Les Lanchers Hotel
Ideally located near the Flégère lift with a great bar and restaurant
Make yourself at home in the relaxing, informal surroundings of this hotel. It is small and full of charm, built in typical Savoyard style and has been welcoming visitors, year round, for many years.
Situated by the La Flégère cable car, this hotel provides direct access to Chamonix's ski slopes in winter and to the best hiking trails in summer, as well as an 18-hole golf course.
Hotel Les Lanchers has recently undergone a 1.6 million euro refurbishment and can now offer guests an even greater standard of comfort. They have introduced Italian style ceramic and glass shower rooms, with standard accommodation featuring a Queen size bed, modern furnishings and a range of other facilities.
The hotel has also updated its 19 en-suite bedrooms which include single, double, twin, triple, two-bedroom family suites and a fully equipped disabled bedroom. Regular guests will also be glad to see passenger lift access to all rooms, especially after a hard day’s skiing or walking. The hotel proves a popular choice for those looking for great value with modern comfort.
All rooms are equipped with hairdryer, telephone, flat screen television with international channels, free Wi-Fi and en-suite bathroom (with bath or shower). Some rooms are available with a balcony and all enjoy superb mountain views overlooking the Mont Blanc or L'Aiguille des Drus.
For skiers, in the winter months there is a boot drying room and equipment storage available, as well as a sauna where you can unwind and revive any aching muscles after a full day on the mountain.
Les Lanchers has all the friendliness and intimacy of a chalet coupled with the efficiency, service and amenities of a hotel; high priority is placed on good value, good service and good food.
The Bar
The cosy cocktail bar is located on the ground floor and has large windows onto the main street of Les Praz, so you can watch the world go by if you choose. The comfortable armchairs are a great spot to enjoy an après-ski 'vin chaud' (mulled wine) or simply a post-dinner drink.
The Restaurant
Restaurant Le Refuge is a popular eatery for both guests and locals alike, with chef Thierry Morbu serving a menu based on freshly sourced seasonal produce. Half board packages including afternoon tea are available to guests, with reductions for children between 3-10 years and completely free for those under 3.
