Gite Michel Fagot

Gite Michel Fagot, located in Les Houches in the Chamonix valley, is a welcoming and authentic mountain retreat set in the historic building of the village's old school. It offers a comfortable stay with 34 beds, catering mainly to outdoor enthusiasts, including those embarking on the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc or keen skiers ready to explore the nearby slopes. The gîte is just 500 meters from the Bellevue cable car, giving it a prime position for those aiming to ascend Mont Blanc.

Its accommodations are designed with practicality in mind, featuring a combination of small dormitories and a private room setup. This includes three rooms with four beds, two six-bed rooms, a shared eight-bed dormitory, and a double room for couples.

The on-site restaurant, La Grande Tablée, supports guests with a homemade, locally sourced culinary offering. Here, meals are served in a convivial atmosphere that encourages guests to connect, making it a comfortable spot to unwind over dinner. In warmer months, guests benefit from pleasant outdoor views of the Aiguille du Midi from the courtyard, while in cooler times, the interior transforms into a cozy haven. For skiers who skip lunch during busy days, the restaurant opens early in the evening to welcome them back with substantial fare.

Gite Michel Fagot's location offers practical benefits too, such as easy access to local shops and transport links. A free parking area nearby and provisions for ski equipment, along with convenient bus routes, make it well-suited for both short and extended stays. Families, small groups, and larger social gatherings can make the most of the venue's rustic dining setup and central communal spaces, ensuring a memorable group holiday.
