The Hotel L'Eterlou offers comfortable accommodation, great facilities, excellent cuisine and is located opposite the Hotel La Chaudanne, connected by an underground corridor. After a day of exploring the extensive Three Valleys ski area, you'll have plenty of opportunity to recharge and refuel at the wellness area and bar.

Alpine restaurant 

Experience the tastes of hearty mountain food in the L'Eterlou's mountain restaurant. Featuring a warm, cosy wooden interior, the Grange Restaurant specialises in family cooking, fresh seasonal products and Savoyard specialities. The restaurant offers cuisine to suit all tastes and also has a terrace that provides fantastic views of the mountains.

Soothing spa

Take in the snowy scenery from the warmth of the outdoor, heated swimming pool. Or add some bubbles and take a moment to relax in the outdoor jacuzzi, which also provides mountain views. If you'd prefer to avoid the cold altogether, than you'll be able to loosen up inside in either the sauna or hammam, or both - whatever takes your fancy.

Charm and authenticity 

Taking inspiration from traditional mountain ski chalets, each room provides an authentic, winter atmosphere with wooden décor and warm colours.
