2* La
Chaumière is a friendly hotel which is
extremely popular with its guests. We all
love the traditional catered chalet but
know the limitations are generally weekly
stays. This hotel is the closest you will
get to a catered chalet, which is totally
flexible. You may arrive and depart any
day you like, subject to availability.
The
realisation of La Chaumière Mountain
Lodge is the culmination of a family
dream. We have a long history of managing
hotels and restaurants across Europe and
our unique experience and expertise has
enabled us to create this home from home
in the heart of the Chamonix Valley.
Following a refurbishment programme, La
Chaumière continues to have the sporty
and relaxed atmosphere developed by its
former owners, but now has a fresh
Scandinavian touch!
There
are 25 rooms, all with ensuite shower,
basin and loo and spectacular views of
Mont Blanc or Brevent. We have spacious
double and twin rooms as well as three or
four bed rooms for families or other small
groups and many have their own
balconies.The large windows give a very
light and airy feel throughout. We offer
you a free WiFi access in all hotel rooms
and public areas.
La
Chaumière is a 10-15 minute stroll into
the centre of town and just minutes from
the pretty lake and climbing crag of
"Les Gaillands".
There is a bus and train stop only 50
metres from the hotel. The sunny garden
and terrace overlook the Mont Blanc and
there is off-road parking.
Excellent
food is a central part of our concept. Our
menu offers international classics with a
local Savoyard touch. Our half board
package includes a generous breakfast
buffet and three course dinners. During
the high season we also serve à la carte
and take away lunches. Breakfast is not
just about refueling for the day's
activities, its also a chance to plan and
organise! On that note, we will be happy
to inform you about the day's weather
forecast and to give you some suggestions
for hiking, choosing the ski-area or
anything else that might be of interest.
Half
board is totally hassle free, there is no
rush or stress involved in booking tables
after a long day in the mountains. The
bread at La Chaumière is delivered daily
by the local boulangerie and our salads
and herbs come fresh from the market. Main
courses and desserts are all locally
sourced and cooked to the highest
standards. Our menus are complimented by
our excellent wine list which offers a
range of elegant French and Italian wines.
The
relaxed Bar area offers everything from
après ski through to aperitif and
digestive! It is a comfortable, welcoming
room that also serves as the living room
for our hotel and external guests. It is
the perfect place to unwind after a long
day in the mountains. Here, you can share
your stories, browse through our library
of books and games, or simply, sit back
and enjoy the views over a well-earned
drink.
To be
able to ski on the last day, having had to
check out of your room, there is a shower
room for your use and the hotel will store
your luggage.
The
helpful and friendly staff can give you
daily advice about ski conditions in the
winter, hiking and mountaineering in the
summer. Daily and detailed weather
forecasts are also available at the
reception. |
