Built by a Parisian who fell in love with the location overlooking Mont Blanc in the Alps of Cordon-Combloux-Megève in the south-eastern part of France, this exquisitely designed chalet is a home-from-home for many of its guests who return year after year, leaving their ski equipment behind to use time and again. It’s located close (just 3km) to Cordon, known as ‘the balcony of Mont Blanc’, as well as the villages of Combloux and prestigious Megève.
A stay here includes a pair of comfortable slippers to relax in, a personal welcome in your private chalet, a lovely spa to relax in after a day full of activities, a cosy fireplace to ward off the winter chill, traditional mountain dishes served in the restaurants, and movies to enjoy in the hotel theater. Come summer there’s a heated pool facing magnificent Mont Blanc, and year-round you can enjoy breathtaking mountain views from your balcony.
Add a choice of amenities including yoga, a hot tub, sauna and Hammam, facilities that include a lounge, bar and after-hours honesty bar, and you have an intimate chalet experience complete with plenty of Apres-ski indulgence. This stunning little boutique hotel is designed as a typical Alpine chalet; it boasts just 11 rooms that are simply, beautifully and comfortably furnished with antiques, old books and works of Savoyard folk art. There’s also a Junior Suite that features a lounge, fireplace, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garden and a swimming pool.
The chalet/hotel is ideally located in the Mont Blanc region, close to the village of Combloux and ski lifts, making it the ideal base from which to enjoy the various ski runs on offer. The views from the hotel of Mont Blanc covered in snow are breathtaking.
Dining at Le Cerf Amoreux is popular with guests and locals alike, who come here to enjoy traditional and French dishes created from seasonal local organic produce. Guests can also dine in the privacy of their rooms as there is room service at selected times during the day.
