  I have just came back from a week at Torgon. Snow was ok, but the main thing I would like to elucidate is the worst ever service experienced at the accommodation Les Cretes.
  The reception people had a non-professional behaviour. In particular they kept us waiting for over half an hour even though we had arrived on time.
  There was not an allocated parking space as advertised on the brochure and therefore every time we had to search for at least 15 minutes for an indoor space.
  The worse event we experienced during our stay was once when they attached an A4 page notification on the windscreen of the car using proper GLUE!!!!!.....to make as aware that the parking space we left our car in was not appropriate. So imagine yourselves in the morning to have to spend at least half an hour to detach the glue from the windscreen....disgrace!!!!!
  The swimming pool, the sauna and the Turkish bath, although they are advertised on the brochure as all-day standard facilities of the hotel, they are open only for half an hour a day per room i.e. we find these facilities to be fully booked several times and consequently we were not able to use them.
  I would not recommend Les Cretes for absolutely any purpose.
  Last but not least, we were told that due to the fact that the hotel was not fully booked they decided to keep the restaurant closed i.e. no breakfast and no dinner was served.

  Just returned from a ski holiday in the Valais region. Great snow in all the resorts I visited but decided to visit an old favourite - Torgon and, in particular, Plan de Croix which lies adjacent to La Jorette. La Jorette is pretty small with only a couple of après-ski venues whilst Plan de Croix has just the one at the foot of the three lifts adjacent the sole car park. Both provide great access to the Portes du Soleil area. Whilst facilities are limited, Plain d Croix should not be overlooked. The restaurant is located at the foot of the three main ski lifts and, as you would expect, the main runs return here so it's ideally placed, especially if not everyone in your group wants to ski all day but you do - they can sit and enjoy the great views and still feel involved in the days activities.
