Hotel le Cristal Lodge, Serre Chevalier

Cristal Lodge in Chantemerle embraces “alpine simplicity,” with a minimalist style that blends natural wood, stone, and classic chalet architecture. Quirky design touches like disco balls in the lobby and a neon table football table add a playful contrast to its otherwise calm, contemporary feel.

Located in one of Serre Chevalier’s main villages, it’s just a short walk to the chairlift and ski school, making it easy to get on the slopes each morning and return quickly in the afternoon.

After skiing, guests can unwind in the wellness area featuring a hot tub, sauna, and steam room, relax in cosy lounge spaces by the fire, or head to the bar for a vin chaud. The restaurant serves traditional Savoyard dishes, with breakfast included and the option of à la carte dining in the evening or exploring local restaurants in town.
