Accomodation                        

We will be staying at the Hotel Aiguille du Midi^*** which is located 3 Kms from the centre of Chamonix in the village of Les Bossons. From the hotel there are breathtaking views of the Mont-Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi and the Seracs of the Bosson Glacier. The hotel has a cosy atmosphere and has a tradition going back a 100 years and is now run by the 5th generation of the same family who certainly know how to make their guests feel welcome. To help you relax, after a hard day on the slopes, it offers a sauna and a jacuzzi to ease those aching muscles. In the evening we will be served a fantastic gourmet 4 course evening meal in the hotel's Logis de France rated restaurant and on Saturday evening the much acclaimed Crepe Suzette Chef will cook for you until you burst !
