Brighten your next holiday with family or friends thanks to the various packages that the Chalet-Hotel Les Gentianettes, The Originals Relais, can present to you this year. Summer and winter alike, let us reveal the secrets of the Abondance valley, in the heart of the Savoie Mont-Blanc region.
Need to organize your skiing holiday? Or maybe your summer escape between lakes and mountains? Everything is possible! In Haute-Savoie, the Abondance Valley, with its local fauna and breathtaking alpine views, will no longer keep any secrets from you. Your trip to the mountains will leave a lasting impression on you. Just sit back and let your imagination roam free... let us guide you on this extraordinary journey, according to your budget and expectations.
Dear Holidaymakers, make your trip even better with this not-to-be-missed experience! The breathtaking towns and villages of Haute-Savoie provide a sense of freedom that will leave you speechless. From the first day, explore around the Lac d’Arvouin and its beautiful alpine landscapes. For the pleasure of your eyes, take yourself on a one-and-a-half-hour round trip, a breath of fresh air guided by a professional or by your own self.
Our Chalet-Hotel les Gentianettes has put together a program that you will never forget. End the day in style, relaxing in our SPA area: book a 2-hour facial & body treatment and finish with some time in our hammam to give your body the energy it will need before tasting our rich and succulent Savoyard meals in our Baratte restaurant. Original gourmet food at its best.
More than just a holiday destination, the Savoie region is also rich in history, a history that you will undoubtedly appreciate. On your second day, explore the medieval village of Yvoire, only a 45-minute drive away. Relax on the beach of Excenevex with its fine sand and its dedicated recreation and sports area. The perfect surroundings for a holiday! Go for a stroll along the shores of Lake Geneva or visit the port of Sechex and our lakeside restaurant Le Jolla, where will be happy to cook you up a wonderful lunch, a luxury only a short drive away.
Next on the list, head to the outdoor activity area in la Chapelle d'Abondance. For something different, the sled dogs are here to delight holidaymakers of all ages (bookings highly recommended). Share your happiness during the school holidays. Through the ESF (French Ski School), continue your adventure with a biathlon or some cross-country skiing. As usual, the Chalet-Hotel Les Gentianettes will finish off your day in style…you will have the opportunity to taste our selection of wines by the glass: the best selections from our wine cellar will be served on the outdoor terrace or in the lounge, as you wish. The most important thing for us is your satisfaction. The icing on the cake is a homemade charcuterie board, secretly put together by our own Chef !
To complete your stay, whether you are a thrill-seeker, a lift professional, a true mountaineer or simply looking for a challenge up-high, the Fantasticable & Paragliding will be yours for the asking on the third day of your discovery experience. To add to that, why not take a ride on an electric mountain bike to get a closer look at our beautiful surroundings with kilometres of trails, bordered by pine trees and majestic mountains. At the foot of the slopes, enjoy a full lunch with a clear mind, what more could you ask for ?
On the last day of the discovery package, the wellness area is at your service: a sensory shower in balneotherapy to soothe your body and your senses, and a jacuzzi to bring you comfort. A warm dinner at the Gentianettes restaurant to satisfy your taste buds before returning to your daily routine will surely be welcomed. Bon appétit!
