Hotel le Druos

My wife and I spent 4 nights and 5 days at Hotel Druos in early Jan of 2024. What a wonderful experience. This hotel is great and has an A+ location. You can access the mall and have access to rental equipment, groceries, restaurants, and misc shopping without ever stepping outside. The hotel is a true ski in/ ski out and has a nice ski room to unload all of your gear for the night. Valerie and her husband are wonderful hosts, and their staff was very friendly and very accommodating. The breakfasts were excellent and were a great start to the day. We had some difficulty getting to the hotel, the car we rented did not have winter tires and we got caught in a snowstorm on our way up and got stuck on a switchback corner. We contacted Valerie and she immediately arranged to have someone come pick us up but unfortunately there was a 3 bus accident right above us which blocked the road. After about 3 hours a couple from Nice let us hop in their car and they took us the rest of the way up once an alternate route was cleared. The hotel went above and beyond the next day and arranged for a car (Douglas) to take us back down to retrieve our luggage and without winter tires we left our car where it was stranded until we left. Valerie actually drove us down to our car on our final day. They went out of their way to ensure our safety and enjoyment. Isola 2000 is great skiing and very intermediate friendly. It is an older resort and purpose built for winter activities. Although the rooms in the hotel are small, they are very clean and comfortable and a great place to catch some Z's before the next days actions. We typically stay in 5 star hotels in Vail, Verbier, Kitzbuhl and would not hesitate to go back to Hotel Druos. Their service is 5+ stars. Very friendly people to boot. If you plan on driving be sure to have winter tires, otherwise arrange for a car which we highly recommend using Douglas who Valerie had arranged to bring us to retrieve our luggage. Thank you Hotel Druos for a great experience.

Vaierie and her team looked after us really well. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were great and the room excellent with a really powerful shower and great view from our balcony. No evening meal but in Isola it does not matter because there are so many restaurants so close. The number one attraction is that you are able to take just a few steps and you are on the the piste. The best ‘ski in, ski out’ you can imagine. The Druos is not expensive but warm, welcoming and friendly and everything you could want. I have skied in 41 resorts in Europe and America and to my mind Isola 2000 is head and shoulders above any resort to learn to ski but it also has plenty of challenging runs for the good skier. If you want your children to start skiing this is the place to come and the hotel to use. If grandparents are in tow there is no charge for a ski pass for anyone over 75! Great for me as I am 81! Thank you Valerie for a super week.
