The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
We have excellent acess to the slopes, plus the resorts of Morzine, Les Gets and Chamonix are within easy reach. The village is small and quiet with lovely views of the Giffre valley and Grand Massif opposite. There is a footpath that leads down from the hotel to the valley below.
Nearby is the traditional Savoyard village of Samoëns offering shops, bars restaurants and high speed access to the ski area with the new Grand Massif express gondola. Samoëns is the only ski resort to be inside a French National Park. Traditional Savoyarde dishes such as cheese fondue or tartiflette feature on our menu.
