The best hotels Chamonix-Mont Blanc

An unusual experience on the roof of Europe! Set in the Mont-Blanc massif, on the magnificent site of Montenvers, a superb high-altitude refuge hotel: Snow Terminal of the Savoyard group Sibuet. A few steps from the Mer de Glace, the great historic hotel of 1880 has been transformed into a contemporary hotel that does not deny anything of the past. Twenty rooms, suites and dormitories pay tribute to the history of the Montenvers site and the Mer de Glace that made Chamonix famous in the 19th century. Opened in July 2017, Terminal neige successfully follows the codes of the historic Montenvers refuge, while providing the great comfort necessary to attract an international clientele. Once past the entrance of the granite building with its sober facade, pierced by small windows with red and white shutters giving a view of either the Mer de Glace or the Drus or the Grandes Jorasses, the dark wood decoration energized by a few red touches, symbol of the Savoyard flag, the objects found reminding us of the end of the 19th century and the adventure trips, as well as the warm tones of the flannel fabrics, and leather, make the visitor succumb. We plunge into another time for an extraordinary journey, an unprecedented adventure. In the area, the Refuge du Montenvers restaurant with its mountain cuisine offers a delicious meal of poultry on a spit or a traditional fondue

Yesterday a barn, today a beautiful hotel, completely renovated from the ground to the ceiling and in the smallest detail in an environmental approach. Friendliness, authenticity and comfort are the watchwords of this chic and traditional hotel at a time. The!, the Personnalisée, the Drus, the Drus, the Aiguille, the Drus, the Drus and the Aiguille are all very close to the heart of Chamonix. The traditional decoration with its wood and white bedding, and the white one, cleverly integrates the flat screen of which you can still take the view. The bathrooms are looking and perfectly equipped. A small amount on the terrace or in the garden in the summer - with a jacuzzi planted right towards Mont Blanc! - or in the living room at the corner of kranichbar wood fire; there is no doubt, we feel good. The spacious dining room which welcomes us for breakfast stays in the same tones as the rooms: wood colour, nappée of cream and red keys. There is no doubt that we are pleasantly located in the calm and comfort of a beautiful establishment, which we welcome the exemplary renovation.

It is recognized in its facade, which is a wall fresco in honor of a couple of Chamonians, and its blue shutters. Its toponymic name of "lanchers" means a mountain steep mountain corridor. There is nothing like this in the small hamlet of the Praz, five minutes walking from Chamonix by walking along the Arve, where you rediscover the mountain and conviviality by enjoying the joys of skiing and hiking. The Flégère cable car is 450 meters away. This charming family-run establishment is held by a friendly Franco-English couple, supported by a dynamic team. Inside the hotel you will enjoy comfortable and carefully furnished rooms, renovated in 2014 and some built in 2011 in the adjacent extension. If possible, one can be booked with a balcony directly on Mont Blanc. The lounge bar, but also the «après-ski» snack - sweet and hot drinks - relax in the sauna, and, of course, the Rendez-vous restaurant which offers French tradition cuisine… a good address, both simple and warm, just a few steps from Chamonix golf course.

Atypical! In front of the cable car station to reach the top of the aiguille du Midi, an elegant hotel that will not fail to attract an international clientele to the assault of the mythical Mont-Blanc. L'Héliopic is organized around a 500 ^m2 spa, in two four-storey buildings that look like large chalets. The design is inspired by the 60's with a predominance of stone and wood but also warm colours and comfortable materials for a cosy atmosphere. The decoration of the rooms gives pride of place to natural and cosy fabrics, with relaxing tones for a comforting stay. The property is original, with its building overlooking a ground floor with 1,800 ^{m2 of} shops. Two restaurants - one of which offers an inventive cuisine based on fresh and quality products: Akashon, run by chef Julien Binet -, 102 rooms from 20 to 40 ^m2, four seminar rooms, a swimming pool, a hammam, an ice cave and a sauna, a relaxation area with fireplace, a ski shop, a reception point for high mountain guides and ski instructors... Everything is planned for groups who enjoy sports trips! The design of the High Tech spa favours the "minerality" of the lauze and raw materials for its spaces from which one can admire the view of the Mont-Blanc massif.
