Hotel le Montana in Chamonix

Stayed here for 4 days in between Christmas and New Year. The hotel is absolutely fantastic. We stayed in a suite which was a good enough size. The rooms are a wonderful french chalet style but very modern. The bathroom was lovely with a spa bath and separate rain shower. The hotel itself is small which is nice. you see the owners around all the time working hard and looking after people which is also really nice.

It is out of the center of Chamonix but in its own small village which has plenty of amenities and good links. It is lovely and quite and peaceful.

There is a bus service around a 4-5 minute walk away (in ski boots) which links to the other areas and the grand Montets lift is in the same location.

The buses are always really busy but there is no way around that in Chamonix. I would recommend if you are going into Chamonix and are wearing walking boots (rather than ski boots) getting the train in from Argentiere which runs ever hour and Costs around £3 and is no where near as busy as the bus and takes around the same amount of time.

All in all, this is one of the best quality hotels I have ever stayed in. It was a lovely lovely place. Highly recommend and would certainly go back.

Our 'séjours' at Hôtel Montana have been absolutely fabulous; first during our trek of Le Tour du Mont Blanc, then a second visit with family and friends for mountain biking, hiking, and lounging and swimming in the beautiful pool at the Hotel SPA. The very friendly and professional owners of the hotel could not have been more accommodating and attentive to our every need. They also gave us great advice on sites to visit and good hikes in the area. The rooms are lovely; mountain-chic, with lovely interior design and breath-taking views of the surrounding snow capped peaks. The breakfast is a sumptuous feast, a veritable banquet of fresh fruit and an array of crispy and multi-grain breads, cheeses, a variety of meats and options of egg dishes and lovely honey and confiture. There are also options for gluten-free and alternative milk. Our future trips to Chamonix will always bring us back to Hôtel Montana (only minutes away--but pleasantly out of the fray of Chamonix) . We cannot recommend it highly enough!

My son and I stayed here for a weekend of skiing in February. It is a very comfortable and pleasant hotel with excellent service, very nice rooms, and a wonderful little spa. Easy walking distance from the Grandes Montets lifts.

Very nice atmosphere and the owners are very nice. My son fell in the lift parking lot, and the owner kindly offered to wash his ski pants. Really lovely.

Highly recommended. Not super fancy, but perfect for a ski trip.
