• 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.
