Altitude Lodge - Les Gets

We read reviews and made a special trip to taste the hot chocolate, as the reviews of others to find the place closed and seemingly closed for the summer. So we had our hot choc as another place nearby, but that was a bad (and expensive) alternative to what we hoped. If you plan a visit, we recommend you to open before the trip.

Stuffed for hot chocolate as recommended by friend, golly gosh the absolutely best hot chocolate ever on the mountain, totally amazing. Add to this great, friendly service and the best loo on the mountain we came. So we impressed for lunch the next day, that was great for me and my veggie friend. Great location for ski and snowshoe hiking, which is not to like. Keeps 5 stars without any doubt.

Had a fantastic lunch there on Sunday, with a large group. Service was fine and the food great. Views amazing and it's easy to slip into a very relaxed attitude to skiing. Very cool music and bonus the loos are not down a...flight of wet stairs! Went back the next day were ignored, then had appalling service from surly English waiting staff who really need some training in basic skills. Bread and water for the table had to be nagged for and though the food was good, of three portions of slamon, one was half the size of the other two. We had a bizarre experience when asking if it was possible to have soya milk in a special hot chocolate for a friend who is lactose intolerant. Initially told yes of course, then a few minutes later, the waiter reappeared to say that only guests of the hotel could have access to soya milk in the hot chocolates! I have never heard anything like it. Will probably go back because it is such a gorgeous spot, but they need to get some French staff in there to show them how it is done.

Following a recent trip up the mountain in Les Gets, we stopped here for a drink...the service is great. We seated ourselves and were soon served. The waitresses are all English so no French needed here : The hot chocolates were delicious and in the...words of our daughter posh ! The whole experience was great thank you! Definitely recommended.

Very pretty hotel with romantic rooms with small balcony cocooning very pretty bathroom lacks some things to put the toilet kit.Very good breakfast and full, speak not too well French damage.
