Chalet - Hôtel Hermitage, The Originals Relais

“Great hotel and very welcoming”

Hotel Hermitage is a lovely, family-owned hotel and the rooms are clean and decorated in traditional alpine style with lots of wood.

Hotel Hermitage is a lovely, family-owned hotel and the rooms are clean and decorated in traditional alpine style with lots of wood. Excellently located, just 5 mins from the centre but on a quiet street and a ski bus stop a couple of minutes away. We had a super room on the top (3rd) floor which was very quiet with little external or internal noise. The staff were superb and could not have been more helpful in booking restaurants and advising on what to see and do. The hotel does not have a restaurant itself but there is a good list of local eateries and the staff can recommend the best one’s, according to your taste. Breakfast was a little disappointing, minimal cooked options or fruit, but with a large selection of bread and croissants. Tea and cakes were available after a hard day’s skiing but were not free.

We booked this hotel months ago and it exceeded all our expectations! Located 5 min from the train station in a wonderful setting with jacuzzi, small pool and saunas to enjoy. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Claire, at the front desk in the evening, was very helpful with hiking information, making dinner reservations for us at wonderful restaurants and full of enthusiasm for the area. Emilia during the day was great and Junko (sp?) in the breakfast room was also helpful with hiking information and friendly smiles. Great experience!

The Chalet Hotel Hermitage Paccard is pretty darn close to perfection. This was our second stay at the hotel and even more lovely than we remembered. Location is a short walk from the train station, but away from the crowds on a quiet street. We had a suite with wrap around balcony and mountain views from every angle. Warm woods and crisp white bedding gave an air of elegance to our room. The garden has been expanded since our last visit and it was a treat. After our hikes we would relax on contoured lounges (my favorite spot was under a big weeping tree) where we fell asleep on more than one occasion. We enjoyed food and drink served in the garden and it was all excellent. My favorite was a red berry salad with dried meat and cheese--delicious! The hotel is family owned and the attention to detail is evident throughout the property. Every day we saw the owner tidying up the garden or someone precisely tying the bows on the chair cushions. Highly recommend the Hermitage and hope to visit again!
