Le Cœur des Neiges, boutique hotel in Haute-Savoie
Stay at a boutique hotel in the heart of Haute-Savoie
Pretty balconies carved in the Savoyard style, red shutters and large windows looking out onto the summits, Le Cœur des Neiges has the charm of a large family home. We love the chalet feel and the cushions to snuggle into after a great day's activities outdoors. Nighttime reveries and magical nights at the foot of Mont-Blanc await , where the mountain air is so restful. By the fireplace, sunk into a sofa, one takes the time to sip a hot chocolate whilst reliving the day's exciting adventures. It’s so charming… and that's without mentioning the hotel's new feature: its spa wellness area.
The place to visit since 1901
A former dwelling constructed in 1901 for a local notable, Le Cœur des Neiges quickly found its vocation as a hotel. At the foot of Europe's highest peaks, over the years the hotel has become the preferred stop-off for lovers of fresh air and winter sports.
Through renovations and improvements, it has never stopped cultivating its unique style of hospitality: the warmth of wood, cosy comfort and afternoon tea by the fireplace.
Just 5 minutes from the shuttle buses for the ski slopes and a stone’s throw from Saint-Gervais' thermal spa, Le Cœur des Neiges hotel is the departure point for that Haute-Savoie has to offer.

Sébastien, your host
A hotel is more than just its rooms and services, it is above all about its soul , and this is what won over Sébastien Henchoz. He who was in search of a place to realise his dreams of becoming a hotelier found a charming haven at the foot of Mont-Blanc.
Brought up on the hotel industry at the family hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva, as well choosing to study it and as a vocation, Sébastien initially took other paths: a trip around the world including New Zealand, the USA, Asia, Fiji, Tahiti, before running the family business for many years.
To keep the dream alive, he even opened a sandwich shop in Deux-Alpes. Once a passion, always a passion! At Le Cœur des Neiges hotel, Sébastien has finally found his destiny and begins each new day with the feeling that he is where he is meant to be.
Your host is on hand to take care of you and offer experienced advice.
