What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Guest rooms are comfortable and spacious, with views of the surrounding landscape, but they’re true to the place — this isn’t Paris, after all — decked out in blond wood and traditional printed fabrics.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Village shops and the Pléney ski lifts sit just steps from the front door.

The rooms
Blond wood and Savoyard prints line the rooms, and nearly all include fitted kitchenettes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool stays heated between 26°C and 30°C year-round, steaming against the winter snow.
Sauna and gym
An outdoor barrel sauna sits on the timber deck, and a wood-paneled fitness room catches daylight through attic skylights.
At the table
Children eat together at a dedicated communal table, and adults gather later for light suppers and regional wines.
How it began
Architect Claude Marullaz built the chalet in 1976 on land where Olympic downhill ski champion Jean Vuarnet grew up.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
