Chamois d'Or, Les Gets, French Alps - Explore & Book

"Stroll up to the stylish entrance of this 26-room boutique hotel, located plum on the main street of Les Gets, and you might think an ice-cool haven awaits within. But as soon as you step over the threshold into the quirkily decorated reception area, you're greeted by hugely friendly and informal staff who make the place unforgettably welcoming. Chamois d’Or does, in fact, feel more like a big shared chalet than a hotel. Mostly British guests – including honeymoon couples, groups of friends and families with teenage children –mingle and chat between the reception area, which doubles as a lounge, and the wood-clad residents' bar. The laid-back, relaxed culture stems from hands-on owner Peter, who hails from Plymouth but is based in Les Gets – and whose genuine pleasure seems to be for everyone to have a really fun time. As for Les Gets itself, this charming French village sits on the fringes of Portes du Soleil, a vast 650km of slopes. Skiing heaven in winter; cycling heaven in summer. Highs A refreshingly affordable option in the infamously expensive French Alps Cocktails in the bar – don’t miss the extremely potent Margaritas! Guests get reduced rates to access the basement spa, a charming offering with 2 treatment rooms, pool, Jacuzzi and sauna A good range of room types: romantic doubles, Triples/Quads and a self-catering Penthouse sleeping 8-10 Lows Staff tend to be seasonal and the service is enthusiastic rather than faultlessly professional, but that adds to its charm No onsite restaurant, but there are plenty of dining options nearby You need to book ahead for access to the spa Not all rooms look out onto the slopes; we had a view of the car park" - Belinda Archer

"From the front door of Au Chamois d’Or, you can glide down to the nearby ski lift to access the longest black run in Europe — or in summer, simply walk across the street to catch a ride up to hiking trails, deep blue lakes, and hairpin roads featured in the Tour de France. And as impressive as the setting may be, this historic luxury hotel offers plenty more, including an excellent restaurant with terrace seating, a cozy fireplace bar, a relaxation area with a heated pool and sauna, and a Nuxe spa." - Tablet Hotels
