Nature as a source of inspiration

Wine and food pairings
An epicurean journey where, our head sommelier, Marc-Henri Mialon, will accompany you on the discovery of the exceptional wine cellar which holds 19,000 bottles, representing more than a thousand wines in total, 646 of which feature in our wine list and where Grands Crus are left to age over time.
Excellent service
Perrine Carrier, Maitre D’Hôtel Antoine Merheb and their team assure a professional and attentive service to all guests, throughout the establishment.
Traditional Restaurant – La Maison Carrier
A table in the Maison Carrier farmhouse promises the return of local cuisine from a bygone era in a cosy, alpine setting.
Old favourites, such as grilled pigs’ trotters, pike dumplings in crayfish sauce and pan-fried fera fillet have been reinvented by Head Chef, Stéphane Gassot, to be enjoyed on the terrace in the summer or near the open fire in the winter.
Wine Bar & Cocktails
Subdued purple lighting with hues of blue and live jazz with piano and saxophone combinations: welcome to the QuartzBar, a chic and cosy place to spend those special evenings.
With a decor reminiscent of Mont Blanc rock crystals, the QuartzBar provides an elegant atmosphere for an unforgettable evening.
A la carte, you will discover lesser- known appellation crus from our alpine region, high quality vintage wines and Champagne, as well as numerous cocktails, liqueurs and a selection of sweet and savoury gourmet tapas.
Six nights a week, either playing solo or with other talented musicians, composer and coordinator, Samir Hodzic, guarantees a pleasurable evening for all to enjoy.

A spa that proposes personalised treatments
At our spa ‘Le Bachal’, our proposed treatments are designed to be personalised: a massage adapted to your body’s needs, a facial adapted to your skin type.
For the tailor-made composition of essential oil blends, we listen to our clients and take the time to exchange with them before proposing a treatment.
This means we are able to propose a suitably-adapted treatment according to our clients’ expectations, personality, wishes and the season. In the summer, anti-inflammatory rhododendron is used alongside juniper (ideal for circulation) and relaxing rose wood. In the winter, warmer spices such as cinnamon and bitter orange are favoured.
Nature’s virtues
Our aromatherapy, essential oils, dietary minerals and plants are all essential for giving your body the care and attention it deserves. The ‘Anne Semonin’ products we use are 100% eco-friendly and not only nourish the body but appease the mind.
Now in Chamonix, you can discover the benefits of grape-based oeno-cosmetic skincare routines with our proposal of grapeseed wraps, scrubs, drainage and massages. Here, at Le Hameau Albert 1er, vineyards play an important role in our spa as well as in our restaurants!
