Valadalen Holidays from AU$3,409

A charming, family-run hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. Cross-country ski in and out, free parking on property, great facilities. We had a lovely one night stay here with a delicious locally-sourced dinner. Breakfast has good options and nothing is too much trouble. Recommended.

The owner, Peder, was extremely friendly and helpful as were all his staff, the hotel is small but very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel restaurant is fabulous and worth the relatively high prices, but not realistic to eat there every night; the only other option nearby is an Italian restaurant adjacent to a service station, that doubles as a transport cafe.

A very family friendly. as such guests seem a lot more relaxed

This was a beautiful property and pretty convenient for the slopes. You can walk or take a bus to the slopes. The bus is usually free and stops by close. The room was nice, and so was the interior. It has a nice view of the outside and plenty of lounge areas. However, I would label this more as a bed and breakfast. They have on the sign that the front desk is staffed till 7 p.m. but we only saw staff around breakfast and at some random times. Also, we had to use a code for the door when we got there after 9 p.m. but the instructions weren’t super clear and we almost couldn’t get in. That was a little bit on us for not finding the right door, but the exact entrance was not given to us when we were called. We had a maintenance issue and called the number a few times before reaching them, but someone did come quite quickly. I would be aware to not expect someone to be at your disposal 24/7 like a hotel. For instance, if you got locked out at like 12 a.m., I’m not sure what you’d do. The breakfast was phenomenal however and the owner did a remarkable job of hosting and preparing the meal. Definitely a big plus!! I would highly consider staying here again, but just with the knowledge of getting there early enough/being careful with room issues since it seems like there may be a narrow window for them to be resolved.

A beautiful location. Staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
