Overview: hotel description: Hotel Folie Douce description

Located in the famous Palace of Chamonix, the hotel looks over the heart of town, with everything you need on your doorstep. It’s ski-in, ski-out, and the Savoy lift is only metres away, so you’ll be up in the Brévent-Flégère ski area in no time at all. Or, if you’re a beginner, the hotel shuttle will zip you to your lessons.

After skiing, head back to enjoy four hours of non-stop après from 4-8pm every single day at the After Mountain Party Bar, with singers, dancers and DJs. For something a little more low-key, try one of the delicious cocktails at Bar Janssen.

It’s not all about partying though. The 640m² spa offers you the chance to relax after a day on the mountain. Warm up in the sauna or steam room, or join in a yoga lesson in the Zen room. If you’re more the outdoorsy type, there’s an incredible outdoor pool offering stunning views of the Mont Blanc – which is free for everyone. And the hotel runs its own kids’ club with a range of indoor and outdoor activities like film nights and snowman building.

There’s a buffet spread to set you up each morning, and in the evening, take your pick from four top-notch à la carte restaurants based right in the hotel. La Petite Cuisine is a fave for French-style dishes from cassoulets to crêpes, La Fruitière does fine dining to a T, while Le Mayen is all about mountain classics, like fondue and raclette – and the crispy pizzas in La Piazza are bound to be a crowd-pleaser too.
