History
The past of Le Chetzeron is fascinating: the owner, Sami Lamaa, had the ambitious idea of transforming a former gondola station into a 4* hotel with a sleek design. Take a look at this image to discover the Chetzeron's first life. See the opening on the right through which the gondolas pass? Today it's the large bay window of the hotel's imposing lobby.
High altitude refuge
The hotel's location is unique in Europe: you're at an altitude of 2112 meters, above the last larch trees, facing the highest peaks in the Alps. The show goes on all year round. In spring, for example, you can see the first mountain flowers and buzzing bees. And in autumn, the larch trees gradually turn orange and set the landscape alight.
Please note that the hotel is only accessible on foot, by ski, gondola or Chetzeron vehicles. The climb is part of the change of scenery and must be organized in advance.
The rooms
There are just 16 rooms in the hotel and all offer views of the majestic peaks in the vicinity, including the Bishorn at 4151 meters and the Weisshorn at 4506 meters.
