We visited Pralognan-la-Vanoise for our first family skiing holidays. It is a small village, but we absolutely loved it! Great mountain views, very good skiing facilities, very friendly people! The only minus is that the shops are open only between 8-12:30 in the morning and 5-7:30. The apartments block is conveniently located to the centre of the village and there is a ski lift very close by. The staff are friendly and helpful (even though not all of them speak good English) the self-catered apartment is well maintained, pleasantly decorated, clean (apart from the bed covers), good kitchen equipment, nice mountain views, very nice swimming pool and hot tab with mountain views. On the negative side, the reception is only open between 8-12:30 and 5-7:30, so you cannot contact anyone outside these times, they give linen at check in that you have to take upstairs with 1euro trolley (refunded) and make the beds as well as drop them off downstairs at check-out (we have never experienced sth similar), there is a book in the room with a big list of items that you may be charged extra at check out (eg.cleaning, hair dryer etc) and you have to complete a detailed inventory for check-in and check out adding more stress. Also, it doesn't have any food offering facilities. I was also a bit dissapointed as a few days before our holidays it was on expedia much cheaper than when I booked it 4 months in advance. Nevertheless, we would recommend it and we might visit it again.

A long way from the village. A car is vital. Very fine place to stay with family, nice and quiet.
