Escape to Chamonix this December from £237pp, including return flights with an underseat bag and a stay at the four-star La Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix. Think mountain scenery, French food and a few days away in the Alps.
If you fancy a December break with somewhere a little different to stay, La Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix is a lovely option to have a look at.
I’ve paired up flights to Geneva with room prices at this four-star hotel in Chamonix. The lowest combination comes in at £237 per person for three nights from Southend, with departures from eight other airports below.
La Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix puts you close to the centre of town, making it a handy base for wandering out to restaurants, browsing the shops and enjoying the mountain surroundings.
The hotel has a pool, spa, gym and restaurant, along with games available on site. It is rated 8.6/10 — Excellent from around 1,000 reviews, with its location a particular highlight.
The featured option is an Access Room for 2, with one king bed or two single beds, sleeping two adults. The room measures approximately 193 sq ft and includes free Wi-Fi.
These prices are for a room-only, non-refundable rate. Breakfast is available to add separately, so you can choose between eating at the hotel or heading out into Chamonix.

You don’t need to ski to enjoy a few days in Chamonix. Mountain railways, gondola rides, Alpine food and time exploring town can make a lovely winter escape. If you’re wondering whether it’s your sort of destination, our is Chamonix worth visiting guide gives you a better feel for the place.
Aiguille du Midi is closed during these dates, with reopening scheduled for 19 December, but there are other mountain trips to build into your stay.
Check the official opening information, weather conditions and ticket options yourself before planning a mountain trip. Individual facilities, including the Mer de Glace ice cave, can have separate opening arrangements.
There’s plenty of appeal back down in the valley too. Wander through the town centre, browse the shops and stop for a hot chocolate between taking in the mountain views. In the evening, find somewhere cosy for fondue, raclette or tartiflette.
