Become immersed in this idyllic setting where you really can have your cake and eat it too. Escaping to Saint Nicolas de Véroce means more than chasing thrills across the alpine pistes; taking advantage of the nearby Megève ski area is just one way to pass the time. Here, winter isn’t just a season, it’s a lifestyle.

Steeped in chocolate-box charm, blending into village life begins with a visit to Armancette’s own family-run bakery – a renowned local spot to grab breakfast before heading out to soak up the natural scenery. Within the sweeping panoramas, mountain-view snowshoeing takes you away from the pistes, while for those seeking a more traditional form of transport, dog sledding or horse-drawn carriage rides are on the agenda. 

Outdoor pursuits are balanced with trips into quaint Saint Gervais – and guests are also sure to enjoy the hotel’s own comforts. Dial back the pace in the spa, the perfect remedy for the moments when you’d like nothing more than to unwind away from the cold in a jacuzzi, sauna, or hammam. And as the days draw to a close, luxury is right at your fingertips. Sample the truly outstanding gastronomy at La Table D’Armante, where seasonal alpine flavours are reimagined. Beautifully designed with touches of wood and stone softened by sumptuous and vivid textiles, the vibe here is one of an intimate and luxurious ski lodge.
