The Lodge
About the property
The rugged spirit of the French Alps is complemented by a refined dose of culture, cuisine and European charm at our premium French chalet — Chalet Hibou. In Savoie, a beautiful French region near Switzerland and Italy, summer is all about the outdoors.
Hiking and biking trails wind past centuries-old churches and sapphire blue lakes and lunch is always al fresco. Tucked high up in the mountain village of Le Miroir, Chalet Hibou is the perfect home for exploration and R&R. Our local guides know every peak and trail, not to mention the best spots for gelato, génépi and picnics. Days are spent canyoneering, glacier trekking, biking and white water rafting. Evenings revolve around steam and sauna sessions, wine on the patio and chef-prepared meals showcasing the region’s best ingredients.

Nestled in the mountains of the Tarentaise Valley, Chalet Hibou perches on top of the tiny French farming village of Le Miroir. With rustic-chic interiors inspired by the property’s alpine surroundings, Chalet Hibou provides unmatched amenities infused with a classic French twist. Wake up rested and refreshed each morning to the crisp mountain air and cowbells signaling the start of the day.
HANG SPACE
After an adventure packed day, relax and recharge with Chalet Hibou’s sauna, steam rooms and outdoor hot tub. Enjoy gourmet chef-prepared meals on the patio while soaking in the mountain views or spend some quality time enjoying local French wines.
EAT & DRINK
Each morning, enjoy a hearty breakfast spread of muesli, local bread and yogurt, and made-to-order eggs. For lunch, you’ll have the option of adding a chef-prepared lunch, which can be served in-house or in the backcountry. At night, menus showcase Savoyarde dishes like pumpkin velouté with the region’s famed Beaufort cheese, Côte de Boeuf, and of course, Raclette and fondue. French wines also take center stage, with nightly menu pairings.
OUTPOSTS
In the summer, hike or E-bike through the Alps’ dramatic mountainscapes to one of our three remote outposts. Originally sheep herders’ huts, these backcountry adventure bases sit on either side of the French/Italian border and have been renovated to host you for picnic lunches, chef-prepared dinners, and overnight stays. Perfect for those seeking an immersive experience beyond the chalets, this unique offering combines the best of off-grid adventures, alpine-chic comforts, and spectacular mountain scenery.
A New Hut Trip through the Alps
Designed as a backcountry hiking addition to your stay at Chalet Hibou, this three-day experience is setting a new standard for hut-to-hut trips. Along with our team of local guides, explore some of the world’s most stunning landscapes and stop each night at one of our historic mountain huts in France and Italy.
