At the foot of Mont Blanc, the Carrier family (today Pierre and his daughter Perrine) has presided over the destiny of this establishment since 1903 — its history written by their
many hands. In the gastronomic restaurant, new chef Damien Leveau follows in Pierre Maillet’s footsteps, drawing inspiration for his creativity from the cuisines of the Piedmont, Liguria and Savoy. At La Maison Carrier, enjoy local specialities in the warmth of an old mountain farmhouse or on the terrace facing Mont Blanc. As for the rooms, the contemporary style of the original hotel, the rustic atmosphere of the farm and the intimacy of the chalets in the park, each in their own way, highlight the art of living in the mountains, all while boasting views of the eternal snows.
