What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Les Gets village sits downhill, and the Chavannes Express lift is five hundred metres away for days in the Portes du Soleil.
The rooms
Alpine timber lines the walls, and every room opens onto a private balcony looking across the valley.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 10-metre indoor pool is fitted with back-massage jets, set beneath timber ceilings looking out at the snow.
The sauna
A timber sauna sits behind glass doors, just across from a dark-stone sensory shower with an overhead drench bucket.
The spa
The relaxation room glows pink before a Himalayan salt wall, and treatments use Pure Altitude alpine botanicals.
At the table
Breakfast is served on a glazed terrace overlooking the pastures, and Le Bacchus pours regional wines at its timber bar.
How it began
The Bouchet family opened the chalet in 1983, and their second generation now heats it using geothermal energy.
