Hotel Tres Puntas

Valle Nevado Hotel Tres Puntas is designed specifically with the skier who does not want to spend too much on their accommodation. Typically, this will mean younger people who do not demand much in the way of more comfortable surroundings, when all they want to do is ski.

Tres Puntas offers 82 guest rooms. The hotel building is physically located about 150m from the central, and main Valle Nevado hotel complex.

About
Hotel Tres Puntas is a simple hotel with no frills. It is designed totally for the younger end of the market where guests are not particularly demanding with regards to accommodation comfort and facilities.

It offers 82 guest rooms, each one with “sufficient” space and en-suite bathrooms.

Guests will receive half board when they stay here with breakfast served in the Sur Restaurant and dinner, with a reservation, in the Mirador del Plomo restaurant.

Physically the hotel is built into the mountain side, running off horizontally from the main car park in front of the principal Valle Nevado complex, from which it is about 150m from.

There is a Tres Puntas bar, open from 17:00hrs for after ski drinks. However, on the top floor there is a pub with pool tables.

Ski guests in Tres Puntas will also have free access to the fitness centre with sauna as well as aerobics and stretching classes. In addition, guests can use the small, outdoor, heated pool the other side of the Hotel Puerta del Sol.

Other services include a child day care for kids between 3 to 7 years of age (open between 09:00hrs – 13:00hrs and 14:00hrs – 18:00hrs).

WiFi is available throughout the hotel and in the rooms, there is cable television.

Ski Lift Tickets
Lift tickets are valid to the end of the day BEFORE check-out day. However, if you ski on the final day you will be given a day pass for that day as long as you check-out before 10:00hrs on check-out day.

Hotel Puerta del Sol

Within the Valle Nevado ski resort the Hotel Puerta del Sol is considered to be the “mid-range-level” hotel. This is to say that it is not the best and not the simplest.

This hotel is designed for people who want a decent and comfortable place to stay, but with none of the other luxury add-ons. Rooms are practical. Those facing north have small, exterior terraces with views down the valley and to the tops of the Andes.

The hotel forms the northern side of the main, central Valle Nevado complex and from the lobby area there is direct access to the small, outdoor pool, kid’s zone, internet centre, bar and restaurant, as well as a “hop” to the piste.

About
Hotel Puerta del Sol offers 121 guest rooms in the tall building that forms the northern side of the Valle Nevado central complex.

The idea behind Puerta de Sol is for Valle Nevado to be able to offer three levels and styles of hotels for different budgets and tastes. Puerta del Sol “sits in the middle” of the higher-end hotel and the lower-end hotel.

Rooms in this hotel are practical, not extravagant, and “do their job” so to speak. If your primary reason to stay at Valle Nevado is to ski then Puerta del Sol is fine, however, if you want a more spacious and comfortable room at night you need the other hotel called Hotel Valle Nevado.

Ski Programs
Within the Puerta del Sol Ski Week programs the following is included:
Half Board: (dinner on check-in day, to breakfast on check-out day).
Ski Lift Pass: Valid to the day BEFORE check out, then an extra day pass will be issued for the final day if you check-out before 10:00hrs, but wish to ski that day.
Fitness Centre: Access to the Spa and Fitness centre, but massage is at an additional cost.
Ski Storage
WiFi

Hotel Valle Nevado

The Valle Nevado Ski resort comprises three, different hotels, each offering a varied level of comfort and facilities for ski guests. The idea behind this is to offer accommodation for people with different demands and available budgets.

Hotel Valle Nevado is categorised as the best of the three hotel options.

The hotel predominately occupies a “wing” of the overall resort positioned in such a way whereby the northern-side rooms face the ski slopes and the southern side rooms look down to the almost vertical-drop valley below. The rooms have small balconies, and it is easy to ski directly onto the piste from the hotel lobby area.

It offers 51 guest rooms, including suite rooms and access to the French restaurant called La Fourchette. Other hotel facilities include Wi-Fi, a spa, fitness centre, and bar. There is also an exterior, heated, circular pool.

Ski Programs include:
Half board accommodation programs (breakfast and dinner but beverages are charged as extras).
Ski Tickets.
Access to the Fitness and Spa centre (massage service extra).
Ski Storage.

About
Hotel Valle Nevado is rated as a 5-star ski hotel within the overall Valle Nevado ski centre complex.

The rooms are of a decent level and reasonably spacious, and this hotel, out of the three at the complex, is definitely the better one.
