The hotel's heart-shaped motif is everywhere; carved into the back of chairs and emblazoned on plates. It is a fitting symbol because it is easy to fall in love with Hotel Allodis, not least because they refer to cooking as the "the art gastronomy'' and take it very seriously indeed in the best kind of way.  The chalet nestles in the wide skiing expanse of the Trois Vallees, the perfect place to put in some substantial skiing kilometres before coming back for a well deserved blow-out meal. The restaurant terrace has panoramic views and if you need time to digest all that good food after lunch I recommend getting a skiers suntan (neck up only) in one of the emerald green deck chairs on the sun terrace.
