Chalet Mounier is a family affair. It began with Marie and Hippolyte Mounier, who opened this hotel – the first in the resort – in 1933.

In a small, cosy dining room conducive to intimate conversations, diners get to enjoy intelligent modern cuisine combining a rigorously selected range of ingredients and a strong emphasis on the vegetable component.
