Hôtellerie du Roy

A family - run establishment that cultivates tradition, both in its restaurant, where the classics are served, and in the nicely old - fashioned guestrooms.

This spruce family-run business en route to the ski resorts is eminently welcoming. The several-course menu respects the seasons and showcases the cornucopia of excellent Savoyard produce. Cosy and fashionable, the interior also sports a warm rustic edge courtesy of a fireplace insert in the centre of the room. A lovely alfresco terrace adds to the establishment’s appeal.

In the Bauges Mountains, an unspoilt natural haven, this contemporary hotel has a lovely restaurant run by a young chef who has both technique and ideas. He throws himself into his work to get the best out of the Val d'Aillon terroir: vegetable garden, cooperative cheese, farm lamb, wild herbs... The menu changes regularly.
