And all year round it is the insurance to be received in a comfortable chalet, with garden, covered swimming pool, hammam, sauna, whirlpool, massages… Decorated in Savoyard style by Claude and Nathalie Trincaz, the 36 rooms are comfortable, comfortable and equipped with modern facilities - flat screen TV and alarm clock with a welcome station for Ipod and Iphone. Children are received in great princes and a superb space is dedicated to them.

These achievements are rich in aromas of flavours and perfumes, and blend with the authenticity of local products. Breakfast is also of high quality, and it is a pleasure to enjoy a white white cheese with mountain honey or homemade jams. The decoration of this house disperse here and there small winks of the surrounding mountains.

A unique family address, as you would like to find more often… for which new distinctions should be invented.
