Le Chabichou

Savoie


Washed as white as the goat's cheese for which it is named, this handsome, slopeside hotel and spa manages to quietly blend modern amenities with wood-panelled charm throughout its public areas and 41 tasteful rooms. There's a six-night minimum stay during the ski season.

Parking costs an extra €30.
