In Chamonix, the Hôtel Mont-Blanc, with its heated outdoor pool facing the massif, embraces cosiness; in Annecy, the Impérial Palace enchants by the lake. Two perfect addresses for a cosy mountain weekend.
When to Go for a Romantic Weekend Getaway?
Valentine’s Day and the spring bank holidays are peak periods: book early and ask for ‘special occasion’ touches. For more intimacy and better rates, aim for midweek outside of school holidays.
