Bois Joly
Six minutes' walk from the Crozet gondola
About this hotel
Bois Joly puts guests closer to the lift than almost any other property in this guide, a six-minute walk to the Crozet gondola, known locally as telecabine Fierney, that turns a ski morning into a short stroll rather than a taxi ride. The informal restaurant and terrace suit a relaxed evening after skiing, and the bar adds a casual social space without the formality of La Mainaz's piano bar across the area. Free breakfast, parking and pet-friendly rooms round out a straightforward three-star stay built for skiers who want to be near the lift without paying for a five-star setting to get there. The bar and terrace together give guests a reason to stay on site after skiing rather than seeking out another restaurant in Crozet, keeping the whole day, lift to dinner, within a short walk.

Our take
This suits skiers who want to be genuinely close to the Crozet gondola without a long transfer each morning, and who are happy with a casual, three-star atmosphere over resort polish. It is a strong pick for pet owners wanting lift proximity. Guests wanting formal dining or a piano bar evening should look toward La Mainaz Chalet Hotel Restaurant instead.
- Walk to the gondola rather than driving, six minutes on foot beats hunting for parking near the lift base.
- Eat on the terrace when weather allows, it is the property's most distinctive feature over a standard dining room.
- Bring your dog along for the walk to the lift, the property's pet-friendly and accessible tags make it a practical base.

Why guests love itWe booked Bois Joly for one reason: the six-minute walk to the Crozet gondola, and it made our mornings so easy. The informal restaurant and terrace kept things relaxed rather than polished, which suited us far better than a piano bar evening. We cared more about getting on the slopes early than resort extras, and with our dog along, the casual, accessible setup worked as a practical everyday base rather than an occasional treat.
