Overview

The Hotel Lyret in Chamonix makes a great base for a laid-back ski holiday in this world-famous resort. The Le Brévent ski area’s a short bus ride away after a stroll to the central stop. And as for the town – full of lively bars and restaurants – it's just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel’s front doors. When you're done exploring, chill out in the sauna or steam room and recharge the legs for another ski day.

It's classic alpine looks-wise, with wood-panelled walls set against a backdrop of snow-dusted pines. Inside, there’s a playful touch – imagine tree pillars with faces – and rooms that mix rustic wood with soft, calming colours. They’re simple but comfy, and you’ll wake up to views of either the Aiguille du Midi peak or Mont Blanc mountain each morning.

Fuel up with a breakfast buffet – think fresh pastries, some hot options like bacon and all the Continental classics. Come evening, the lounge-bar's a great hangout. Sink into a striped sofa, sip a cocktail and swap stories about your day on the slopes.

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.
