Le Jeu de Paume
Le Lavancher, France
Le Jeu de Paume occupies a timber chalet in Le Lavancher, a small hamlet away from central Chamonix. Wood-lined rooms, reading lounges and a bar with billiards give it a relaxed mountain-house atmosphere. The spa combines an indoor pool with sauna, hammam and indoor and outdoor hot tubs. Le Rosebud provides dinner on site, and summer walking routes start nearby. It is a strong choice for travellers who value quiet surroundings and are happy to travel into town.
