Insider's View
The Koh-I Nor is in fact a 105.6 carat diamond, originally from India, which was presented to Queen Victoria. It is now displayed as part of the crown jewels in the Tower of London!

Insider's View
To fill the void a hard day on the mountain creates, the Tartiflette at Le Cabin is a real treat. A gentle stroll back to the hotel is essential after this cheesy, creamy and meaty Savoyard staple.

When to go
Val Thorens offers great skiing throughout the winter. The Trois Vallées has both sunny south facing slopes, which are ideal on colder days, and higher more shaded skiing with snow-sure slopes. On one side, the North-facing slopes of Courchevel offer further great skiing and on the other, the Val Thorens valley has some of Europe's highest altitude skiing. Easy access to the entire Three Valleys makes it hard to beat from December through to late April.
