High Altitude

Hotel Les Grands Montets Argentiere, near Chamonix One of the most attractive hotels in the Chamonix Valley, the Grands Montets has been lovingly refurbished to offer a charming, alpine atmosphere. Lots of old wood has been used in the renovation, coupled with attractive fabrics, antique chests and other Savoyard furniture. The bar/lounge area has a large, central open fireplace, big squashy sofas and a terrace. There is also a billiard table. The attractive pool is set beneath a beamed ceiling and incorporates a sauna, jacuzzi, gym and hamman in the same complex. There is also an outdoor hot tub. This five-star hotel is a haven of peace just off the centre of ChamonixMont-Blanc. Since 1903, the Carrier-Maillet family has been running this venerable institution of mountain hospitality. The rooms in the hotel's historic building and converted barns are full of character. The hotel also includes cosy chalets for families and groups of friends. It features both indoor and outdoor swimming pools overlooking Mont Blanc and a one-star Michelin-rated restaurant where new chef Damien Leveau follows in Pierre Maillet’s footsteps, drawing inspiration for his creativity from the cuisines of the Piedmont, Liguria and Savoy. This is the promise of an unforgettable stay in the heart of this grandiose natural setting which you can enjoy in any season. Le Hameau Albert 1er A member of Relais & Chateaux, Chamonix
