Au Club Alpin

The hotel is lovely, and the views from the rooms are amazing - but the thing that really makes this place is the staff. We particularly appreciated Axel, for whom nothing was too much effort (organising for some things to be purchased for us in a town 20 mins away and delivered to our room, in one case lending us an item of his own when we needed it, even coming in on his day off to help with our departure). Also the barman Alex who was great to chat to, and made excellent drinks (and had the rare approach of listening to how you wanted your drinks and then making them that way rather than the "official" recipe), and the restaurant manager Quentin, who on top of being very accommodating in finding ways for the kitchen to provide us food that was not on the menu, also gave us a lift in the village when we really needed it . Such a great team, thanks for helping us so much during our stay!

We came to dine at a beautiful restaurant with a view of the lake. The service was terrible. The restaurant was empty. When we asked about the status of our food, we were spoken to rudely, and without checking, they told us we could cancel the order. When we requested to cancel, the food arrived after 40 minutes. In conclusion, the service was terrible, and the food was mediocre.

Be quick to visit this stunning restaurant … the Visions Alpine set menu is beautifully presented, cleverly made and stunningly memorable. The location is heavenly and the staff are young and energetic. It’s just a brilliant combination for a truly unforgettable meal.

We decided to splurge halfway through hiking the TMB and stay at AU Club Alpin. The location was beautiful, amenities and food were top notch, and loved all the *extra* details that were provided during our stay. We booked the package including half board - this included a welcome drink, 3+ course dinner, and breakfast. All the food was delicious and dinner was beautifully presented. While our room was on the small side, loved the coffee bar setup, availability of fruit and teas in the room, and free soft drinks in the minibar. The bathroom was also very nicely setup. Additionally, my husband and I got a HUGE kick out of the wooden toothbrushes engraved with our names! Extra and totally unnecessary? Yes. Very fun and unique? Definitely. Checked out the spa setup in the morning before we headed out on our hike - they set it up very nicely with seamless indoor / outdoor connection and the infinity hot tub had super powerful jets which were appreciated on Day 5 of hiking. The only comment I would have is that the fitness section of the spa should open prior to 10 AM -- it would have been great to wake up and have ability to stretch / grab a yoga mat in the morning before breakfast. Overall, we only wish we could have stayed there more than one night. Was the ultimate spot for disconnecting and relaxing in upscale surroundings.
