Aubergerie, une auberge de terroir et des chambres d'hôtes entre Grenoble et Chambery.
A 17th-century farmhouse between two cities
About this hotel
This aubergerie has stood between Grenoble and Chambéry since the 17th century, long before either the Les Sept Laux lifts or the motorway that now runs nearby, and the building still carries that history in its stonework and its warmly decorated rooms. The restaurant leans toward regional terroir cooking, the kind of hearty, unfussy food that suits a cold evening better than anything plated for a photograph. Camorel sits three minutes' walk away. Dogs are welcome, and the whole property has the feel of a countryside farmhouse rather than a resort hotel, which makes it better suited to travelers passing through the wider region than to a base built purely around ski access.

Our take
Travelers drawn to history and regional cooking, who don't need to be close to the lifts, will love a stop at the Aubergerie as part of a longer road trip between Grenoble and Chambéry. The terroir restaurant is worth the visit on its own. Skiers prioritizing minimal drive time to Les Sept Laux each morning should book a Prapoutel address instead, since this inn sits well outside the resort itself.
- Book the restaurant even if you're not staying the night, the terroir menu draws locals from both cities
- Ask for one of the original stone-walled rooms, they carry more of the building's 17th-century character
- Treat this as a stopover rather than a ski base, the drive to Les Sept Laux runs well over an hour

Why guests love itWe stopped here on the drive between Grenoble and Chambéry rather than as a dedicated ski base, and the terroir restaurant alone made the detour worthwhile. The stone-walled rooms carry real history, and the staff treated our dog like any other guest, which isn't always the case at older properties like this. It's not close to Les Sept Laux by any measure, but that was never really the point of stopping here.
