Why guests love itStaying up in Le Lavancher meant a short drive into Chamonix each morning, but the calm and the views made it worth it. The kids lived in the indoor pool while we took turns in the hammam, sauna and hot tub after skiing. Our larger room had a balneotherapy bath, a real treat after cold days, and the ski storage kept boots and gear sorted. Free Wi-Fi kept everyone happy in the evenings.
