Chalets Hôtel La Croix Fry
Chez
Isabelle Loubet - Guelpa & Eric Guelpa
In Manigod, the Chalets-Hôtel de la Croix Fry continues the legacy of a family that pioneered Alpine tourism. Part intimate hotel, part hamlet of a dozen chalets, the establishment brilliantly combines heritage, mountain charm, and contemporary comfort.
This family pioneered mountain tourism, founding this establishment between the two world wars. First there was Aline, then Lina, Marie-Ange, and now Isabelle, who, along with her brother Éric and their cousins Mireille and Pierre, are keeping alive the legend of one of the oldest hotels in the Aravis mountains. The Chalets-Hôtel de la Croix Fry has nine rooms, including six suites in the hotel, and, above all, a dozen chalets surrounding it, forming a hamlet. These are truly charming settings for two to ten people for the most spacious ones.
