Hotel Eden

The Eden’s quiet location in Les Praz is ideal for accessing Le Flegere lift – a few minutes’ walk away – and offers fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. The hotel belies its three-star rating with simple but comfortable rooms, a homely atmosphere and a very well-regarded restaurant.

There’s a simple, nature-focused, heart-of-the-mountains ambience about the place, helped by the regular exhibitions of mountain artwork. Two kilometres outside Chamonix’s centre, it’s easily reached by taxi, bus and train, making it a great location for keen and/or sporty skiers who don’t need to party every night, and mountain lovers, who will feel right at home amongst fellow aficionados.
