NICE TO KNOW

Originally a farmhouse, Chalet 1864 had a history dating back 100 years. The farmhouse, built in 1864, was renovated into luxury accommodation while respecting the authentic structures.

About the rooms

All rooms have been carefully renovated and thoughtfully decorated in a typical style, with lots of wood and details from the region. The French Alps come alive here in a warm mix of cosiness, charm and luxury. In fact, each room has a Bose sound system to relax with your favourite music. Le Labo toiletries products are provided in the bathroom.

Our favourite room

We think the 'Grande Chambre du Charvin' is the perfect accommodation in the Alps. Located in the building with views over the Alps, you will find complete relaxation here. From bed it is even possible to watch a family of deer hopping by. The big difference from other rooms is the private terrace. As well as the possibility of connecting the room with the smaller Chambre du Charvin, ideal for families.

Enjoy a refreshing swim

After a brisk walk or ski trip, you can relax in the stables converted into a spa. You'll find a sauna, swimming pool, massage room and outdoor jacuzzi heated to 38°C in winter.

Work out and wind down

In summer, you are in the perfect place for a hike through the mountains, in addition, there are plenty of activities available such as climbing, paragliding, mountain biking, via Ferrata or a balloon ride. A guided hike, climbing courses, glacier walks or climbing Mont Blanc, it can all be organised by the hotel. In winter, you can hit the slopes less than 5 km from the chalet, in the chalet you will also find a ski storage room. The manager of Chalet 1864 will be happy to take you to the ski slopes!

Children

Room 'Le Mazot' has an attached children's room but otherwise there are few children's facilities. The hotel is less suitable for staying with small children.
