Great location 

You couldn't ask for a hotel in a better location, the Chamois d'Or is in the Rond Point des Piste area of Alpe d'Huez, so you have direct access to the wonderful ski area where you can enjoy over 250 kilometers of sunny slopes via the DMC1 lift which is conveniently located next to the hotel. Getting back is equally as easy, just head down the gentle slope back down towards 1800 and the hotel where you can store your equipment in the heated storage room.

Five-star hotel

If you are looking for a luxurious base for your next French ski holiday, the Chamois d'Or is a fantastic choice. Furnished in a traditional alpine chalet style, you'll find plenty of rustic wood, a comfortable lounge area with fireplace and warmly decorated rooms with views of the resort and surrounding mountains. There is plenty to keep you occupied off of the slopes including an extensive spa area, sun terrace, games room and a cosy bar with a library and fireplace. The food here is excellent, enjoy traditional French cuisine with a mountain twist made with fresh and local ingredients. 

Relaxation

After a day of exploring the sunny slopes of Alpe d'Huez, make the most of the Nuxe Spa area. Have a dip in the pool, unwind in the whirlpool or relax and soothe any aches in the sauna and steam room. For the ultimate treat, a range of massages and treatments are available for a local fee. 

If the spa isn't for you, there's a games room with table tennis, table football and board games in the library. You can cosy up in the library with a glass of wine in front of the fire or enjoy the winter sun on the terrace. There's a range of homemade cakes, pastries and charcuterie or cheese boards to tide you over until dinner served in the bar (pay locally).
