Discover

At Hameau Albert 1er, the foremost virtue of nature is the serenity provided by the living environment and the incredible panoramic view of Mont Blanc, which is fully enjoyed from the wellness area. The writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the first to extol the benefits of the mountains in his work 'La Nouvelle Héloïse' (1761), where he wrote, 'I am surprised that baths of the salutary and beneficent mountain air are not one of the great remedies of medicine and morality.' Recognized since then, both in terms of physical and mental well-being, its numerous virtues have been further enhanced over time by the beneficial use of pools and spas, which provide a happy complement to the benefits felt in this exceptional natural setting.
