Chalet Du Grand Ballon

The layout of typical rooms. very good reception

This Friday, May 20, after climbing the big ball, we had to eat at noon before going down. Two solutions were offered to us, either the Chalet-hotel or the snack shop in front of us. small tripadvisor search to find that there were no more than 3.5 stars, which is not top. especially for comment on people's antipathy, etc. dilemma. However, our choice has focused on this one because the frame is much more authentic and on the other side it is self-service in canteen duck-to-mobile mode, so no thanks. back in the building, we are pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere of the place, worthy of motel bats. immediately the reception of the lady is warm and polished and we feel comfortable, quickly taken care and with the smile. it indicates with the comments read, in the right sense of the term. It's starting well! then I pass the details of the meal but we chose the menu of the hiker, insert-plat-dessert in incredible quantities for 13,50€! and it was a real pleasure, for my friend and I unanimously! We really liked the dishes, after which we had the visit of the cook, very friendly to others. we were expecting at prices above the average seen the tourist place, and not at all. the Rando menu is special in season, but even the rest of the card and drinks are in very usual prices. In summary, we went out of there ravished, after having eaten deliciously well and having spent a moment of courtesy with all the people present! we do not understand the bad comments we have read. it is possible that they are about old operators, but at least now it is top! Come on!

Nice meal in the evening, the rooms were clean and friendly staff. In the morning we enjoyed the breakfast (cheese, special bread, age-dried meat, excellent). hotel itself has charm, is a bit older but ok

Beautiful. the setting, the view and the meal! the hotel has a bright side that we really liked! the charm of the old, fireplace and stone staircase, woodworks of 1920, everything is there for a beautiful immersion in the past of the old mountain hotels. ps: we have eaten very well, chef hat that makes each of its plates an invitation to tasting. service in an impeccable room too. Thank you very much.

Warm and friendly welcome. the hiker menu was good and hearty.
