The Lodge
About the property
We’ve discovered a hidden corner of the French Alps, where the cows still get milked in their pastures and hiking trails wind past centuries-old churches and trapped-in-time hamlets. The Savoie, a nook of France bordering Switzerland to the north and Italy to the east, feels like the Rocky Mountains on steroids, infused with European charm. In the summer, this region is the ultimate alpine playground.
Nestled in the tiny mountain village of Le Miroir, Eleven’s Chalet Pelerin is a dream base for exploration. Our local guides know every trail and peak, not to mention the best cafes and picnic spots. By day, choose your own adventure, from canyoneering and mountain biking to glacier trekking and whitewater rafting. At night, recharge in the chalet’s freshwater pool, sip wine on the patio, and let our chef introduce you to regional specialties like Tartiflette.

Explore the Lodge
Sleep
Built on top of a tiny French farming village, Chalet Pelerin provides 180-degree views of the surrounding Tarentaise Valley. King guest rooms bring the outdoors in, with large windows and balconies. Rooms are named after iconic French Alpine mountains, and the rustic, yet comfortable design reflects local traditions. There’s no need to set an alarm, as church bells or cowbells signal the start of each day.
Hang Space
After playing in the mountains all day, reward sore muscles with a soak in the hot tub or a yoga class on the patio. A large outdoor barbecue area surrounded by gardens and strung with lights is the perfect al fresco dining set up. The living room oozes classic Savoyarde charm, with wood beams from the 1800s, sheepskin rugs, and a double-sided fireplace.
EAT & DRINK
Food is a highlight at Chalet Pelerin. A farmer delivers yogurt to the chalet each morning and produce is picked from our garden. Chef Hannah’s carefully sourced menus showcase Savoyarde dishes like pumpkin velouté with Beaufort cheese. French wines take center stage, with nightly pairings. Guests can also immerse themselves in local culture at the area’s village cafes and the Saturday Bourg-Saint-Maurice market.
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 Pelerin, 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.
