1650 Route du Bouchet, 74400 Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city center but easily accessible, L’Arveyron Open House offers a stay focused on relaxation and nature, with the peaks of Mont Blanc as a backdrop. The establishment combines an old history with a modern openness, blending mountain tradition with a spirit of sharing. From the moment you arrive, the setting is peaceful: a large wooden house by the river, surrounded by trees and bathed in the changing light of the seasons. A feeling of space and serenity naturally takes hold.
The 32 rooms are spread across the main building and its annex, designed to suit solo travelers, couples, or families. Each room has its own unique atmosphere, with carefully chosen furniture, warm tones, and, in some cases, a balcony overlooking the surrounding landscapes. The chalet spirit is omnipresent but not overdone. The focus is on comfort, brightness, and simplicity, with practical amenities such as fast Wi-Fi, a workspace, and a flat-screen TV.
Several categories are available to meet different needs, whether for a romantic getaway or an extended stay with children. Some rooms offer a direct view of the massif, while others provide a wooded perspective conducive to rest. High-quality bedding and the tranquility of the location promote restorative sleep, essential for those planning long days in the mountains.
The hotel fosters a lively and welcoming atmosphere, true to its "open house" spirit. Guests come not only to spend the night but also to dine, chat over a drink, or simply enjoy the inviting surroundings. The on-site restaurant, L’Arpitan, serves generous cuisine inspired by Alpine tradition, in a setting that extends the chalet spirit. The sunny terrace provides a pleasant spot for a relaxed lunch or an extended dinner during the warmer months.
To extend moments of relaxation, a spacious garden stretches out in front of the building, with shaded spots, a play area for children, and spaces to unwind in tranquility. A sauna complements the wellness offerings, perfect after a day of sports or simply for relaxation.
L’Arveyron Open House also welcomes travelers passing through. Whether arriving on foot, by bike, or by car, everything is designed to make the experience simple and seamless. Parking is free, a bus stop nearby connects to the ski lifts or the center of Chamonix, and the multilingual reception facilitates communication for visitors from afar.
Inside, the common areas reflect the venue's openness: a fireplace for winter evenings, a billiard table, reading corners, and a coworking space for those wishing to combine work with nature. The atmosphere remains relaxed and friendly, without formality, but with genuine attention to each guest.
In any season, the hotel serves as a practical starting point to discover the many faces of the Chamonix Valley. In winter, cross-country ski trails are accessible directly from the Bouchet forest, while alpine domains are easily reached by shuttle or car. In summer, hiking trails begin almost at the doorstep, winding through forests, pastures, and scenic viewpoints.
The reception provides useful information about local activities, whether it's organizing a mountain bike outing, renting ski equipment, or planning a day of climbing or paragliding. Partnerships with local rental companies even offer advantageous rates, especially for winter sports gear.
Whether traveling as a couple, with friends, or as a family, the peaceful atmosphere of L’Arveyron Open House invites you to slow down, breathe, and find a gentler rhythm. Far from the standards of a conventional hotel, the experience is based on connection, comfort, and the pleasure of taking your time.
You can start your days with a buffet breakfast served in the dining room or on the terrace, then spend your time as you wish between mountain exploration, garden breaks, or moments of rest in your room. Everything here seems designed to balance activity and relaxation, intimacy and conviviality.
By staying at L’Arveyron Open House, you remain just a few minutes from the center of Chamonix. There, you can stroll along its lively streets, explore mountain shops, or relax in a tea room facing the glaciers. The Alpine Museum, with its impressive collection of items related to the history of mountaineering, offers a culturally enriching and enjoyable break.
The Maison de la Mémoire et du Patrimoine, less well-known, also deserves a visit to better understand the valley's evolution. For a gourmet outing, several local spots stand out, such as La Caleche, renowned for its authentic Savoyard cuisine, or the more casual Bistrot des Sports.
If you're looking to gain some altitude, the Aiguille du Midi cable car will take you up to over 3800 meters, offering an impressive view of the Mont Blanc massif. From there, hikers can continue to the Vallée Blanche, while others descend to explore the Mer de Glace or the trails of Plan de l’Aiguille.
In summer, outdoor markets, open-air concerts, and mountain film festivals punctuate the local calendar. In the evening, Chamonix's center offers a lively mix of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, all quickly accessible from the hotel.
L’Arveyron Open House offers a balanced experience, blending a return to nature with proximity to city pleasures. A place to pause, rediscover the joy of simple things, and experience Chamonix at your own pace.
