Hotel le Dahu

A blissed-out mountain stay in Morzine among the towering peaks of the Mont Blanc area – includes breakfast, three-course dinner, wellness perks and more

Morzine may be one of France’s top ski areas, but when the snow melts it unveils a beautiful, green landscape of forested slopes dappled with wildflowers and crossed by a network of trails perfect for mountain biking or hiking. The award-winning, chalet-style Hotel Le Dahu is in prime position for exploring, with widescreen views from its bedroom windows across the peaks and a great setting just a few hundred metres’ walk from the centre of the village.

Get ready for relaxation with a day in the hotel’s spa: unwind with a treatment, swim in the pool or inhale the steam of the hammam. When you’ve wrung every last bit of stress from your body, head upstairs for a nap in your traditional Alpine bedroom before a sumptuous Savoie supper. Hearty dishes like croziflette – a local pasta dish with cheese, cream and bacon – sit alongside lighter options like roasted salmon with vegetables, all accompanied by robust wines from the region.

Mountain fare will prepare you for days of hiking in the hills, stomping up craggy paths to tranquil alpine lakes among the cattle. The hotel’s prepared a range of route cards so you can follow a well-trodden trail, or join a group for a guided trail; there are even experienced mountain guides to lead experienced trekkers up to higher altitudes. Give your legs a rest and borrow the hotel’s electric-powered mountain bikes to explore the circuits of the Portes du Soleil, or use your Morzine MultiPass to take the lift or bus.
