Notes
The three-star Hotel du Bois is an attractive alpine chalet with 43 guest rooms in the heart of the small village of Les Houches, just five km from Chamonix. The village has some small bars, a couple of supermarkets, a post office, bank and tourist office, and makes a great base for accessing some of the most beautiful walking in the Alps. The hotel's restaurant serves French cuisine and wine and there is a cosy bar with outside seating where you can enjoy a drink in the sunshine; an ideal spot to wind down after a day walking. The large garden has wonderful views of Mont Blanc and the Chamonix Valley and the hotel has a heated indoor pool and a sauna. Breakfast comes as a continental buffet with cereals and dinner is generally a three-course set menu. WiFi internet connection is available free of charge. Mountain bikes are available to hire if you fancy exploring on 2 wheels for a while. All bedrooms are light and enjoy views of the mountains. They have en suite private bathrooms with a full bath and a hairdryer provided. Simply and tastefully furnished, rooms are equipped with a flat screen TV, telephone, mini bar, small desk and wardrobe.
