Family-run alpine chalet
The Sauvajon family runs the chalet with quiet ease, balancing days on the slopes with dinners at Michelin-starred Asterales.

Generational Vercors hospitality from a family hosting mountain travelers since the 1930s.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms are cozy and simple, lined in knotty wood, with large windows facing the surrounding woods, and many have bathtubs and private terraces.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
An 18-hole golf course sits next door, and trails lead straight into Vercors Regional Natural Park.
The rooms
Timber-clad interiors open to private balconies and mountain views, with multi-level duplex layouts and wood-burning stoves in select suites.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated pool sits out on a wooden sundeck, surrounded by pines and looking toward the mountains.
The whirlpool
A sunken whirlpool sits in the wood-clad pavilion, looking through picture windows onto the pine forest.
At the table
Chef Ludovic Nardozza cooks seasonal mountain produce in the wood-paneled dining room, which opens onto the terrace in summer.
How it began
In the 1930s, passing lumberjacks and skiers knocked on the original farmhouse door asking for shelter and a hot meal.
