Overview
Le Refuge des Aiglons offers some of the best views in Chamonix. The mantra of the hotel is not only to offer a cozy bed and full minibar, but also a happy and lively atmosphere.
This modern and lively mountain lodge has 107 rooms decorated with the spirit of a mountain refuge.
The Deep Nature Spa at Le Refuge des Aiglons offers some fantastic facilities such as hot tub, sauna, steam room, hydro jet, relaxation and fitness room along with the massage and beauty treatment area. The heated outdoor pool is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the stunning views that Chamonix has to offer.
With the bus stop right outside the hotel, it takes the hassle away from getting to the slopes and the town centre is only a 500m stroll away. Easy to pop in for a few drinks or a bit of shopping.
For a quieter night, the lounge bar offers a great space to relax with comfortable sofas and fireplace or restaurant le A offers some delicious dishes without having to set foot outside. Guests can choose to have dinner in the lounge, at the bar, or in the restaurant. Breakfast is included and Flexiski guests can choose to upgrade to half board with informal dining including local specialities as well as other dishes to be shared like tapas.

View on map
Le Refuge of Aiglons is situated at the foot of the Midi summit and less than a 10 minute walk from the town centre. As with most hotels in Chamonix, the ski lifts are a few minutes away by bus – stops right outside. The hotel is also just 300m from the Aiguille du Midi cable car which leads to the highest summit in Chamonix for breath taking views of the surrounding Alps, or the start of the famous Vallee Blanche off-piste run.
