Apartments, condominiums, flats
Apartments are the French choice for accommodation. In fact, apartment beds outnumber hotel beds by at least 5 to 1. What you get is the ability to schedule off-slope life at your own pace and an excellent way to avoid the high hotel prices.

For four-person apartment in February high season, expect to pay €1,134–€1,520. Rates vary based on the luxury and location of the apartment. Individuals sharing flats during the high season periods will pay approximately €500-€600 per person for a week with Three Valleys skipass.

Gorgeous apartments that will sleep six to eight in Les Montagnettes, as well as the brand new Les Alpages de Reberty or Les Chalets du Soleil, cost approximately €1,350 in most of January and spike up to €2,260 for the holidays.
