Aravis Alpine Retreat is in the quiet hamlet of Les Lombardes in the stunning Aravis Mountains that run east and parallel with the Mont Blanc massifs in the French Alps. This is our playground, year round, for a great diversity of activities that we combine with our training workshops to enhance each programme and event.
The Retreat is not a hotel - it's a true home from home with every comfort in relaxed informal style. The building was formally an alpine farmhouse with extra rooms for letting, created for the recuperative well being and fresh mountain air market at the turn of the last century.
Now fully renovated specifically as a business retreat and designed with harmony to the region and its timber heritage but with an eye to the comforts of today and the needs of our business – making people feel at home.
Interior designer Jan Greenhill has successfully combined both to give us lots of meeting and mixing space, comfy sofas, log fires, B&O audio/tv, simple comfortable bedrooms all with en-suite facilities, deep old pine beds, crisp fresh linen, Molton Brown toiletries and power showers. Plus space to escape, media contact room, terraces, gardens and grounds.
No pomp or ceremony this house welcomes you as a friend and makes your stay special and memorable. Great cuisine, great company, great organization and of course the great outdoors.
