Scout loves
- Recently updated 3 star hotel which retains its French chalet feel
- Great location: close to the slopes and village whilst being tucked in a quiet position
- The restaurant serves traditional Savoyard fare (including delicious raclette of course!)
- Comfortable, convenient and friendly atmosphere
- Brand new spa with excellent views
Scout tips
- The restaurant is closed on Mondays
- Request a double bed if you're a couple, because some rooms only have single beds that can be pushed together
- After checking out, they let you leave your luggage in at the hotel living room for safe keeping, and you may still use the showers at the ground floor before leaving
- Skis can be rented from the shop opposite the hotel
SCOUT REVIEW
Hotel Avancher has always been a Scout favorite thanks to its charm, friendly service and authentic chalet style and despite the recent upgrade it hasn't lost it's It Factor! The hotel features comfortable couple and family hotel rooms as well as having the additional lodge accommodation which serves self-catered guests in three-bedroom apartments.
Hotel Avancher is one of the oldest in Val d'Isère, built in 1949 but the recent renovations mean that guests now benefit from modern beds and furnishings, chic bathrooms and a brand new spa. It is still a three star hotel and offers some of the friendliest service and best value in all of Val d'Isère valley. All of Val’s restaurants, bars and shops are within walking distance and there is even a restaurant on-site with Chef Olivier Nuret serving up the best raclette in the village!
If you are a bit of a whiz on the skis, you can ski nearly into the back of this hotel. However the easiest way to get to and from the slopes is by taking the free and short shuttle bus.
Everything about Avancher is very welcoming and friendly, from the service to the other guests. Apres ski in the bar or out on the terrace is fun yet laid-back and there's a communal lounge area with board games and children's toys. They are also happy to lend/rent you iPads, GoPros, walkie-talkies and GPS systems – the sorts of things you'll need to make your ski day more enjoyable.
One of the hotel's biggest renovations is the spa which now has a sauna, jacuzzi and hammam. The Scandinavian-style sauna is located on the room - hence the epic views! This completely adds to the Avancher experience as do the massage and hair salon services available on-site.
Who should stay here
Hotel Avancher manages to feature a great balance of everything which makes it perfect for couples and families alike.
Location
Hotel L'Avancher is only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the slopes and the village, 300 meters from the Tourist Office. It is not exactly ski-in, but more experienced skiers can ski directly back to the hotel. You can catch the shuttle bus to the village, the hotel is only 50 meters from the bus stop. You can find Avancer on a village map here. Avancher is the red dot - 28.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
