Massif des Écrins hotel guide. Madame Vacances hotel in Massif des Écrins, Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans

"First, what is in the name - imagine someone who raved hard in Ibiza in the 90s - and what they would look like now - that would be a pretty accurate description of facilities. Still hip, but worn by time. If a bit of shabbiness around the edges bothers you, look elsewhere. In all other respects - a great find. Stayed for a week-long ski vacation in a group of 30 people, had half-board included - excellent food, very friendly staff, easy 2 minute shuttle ride to the Diablo lift (or 10 minute walk). Big lounge area to hang out after dinner, and a big separate play area for kids and teens to entertain themselves."
