Is the Annapurna a Palace hotel?

No — it holds the standard 5★ rating, not the Palace distinction. But it is the largest 5★ in 1850 and arguably the most ski-convenient address in the resort.

How ski-in / ski-out is the Annapurna?

As ski-in / ski-out as it gets — the Bellecôte piste runs past the front door, and the morning gondola to Saulire is a four-minute ski away.

Is the Annapurna good value compared to the Palaces?

Rates typically run 40–60% below the Palace average for an equivalent room category, with comparable ski access — which is why it tends to sell out earliest in the season for serious skiers.

The Wibaux family opened the Annapurna in 1989 at the very top of the Rue de Bellecôte. The position is unbeatable for skiers: the property sits at 1,850m altitude, the Bellecôte piste runs directly past the entrance, and the morning gondola to Saulire is a four-minute ski away.

Rate from: €900 / night (low) — €5,500+ (peak)

The house

The largest non-Palace 5★ in 1850, and the most skier-focused: an oversized boot room, in-house ski rental, and a south-facing sun terrace that catches the last light of the day. The interiors are classic Savoie chalet — timber, stone, open fireplaces — without the gilded theatre of the Palaces.

Spa & wellness

A 600 sqm spa with indoor pool, hammam, sauna and three treatment cabins. Modest by Palace standards but well-calibrated for skiers ending the day.

Dining

Two restaurants on site: Le Bellecôte for gastronomic service, and the brasserie Annapurna for all-day mountain classics. Both are open to non-guests.
