Presentation

On the sunny heights of Chamonix, the Auberge du Bois Prin embodies the discreet elegance of a grand Savoyard chalet where the art of hospitality meets the authenticity of the mountains. This establishment offers a spectacular view of Mont Blanc, a natural scene that changes with the seasons and enhances every stay. Whether you are a winter sports enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking tranquility, this place invites you to a moment of pure escape.

Behind its traditional wooden facade, the inn reveals a cozy interior, combining noble materials and contemporary touches. With only thirteen rooms, the Auberge du Bois Prin maintains an exclusive character, away from the crowds. The rooms, ranging from Superior to Suites, are designed as warm cocoons: light wood meets stone in a soothing harmony, and each space is bathed in light thanks to large bay windows. All rooms have a balcony or private garden, where Mont Blanc reveals itself in all its splendor. It is a place to recharge after a day of exploring trails or slopes.

The rooms are distinguished by a sober and authentic luxury, designed to reflect the spirit of the mountains while offering modern comfort. In addition to carefully selected bedding, each accommodation is equipped with appreciated amenities: free Wi-Fi, satellite television, minibar, and in some rooms, a whirlpool bath for moments of private relaxation. The Junior Suites and Suites, in particular, offer generous space suitable for a romantic getaway or a family stay.

The Auberge du Bois Prin is also a sought-after culinary address in Chamonix, where Chef Emmanuel Renaut and his team craft a cuisine inspired by the region’s bounty. The restaurant offers a menu combining creativity and respect for the terroir, with tasty dishes such as reinvented tartiflette, hay-smoked pork ribs, or fresh fish from Alpine lakes. Many products come from the inn’s own garden, cultivated in harmony with the seasons. Savoring these dishes on the terrace with a view of Mont Blanc is an experience that leaves no one indifferent.

The breakfast served each morning is another joyful moment for residents. Whether you prefer the privacy of your room or the conviviality of the dining room, this meal offers an assortment of local products, fresh pastries, artisanal jams, and regional cheeses to start the day right.

In terms of wellness, the Auberge du Bois Prin provides a relaxation area designed for absolute rest. The sauna and outdoor hot bath, both oriented towards Mont Blanc, offer a unique experience where body and mind relax in front of the vastness of the mountains. A massage room is also available, allowing guests to book treatments after a day of intense activities, under the expert hands of attentive and professional staff.

The hotel team, led by Kristine and Emmanuel Renaut, is dedicated to offering attentive and discreet service. The multilingual staff, concierge service, and shuttle to Chamonix center make every moment easy and memorable. Only a ten-minute walk from the center and five minutes from the ski lifts, the inn is ideally located for those who want to explore the area while enjoying the tranquility of the heights.

The setting is also conducive to sensory escape throughout the seasons. In winter, enjoy the simple pleasure of warming up by the stove after a day of skiing. In summer, the terrace opens onto Mont Blanc, inviting you to contemplate and relax under the Alpine sun.
