Your vacation chalet in Les Contamines-Montjoie
Welcome to your mountain home!
The heart of the Aubergistes Lyonnais collection
A home… with a difference, and a profound innkeeper’s touch, for your stay near Samoëns, Chamonix or Megève. Le Gai Soleil is a refuge in the truest sense of the word: it offers lodging, food and human contact (with all the comforts and quality of service of a 4-star hotel). It’s an old farmhouse, a chalet rooted in the Contamines-Montjoie region: inhabited, rooted in Haute Savoie. Here, the spirit of the mountains shines through: mountaineering, cheeses, tales of climbing. But the same hospitality as in our Lyon homes…
L’auberger, the first in line
For Loïc Renard, the mountains are a school of life. He’s been coming to Les Contamines for years. He has learned to observe, to be patient, to listen, to start again, to surpass himself. It’s here that he forged part of his entrepreneurial posture, taking on the role of guide: taking the initiative, leading the way, always with those who follow in mind.
