Our Best Ski Weekend Hotels in Chamonix

Chamonix is a prime resort for weekend skiing. Just 88km from Geneva, it’s incredibly easy to reach and well served by buses and trains.

  • The Hotel Eden is a budget best ski weekend hotel base, close to the lifts, and with a Michelin recommended restaurant.
  • If your budget is a bit bigger consider the Auberge du Bois Prin, an unpretentious and traditional establishment with Michelin starred dining and exceptional views over Mont Blanc.
  • At the larger budget end of the scale there’s Le Hameau Albert 1er, featuring both contemporary and classic styled accommodation, a gorgeous spa and two Michelin starred restaurant.
  • Midway between Chamonix and Argentiere, so slightly harder to get to, the Jeu de Paume will be worth the extra ten minutes travel if your idea of the best ski weekend hotels includes chic, Parisian style luxury and excellent food.

Verbier may not be as close to Geneva as Chamonix and Megéve, but it is still easily accessible for a ski weekend. Especially if you like to party after a day on the piste.
