Jiva hill resort
Mountain-view balconies over a resort built to linger in
About this hotel
Jiva hill resort operates at a different scale than the rest of Lelex-Crozet's lodging, a five-star property with its own golf course laid out beneath the Jura ridge and mountain-view balconies in the guest rooms themselves. The spa runs to pools, a hot tub and a fitness center, well beyond the single sauna found at the area's smaller B&Bs, and the on-site restaurant with room service means a guest could reasonably not leave the property for an entire evening. Airport shuttle service and pet-friendly rooms extend the resort's reach to travelers who might otherwise skip a Jura stay for logistics reasons. It is closer to a destination resort than a ski-village stopover, built for a trip measured in days.
- Mountain-view balconies
- Golf course
- Full spa & pools
- Airport shuttle
Our take
This suits travelers who want a full resort experience layered onto a Jura ski trip, spa, golf and mountain views included, rather than a quick weekend at a village inn. Couples and families both find something here, from the balcony rooms to the pet-friendly policy. Skiers expecting the five-star setting to come with steeper alpine terrain should recalibrate, since the ski domain itself stays the same family-elevation Monts Jura terrain everyone else skis.
- Request a balcony room specifically when booking, it is the most consistently praised feature and not guaranteed on every room type.
- Use the airport shuttle if flying in, it cuts out a layer of the long taxi transfers this area typically involves.
- Book at least one dinner in the on-site restaurant, it lets you skip the drive back from Crozet after an evening spa session.
Why we love it
- Mountain-view balconies in every room

Why guests love itJiva Hill Resort is a five-star at Lelex-Crozet with a golf course, a full spa with pools and mountain-view balconies, and I would choose it for families planning a longer stay rather than a quick ski weekend. The pools give children plenty to do off the slopes, the on-site restaurant saves searching for dinner, and pets are accepted. An airport shuttle simplifies arrival. Guests rate it 9.2 across 1,003 reviews. The skiing here is on Jura terrain, not high Alpine slopes.
