Chalet Hotel les Gentianettes: a family history since 1994...
... Offering you the best mountain holidays in Haute-Savoie.
The beginnings of the Gentianettes: 1994-2000
Hotel, restaurant & swimming pool, les Gentianettes was born in 1994 thanks to Nathalie and Claude Trincaz, with their three children, Sandrine, Nicolas and Léo. Out of love for the calm and warm spirit of the Abondance Valley, they decided to share the idea of escaping by building a hotel and began to gradually put their ideas together. This is how they came up with the idea of creating the Hotel les Gentianettes, to bring satisfaction to their customers.
Following its creation, they gave the exterior a makeover and expanded the relaxation area: the jacuzzi, sauna and hammam. Clients could already feel the spirit of freedom in a cosy “Savoyard-style” atmosphere through the décor and the mountain activities.
Our first renovations in the 2000’s: to better welcome our guests
To keep the little ones happy while the adults enjoy some free time, the children’s area was built in the 2000’s. A holiday for the whole family! In 2006, our chef Claude Trincaz established a new restaurant named Le Carnotzet (later changing its name to La Baratte-Brasserie Alpine), multiplying the unique flavours and cheesy delights from the Abondance Valley, with its traditional Savoyard specialities. From then, renovations continued every year during the off-seasons. “We regularly renovate bedrooms and restaurants, our aim being to satisfy our clients and allow them to enjoy their unique school holidays, winter holidays, family ski holidays or simply a mini getaway in the mountains” Nathalie Trincaz. This is how the Chalet-Hotel Restaurant les Gentianettes obtained its 3-star title, thanks to its quality services in the region.
Le Jolla: the second generation takes over gastronomy
It was in 2014 that the restaurant Le Jolla, managed by Sandrine, the eldest of the Trincaz family, was created, bringing culinary specialties to the edges of Lake Geneva, perfectly mastered by her father, the chef. The family touch is always present, keeping the values that their customers already know. The restaurant is located on the shores of Lake Geneva at the Port de Sechex, with breathtaking views. Enjoy your meal in a friendly atmosphere, surrounded by a bucolic, some would even call it magical, landscape to taste the féra en goujonnettes or the filets de perche meunière.
Aiming for excellence: 2015-2018
Always aiming for excellence, the Gentianettes became les Gentianettes Chalet-Hotel Restaurant & Spa thanks to its renovations made: Spa, sensory shower, relaxation room, connected & spacious bedrooms to choose from depending on your wants and needs. Naturally, after this, our Chalet-Hotel received its 4th star. These numerous renovations gave way to others: the creation of a large underground car park to welcome our guests in full-security, suitable for all kinds of vehicles, so that you can enjoy pure moments of bliss free of worry. The underground car park was the first in the valley to bring you electric car charging points adapted to your Tesla and multi-brand vehicles in 2018.
Since 2019: bringing you more to make that dream holiday come true
Since 2019, improvements have been continuous, because for us the most important thing is not only your satisfaction and loyalty to return to us on your holidays, but also to ensure that your vacation is forever engraved in your memories.
Improvements to the exterior were done to give our family hotel a fresh face. We wanted to bring you peace and quiet alongside quality service during your holidays. Throughout its journey, you can see that the values we share at the ****Hotel Les Gentianettes Restaurant and Spa have been the same since day one: the promise of magical moments in the heart of the Haute-Savoie mountains. To this day, our Chalet Hotel continues to improve and bring you new experiences to make sure that your time spent with family, friends or colleagues is as pleasant as can be.
There once was an ambitious Savoyard family…
