Odalys Prestige Le Chamois

Walking up to Hotel Odalys Prestige Le Chamois is akin to walking directly into a postcard. It’s picture perfect; no artist could have painted a finer rendition of a snowy mountain scene. Snow-capped mountains rise up around the hotel, dotted intermittently with log cabins, and topped with forest green-trees. It’s the textbook definition of a French alpine retreat that’s come to life and is open for business.

Unusually, this ski resort is as delightful in summer as in winter. La Clusaz is charming and quaint year-round, with weekly markets, quirky stores, and bars and restaurants as busy with paragliders in summer as with skiers in winter. The Hotel Odalys Prestige Le Chamois, only a five minutes’ walk from the centre of La Clusaz, affords you easy access to all of these amenities, as well as immediate proximity to the ski lifts taking you to the slopes.

Once you catch your breath and turn from the scenery, the Hotel Odalys Prestige Le Chamois is a fitting accompaniment to the picture. South-facing, so as to ensure the maximum possible exposure to both the sun and the stunning views, the hotel is built in the Savoy region’s characteristic architectural style; large chalets of pine wood and stone, balconies and terraces wrapping the sides. Inside, more of the same- while nothing will drag your eyes from the phenomenal vista seen from the balconies, the rooms still try their best… modern and minimalist, the rooms are decorated with natural woods, soft plush throws and furnishings, all designed to complement the views, rather than distract from them.
