About Hotel PlanB

With Chamonix centre just around the corner and unbeatable views of Mont Blanc, PlanB has created a base for your ski holiday that ticks all the right boxes. It’s a hotel that feels like Chamonix itself - bold, welcoming and full of life. Simply put, it’s the kind of hotel you visit once and then find yourself coming back to again and again. With its simple, modern and comfy vibe, PlanB is all about making you feel right at home.

The friendly competition doesn't have to end when the lifts close. Keep the energy going with a family challenge at "Highway 66" mini-bowling alley. If you'd prefer a quiet corner to chill, there’s a spot for everyone to enjoy the afternoon. While the children stay busy in their own dedicated area (stocked with board games, wooden toys and colouring), you can finally relax. Grab a coffee, pop your feet up and take a well-earned breather while keeping an eye on the fun.

Parched from the mountain air or just in the mood for a treat? The bar has you covered. Order a cold local beer or one of their latest cocktail creations and discuss the day's antics. If aperitifs are your thing, the snack board is waiting for you. And to top it off, Happy Hour takes place every single day from 4pm to 6pm - it's the perfect way to unwind with awesome mountain views before dinner.

Hotel PlanB is offered on a bed and breakfast basis with the option to upgrade to half board.

Enjoy a continental buffet breakfast with fresh local produce, served between 6:30am and 10am.

Between 2pm and 6pm, the restaurant serves up a great snack menu - perfect for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. While these aren't included in the half-board package, they’re easy to pay for locally as you go. Dig into some raclette and maple-glazed bacon fries, or grab a sweet treat to fuel up before heading back to the slopes. 

If you've opted for the ease of half board, dinner is served from 7pm to 9:30pm. Succumb to the temptation of a juicy burger, or go traditional with the melty comforts of Alpine hot cheese boxes. And dinner wouldn't be complete without one of the homemade desserts - the blueberry French toast with vanilla cream is a must-try.
