Why It Matters

One Michelin star at La Table d'Armante (awarded 2026), curated by Tablet Hotels / Michelin Guide, member of Leading Hotels of the World, and Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts. Only 19 rooms, so it never feels crowded. Ski-in/ski-out access to one of the largest linked ski domains in the French Alps from a genuinely village setting.

A 19-room, five-star boutique hotel sitting at 1,150 metres in the quiet Alpine hamlet of Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce. The building looks the part — Mont Blanc granite window towers, tavaillon wood roof, classic chalet facade — but step inside and you get polished Italian furniture, individually marbled bathrooms, and a Michelin-starred restaurant. Ski lifts to the Evasion Mont-Blanc network (450km of runs) are metres from the front door, and the spa pool looks directly at the Dômes de Miage.

Suite Mont-Blanc

Not in the main hotel building — these suites are in a standalone Savoyard chalet directly in front of the hotel. At 57 m², they sleep four across two bedrooms and a living room, with a private terrace facing the Mont Blanc range. Private entrance. The most independent and spacious option short of booking a full chalet.
