      For a unique mountain experience in Thollon-les-Mémises

      Would you prefer accommodation in the mountains with easy access to numerous hiking trails? The 2-star Hotel Bon Séjour in Thollon-Les-Mémises is perfect for your family vacation.

      Nestled at an altitude of 920 meters opposite Les Mémises, set back from the road, this hotel has all the makings of a haven of peace. Owned since its creation in 1933 by the Dupont family. Over the generations, Le Bon Séjour has upheld a hotel tradition that has delighted holidaymakers.

      For a typically Savoyard experience in La Chapelle d'Abondance

      Want to live the Leman Mountains Explore experience to the full? What could be better than a typical Savoyard chalet to welcome you during your stay?

          Looking for a mountain activity to do with the whole family?

          If you’re discovering the mountains for the first time, or if your children are young, we recommend that you take advantage of your stay to discover the Lac des Plagnes or the Bords de Dranse by bike. These two tours are ideal for beginners and perfectly accessible for younger children.

          If you’re looking for a more adventurous climb, Mont Bénand or Lac d’Arvouin are two ideal family hikes to discover our region.



          Looking for a family water sports activity?

          Do you prefer to spend your vacations by the lake, but can’t wait to soak up the sun? No problem: introduce your children to paddleboarding and enjoy a unique family experience.

          Take advantage of our self-service paddles in Publier.

              Looking for a cultural activity to do with the whole family?
