This is a great two-star hotel (breakfast only - quiet bar) brilliantly located less than 100m from the foot of La Flegere so it's an easy walk even in boots. The Flegere ski area is wonderful for skiers up to good intermediate skill level, with easy access, short queues, a range of eateries and offering wonderful views of the Mt Blanc range to the south. The hotel is simple but very comfortable and cosy and a number of the rooms have balconies with incredible views of Mt Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi.

There are two ski hire shops close by which offer discounts to guests. The free bus stops right outside the hotel so access to the rest of the Chamonix Valley ski areas couldn't be easier. To top it off, there is a truly lovely tree-lined snowy walking trail between Les Praz and Chamonix central (25mins) which winds it's way along the banks of the River l'Arve and is well lit at night - a terrific way to ease those weary legs at the end of the day as you head into town to party.

If you don't want the nightlife, the Hotel Eden (50 metres walk) offers a really good restaurant with a fine wine list. Parking is easy at the Hotel Les Rhododendrons or the hotel staff can organise a pick up from Geneva.

Prices: 53 euros single, up to 118 euros for a quadruple room. Booking is easy, efficient and reliable using the web.

A friendly little gem in the centre of Chamonix. It contains all the facilities you could wish for in a small hotel - helpful staff, internet, summer terrace for sunny breakfasts overlooking Mont Blanc.
Rooms at the front have wonderful views towards aiguille du midi.

Tucked away just on the edge of town, this recently opened boutique hotel and member's bar has a great lounge bar that boasts the best cocktails in Chamonix. There's wireless broadband internet access and free tea and coffee for guests, and resident Chamonix DJ Scott Nixon plays a relaxed evening set once weekly.
