L'Hermine Blanche

Found our cozy Alpine retreat
Wow… what a lovely little hotel. The Hermine Blanche only has around 24 rooms, that, plus the super attentive staff, make staying here feel very special.

We had a super comfortable stay. The pool, hot tub and jacuzzi are very welcome after a day on the slopes, and the lounge area has very incredibly comfy sofas and a warming fireplace. I challenge you got to have an accidental sofa nap after a day in the hills.

Eating here was also good. All the meals were delicious and well presented. Each morning you are asked to pick your evening meal from several options, all of which were very tempting.

The location is bang on. A quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle, but a mere 6 minute stroll across the pedestrian bridge takes you to downtown Morzine and the bars, shops, ski hire and the all important cable car to take you up into the mountains. Don’t want to walk… no problem. There is also a free bus service that stops right outside.

But what makes a holiday at the Hermine Blanche really special is the lovely staff. Their local knowledge is brilliant, with excellent tips for where to ski, shop and eat. The staff have not only the time, but also a genuine inclination to help you, from offering to carrying your bags, serving drinks, or skiing and snowboarding tips. The personal service was exceptional, and the team are a genuine credit to this excellent little hotel.

Shane helped me with snowboard kit questions, and he also hosts a great quiz night (who knew that the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland?). Ella was great company and helped us choose which slopes to hit. Megan serves a great beer accompanied by friendly conversation. Soirise was brilliant sorting out our bookings and kit hire. She met us from the airport and we immediately knew we were in safe hands. Actually, other than getting on a plane, choosing between coq au vin or another tempting choice, red or white wine, and picking which slopes to ride… I didn’t have a care in the world… everything was in the safe hands of Alpine Elements and their 5 star team.

Is the Alpine Elements Hermine Blanche good value for money? Yes, without a doubt this holiday and hotel are excellent value for money. If you add up the transfers, meals, coffee, cakes, very reasonably priced alcoholic drinks, pool and sauna facilities and location… our Alpine Elements winter holiday was a bargain.

We are already planning our next visit. Why go online and get lost in endless searches for somewhere great to stay in the Alps when we have already found our cozy Alpine retreat... and we can’t wait for our next holiday. We may not even wait for the next ski season and holiday here for a summer adventure.

Me, my husband and two kids (8 and 6) have just had the most fabulous Christmas week at L'Hermine Blanche. If we could rate it higher than 5 stars, we would. The location is ideal, with free regular shuttle buses to the town if you don't want to walk maximum 10 minutes to get there. The food is really delicious, with kids portions an adult would struggle to finish and a lovely varied choice each day. The plentiful afternoon tea and constant access to the hot drinks/fruit juice machines is also a big plus. The facilities are great, and the hotel was spotless. The kids didn't tire of the pool table/table tennis and swimming pool, and the cosy lounge area created a wonderful, friendly vibe. We mixed with lots of the other guests during our stay and it felt very safe for the kids to roam. A lovely touch was having our own designated dining table for the duration of our stay - adding to the personal feel of the trip. The views from the dining area were stunning. The rooms are quaint and comfortable. It's always a struggle for space with a family of four and a lot of winter equipment, but we managed. The staff were fantastic: all very friendly and efficient, and nothing seemed too much trouble. We had a shower problem one morning and within hours it was attended to. Our room was also cleaned/tidied daily! Special mention for Lily, Shane, Ella and Abbie who really added to our holiday with their friendliness and attentiveness. Being Christmas week, attention to detail was evident in little things like mince pies at tea, a lovely tree, a Christmas quiz on Christmas eve and crackers with a full roast dinner on Christmas day. All of this, along with the perfect weather we landed for our week, made for a picture postcard winter wonderland week. Thank you to the whole team at L'Hermine Blanche for making it so special.

Great little hotel and the food is great too. View from the balcony was stunning.

Rooms are a little small and the bathroom tiling is questionable, but they were perfectly clean.

Pool and jacuzzi were well received after a day in the mountains. Pool could do with being open during the day for non skiers.

Some might not like the walk to and from the town, especially with ski gear, but we found it a nice stroll and there is a free bus stop right outside, though we never used it.

Would definitely come back here if skiing in Morzine again.

Stayed in both winter and summer, both times the staff and food was amazing. The location is perfect for the lifts and the pool in the summer was amazing to just laze by.
Definitely going again

So far the stay has been very comfortable a good selection at breakfast and a lively evening meal, lack of choice but the food is very good

We stayed here last season. Great location and amazing staff - really made the holiday one of the best we've had in morzine. Go for a premium room and save your appetite for Enri the chefs dinners. (I think thats his name anyway!) The food is too good! we'll be back!!!

I stayed in the Hermine Blanche with my husband and two daughters aged 12 and 10. We all had an amazing holiday and we didn't want to leave. Everything was just perfect - the staff, the rooms, the facilities, the food and the other guests . The hotel has a very friendly feel to it - the location is fab - everything you need is in walking distance and I wish I was there now !!!! Morzine is absolutely beautiful and the Hermine Blanche has one of the finest positions for views and sunshine !! The pool was great for the girls and they had lots of fun with their 'new' friends each afternoon whilst enjoying yummy afternoon cake and hot chocolate. After a full day of activities that Morzine brings the Hermine Blance has a feel of home !! I would definately recommend .
