Overview
La Croix Blanche sits in the heart of Chamonix so it’s pretty quick to reach the lifts for skiing and getting out and about town is easy. Whether you’re bound for the iconic Aiguille du Midi or planning to ski down La Brévent, it’s just a 10-minute walk to either gondola from the hotel.
The hotel has been around for a while. Having first opened back in 1793, La Croix Blanche has a rich history and that’s reflected in its architecture. From the outside, the building perfectly matches the historic, cobbled streets of Chamonix. Inside, the decoration has been kept on the simple side, but there are a few more modern touches to be found.
One of these is the decoration of the hotel’s restaurant, L’M. There’s a strong alpine feel in here and that’s reinforced by the classic Savoyard cuisine on the menu. For the best experience though, you’ll want to head out onto the terrace – there’s a rich atmosphere and you can look up at Mont Blanc while you eat.

About Chamonix
Chamonix sits at the foot of Mont Blanc and is one of France’s oldest and most prestigious ski resorts, having hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924. While its 150km ski area is relatively small, it offers some of the most challenging terrain in the Alps, making it a top choice for experienced skiers. Highlights include the legendary 20km Vallée Blanche off-piste route and excellent intermediate skiing across areas such as Le Tour, Les Houches and Brévent-Flégère.
The town itself is cosmopolitan and historic, with pedestrian streets lined with Savoyard buildings, Art Deco architecture and specialist ski shops. Après-ski is lively, with plenty of live music venues and cocktail bars.
Chamonix is also a hub for mountain adventures beyond skiing, from ice caves and spas to the iconic Aiguille du Midi. At 3,842m, its viewing platform offers breathtaking views, while the “Step into the Void” glass box provides a thrilling experience suspended above the mountains.
