There is a good choice of room types and sizes, all have a twin or double beds with TV and most also have a balcony. Some of the rooms can be combined with a seating area to make a suite, offering extra sleeping space on a sofa bed. Super-Suites can also be created for groups of 12 looking for take advantage of all the amenities of a luxury hotel and the privacy of a sole occupancy ski chalet.
No chalet hotel of this quality would be complete without a spa area and Le Savoie doesn’t disappoint. Boasting a small indoor pool, whirlpools, two saunas, a steam room and a relaxation area too.

Our opinion
Sure to be a hit, this property combines top quality accomodation and good value for money too.
Chalet Hotels serve dinners six nights per week which include three courses, some of which offer a choice of menu at the buffet including a vegetarian option for each course.
The one staff day off gives you a fantastic opportunity to experience some local restaurants and cuisine, speak to your resort representative for recommendations and help with reservations.
BREAKFAST
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so the team provide both a hot option, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On the staff’s day(s) off, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
PISTE PICNICS
Chalet Hotels can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For skiers keen to keep their Euro-spending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!
AFTERNOON TEA
The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s day(s) off. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready.

OUR QUALITY WINES
The wine selection combines crisp and fruity whites with medium to full bodied reds, for a variety of palates. In the Chalet Hotels we also offer an additional light fresh rosé to our guests’ choice. The wines are selected in conjunction with our good friends Nicolas and Véronique – the third generation in the Perret family’s fine wine business based in the Savoie. Nicolas is a qualified wine expert, having trained at the prestigious Burgundy Wine University in Beaune. Each season in October, Nicolas & Véronique bring over a new selection for us to sample (someone has to do it!) and together we choose our wines for the coming season, based on our menus and their pure enjoyment factor. Wine is an incredibly subjective and emotive subject, however the feedback we have received from our guests over recent seasons endorses our aims of providing wines to enhance your meal and to suit most tastes.
