The best accommodations La Chapelle-D'Abondance

One of the finest chalets-hotels in the Chapel-d'Abondance, certified «Hotels Chalets of Tradition», which acts as a true jewel in this mountain landscape, is the Portes du Soleil. Summer is an ocean of flowers and greenery, and winter, a white coat that offers the guarantee to take full advantage of the joy of glisse. And all year round it is the insurance to be received in a comfortable chalet, with garden, covered swimming pool, hammam, sauna, whirlpool, massages… Decorated in Savoyard style by Claude and Nathalie Trincaz, the 36 rooms are comfortable, comfortable and equipped with modern facilities - flat screen TV and alarm clock with a welcome station for Ipod and Iphone. Children are received in great princes and a superb space is dedicated to them. The charm, refinement and conviviality also invite you to the table of Claude Trincaz who is also the chef of the kitchen. Caring, inventive, its dishes defy all the photographs of a heavy and indigestible mountain cuisine. These achievements are rich in aromas of flavours and perfumes, and blend with the authenticity of local products. Breakfast is also of high quality, and it is a pleasure to enjoy a white white cheese with mountain honey or homemade jams. The decoration of this house disperse here and there small winks of the surrounding mountains. The first floor refers to the mountain trades, the second to alpine flowers, the third to alpine animals and the fourth to altitude sports. And if you're lost, you get back to the elevator! A unique family address, as you would like to find more often… for which new distinctions should be invented.

The family farm of the Trincaz was transformed into a hostel since 1894 and since then five generations of hotels have succeeded Macaroni hotel. The result is constant expansion and new developments such as the relaxation area with swimming pool and spa, and more recently the Farm of Grandpa Gaby renovated to become a place of reception with museum. The rooms are in the image of this heritage history, their Savoyard style with carved wood, wall wall painted walls and colours in colour, red and white. They offer a splendid panorama of the famous Macaroni de Bise, the massif that gives its name to the ancestral hotel. The restaurant has excellent value for money with gourmet specialities such as this foie gras of duck and goose in salad (green beans, artichokes and fig compote), this tournedos to the morels or the filet net of the ceps and risotto but also traditional local dishes. A land that can be found in the original care with milk bath and relaxation on bed of apricot grasses. Unique!

In a farm still active - breeding the famous cows of Abundance - the good products at the table d'hôte take advantage of beautiful rooms in this large quiet chalet near the cross-country ski slopes.
