L'AIGUILLE DU MIDI HOTEL AND RESTAURANT
Family-run hotel and restaurant in Chamonix
The restaurant favored by locals, the hotel beloved by vacationers
L’Aiguille du Midi hotel and restaurant has been known to lovers of Chamonix since 1908.
- Holidaymakers stay there year after year as if they were coming home. Some have known several generations of the Farini family.
- It is also a very good restaurant appreciated by locals. But like a little-known gem, they don't talk about it much so they can keep all the pleasure to themselves!
- However, this place is so incredible that I can't deprive you of this great address!
Why do we love having lunch or dinner at the Aiguille du Midi restaurant?
- For its historic building, charming and “so Instagrammable” 😉
- For its unbeatable value for money menus!
- The menu, which pays tribute to French cuisine and Savoyard gastronomy, is indulgent and delicious. Everything is homemade!
- We love the cheese and dessert buffet!
- And on Saturday evenings, the Grand Marnier flambéed crêpe!
- Ideal for private events, birthdays, etc.
- In summer, guests can enjoy the garden and terrace at the foot of Mont Blanc. If you remember to bring your swimsuit, you can relax after lunch in the hotel's heated pool.
- Its local decor, steeped in history, is regularly adorned with modern exhibitions.
This winter, you can discover the José de Vérité exhibition in memory of the 1956 Boeing Kangchenjunga crash.
- We also love its lounges with billiards, foosball, and ping-pong, open to all!
