Auberge Nemoz
A garden guesthouse with its own trout pond
About this hotel
Auberge Nemoz trades ski-lift proximity for a genuinely rural setting: a garden property with its own trout pond and stables, five minutes' walk from Gite of Martinette and eight from La Martinette itself. The hot tub and spa give the property a wellness angle that most guesthouses this size don't attempt, and the restaurant and bar downstairs cover most evenings without needing to drive anywhere. This works best as a countryside retreat within the wider Belledonne foothills, a place to unwind rather than a base built around the shortest possible walk to the Les Sept Laux pistes. Dogs are welcome throughout, fitting naturally with a property that already keeps horses.

Our take
This suits travelers who want a rural guesthouse with genuine character, a hot tub and a spa, and who don't mind driving to reach the Les Sept Laux lifts. The trout pond and stables add a countryside charm that resort hotels can't replicate. Anyone prioritizing a short walk to the pistes each morning should book a Prapoutel or Pipay address instead.
- Ask about the stables if traveling with kids, seeing the horses is a highlight most guests don't expect
- Book the spa or hot tub slot in advance during busy weekends, it's a small property
- Plan the drive to Les Sept Laux the night before, this sits in the Belledonne foothills, not at the lifts

Why guests love itWe booked Auberge Nemoz expecting a simple guesthouse and were surprised by how much character the trout pond and stables added to the stay. It isn't close to the Les Sept Laux lifts, and we planned our ski days around that extra drive time from the start. The hot tub in the evening became the highlight of most days, and the kids talked about the stables more than they talked about skiing by the end of the week.
