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.

Hôtel AnnapurnaOther Palace hotels

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.
