The Nordic sits right at the foot of El Tarter's slopes for ski-in ski-out convenience and is also just a stone's throw from the lifts. 

When you first walk into the Hotel Nordic, you'll be greeted by a stunning collection of vintage cars and motorbikes. Beyond a 1920s Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, you'll find an impressive atrium with glass roof and comfortable seating – ideal for using the free Wi-Fi and catching up at the end of the day.

The hotel's wellness facilities are free to all guests and include an indoor pool, hot tub and steam room. There's also a fitness room if you feel like you want to fit in some exercise that isn't purely based on the mountain!
