probably a mistake to have it again with the main. The main was served with garlic mash. Now I love garlic but this was way way too strong, it was inedible. We then had a sorbet amuse bouche followed by desert which was ‘award winning’ profiteroles. (These were sourced externally and not produced by the chef). They were amazing (see pic) Then we had coffee and a mini chocolate selection before my wife rolled my back to the chalet. Personally I wouldn’t rush back but as I say I probably would have appreciated it more if I was hungry when I arrived. It is better than average"

"Even before we arrive, we receive helpful emails asking us if we need our transfers from the airport organised, or if we would like any lunch or dinner reservations to be taken care of prior to arrival. Yes, absolutely.... And it all gets done, and...everything goes flawlessly. This was our fourth time staying at La Mourra. Each time we have stayed in the double bedroom suite of room 22.... This is a perfect set up with two older teenage boys and ourselves. La Mourra is everything that the other hotels are… And that they are not. It is beautiful, luxurious, exceptionally clean, comfortable and well-located. The level of service here outdoes absolutely everywhere… Everyone is made to feel like they are the most important guest! (Certainly due to the amazing hotel manager Matthieu).No request is ever too small or too big.....Two years ago when we stayed for Christmas and it was going to be our first Christmas not at home, I requested a decorated Christmas tree for our room...And there was a tree, beautifully decorated and all lit up, when we arrived. By the way....the beds! The most comfortable beds EVER. The hotel has their own vans/cars, So there is always someone available to take you and your skis to and from the slopes, or to pick you up if you finish in La Daille or Le Fornet, And they are just a phone call away and always quick and doing the job with a smile. Honestly, you really feel as if the staff enjoy their jobs… Everyone is so kind! It would be unfair not to mention the exceptional housekeeping.... The room is completely cleaned top to bottom not just once, but twice each and every day! The minibar is free and restart routinely, the breakfast is fabulous, the hotel has both the Times newspaper (UK), as well as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal… In addition to all of the French language newspapers. And if you take a day off of skiing (but seriously, why would you .... The spa is pretty fabulous too! Every time that we leave, we are already trying to plan on when and how we can get back....."
