MY EXPERIENCE
Armancette Hotel, Chalets and Spa are strong believers on simple pleasures and the present moment combined with luxury and the alpine art of living are a strong value proposition. I am counting down to be able to go to visit as soon as the current situation allows.
In my view, this is the perfect holiday destination for next summer, far away from the crowds, surrounded by nature, a real privilege considering the number of services and activities that can be done in the destination and how unique and exclusive this place is.

Above the ski resort Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, in a small mountain village named Saint-Nicolas de Véroce, one can find Armancette Hotel, Chalets & Spa, a privately owned new property which is already a member of Leading Hotels of the World and Traveller Made.
Overlooking the Mont Blanc, located between Chamonix, the sports worldwide known mountain destination, and Megève, that could be described as charmingly understated while being chic and authentic, this 5-starred boutique hotel was opened in on 1st July 2019.
