Hotel La Folie Douce, Chamonix, France

WHAT IS LA FOLIE DOUCE?

La Folie Douce is a family story that has been delighting taste buds and putting stars in the eyes of all generations since 1969. It's through strong values that the concept appeals: originality, freedom and a thirst for authenticity. La Folie Douce's philosophy is to combine the pleasures of generous mountain cuisine with the festive, spectacular atmosphere of a cabaret.

Democratize a former snow palace and turn it into a vibrant hotel? That's the crazy idea behind La Folie Douce Hotels Chamonix, a hybrid and unifying concept. Intergenerational, festive and gourmet, this extraordinary hotel reinvents Chamonix as a year-round destination.

THE TEMPLE OF GASTRONOMY - At La Folie Douce Hôtels Chamonix, there's never a dull moment at the table. To vary the pleasures and menus, the hotel offers four restaurants to suit all taste buds!

LE MAYEN - In this chalet-style restaurant, cheese is the star of the show. On the menu: raclettes and anthology fondues.

LA PETITE CUISINE - A warm, gourmet spirit! The wide-open kitchen shows a team happy to please, and the à la carte dishes reflect the notion of comfort food from starter to dessert. Six days a week, we invite you to join us at the table, and the show sets the dinner party alight!

LA PIAZZA - If you're in a hurry, there are pizzas to take away and stuff on the terrace, with a spritz in hand and a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc.

LE JANSSEN - The perfect place for a summit meeting: divine cocktails, cosy canapés and the rhythm of artistic strolls take the evening up a notch. The highlight? A panoramic view of the peaks and Mont Blanc.
