The Auberge de Montagne Chez Pat du Sauget

The Rochet family inn has just six traditionally furnished, two-star standard rooms, and its position next to the Vanoise Express in the Montchavin-Les Coches sector means it is accessible on foot, by ski or car. This is an authentic Tarantaise mountain inn, run by locals, and as such is one of the most atmospheric locations in the resort.

Auberge de Cassiel

Another traditional mountain inn with only four rooms. Expect creaking wooden interiors and quirky touches (such as old pans and cast iron bowls for washbasins) mixed with modern technology such as wifi and solar heating panels. Its location in La Cote d’Aime means a car is pretty much a necessity.
