Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel Ermitage Evian, French Alps
The Evian Resort-Hotel Ermitage is situated above the Evian Resort-Hotel Royal within the grounds of the Evian Resort and enjoys all of the same facilities, but it is very much a hotel in its own right and has its own individual personality. It is a smaller more informal hotel characterised by the presence of wood and dried flowers, with the feel of a country residence. At the Ermitage the emphasis is more on cosiness than grandeur, but the same attention to detail is evident and the decoration of the rooms combines an Anglo-Norman influence with Savoie chalet style. As it is situated in close proximity to the Evian Masters Golf course, many keen golfers prefer to stay here. As well as benefiting from the facilities at the Evian Resort-Hotel Royal, the Evian Resort-Hotel Ermitage has its own indoor and outdoor pool and spa. There is a complimentary funicular, which links to the town below. There are two restaurants and one bar, including "La Table" and its elegant cuisine. The Evian Resort-Hotel Ermitage offers a more informal and affordable alternative to the Evian Resort-Hotel Royal and is ideal for couples and families looking for a warm and friendly hotel with excellent facilities.
Room descriptions
Evian Resort Hotel Ermitage has 118 rooms and 32 suites with either a park view or a lake view and with air-conditioning at a daily charge.

The journey and how you get there
For a holiday to Hotel Ermitage, our clients fly to Geneva and then usually have the use of a hire-car for the duration of the holiday, or they arrive in their own car on a self-drive holiday, often as part of a multi-centre touring holiday (we would include a Eurotunnel crossing or a ferry crossing, depending on the itinerary), or they arrive by train, having taken the Eurostar London to Paris, and then the Lyria to Geneva. From Geneva, if you are visiting more than one hotel or want to explore the region, we recommend having a hire-car. We will arrange this for you.

About French Alps
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the French Alps allows you to experience one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the world, stretching from Lake Geneva in the north almost 230 miles south to Provence. Offering probably the finest skiing and snowboarding on the planet, the Alps are nevertheless a holiday destination for all seasons: when the snow melts, the lakes and mountains, meadows and valleys transform into a delightful summer playground for walkers and hikers. Divided into two distinct regions - Savoy and Dauphiné - the chain reaches its 15,782ft zenith on the junction of its borders with Italy. Here, the snow-capped summit of Mt Blanc is the highest mountain in Western Europe. Backdrop to a foreverness of chocolate box villages and picture postcard towns, the Alps offer a fantastic setting for a holiday, whether you're into skiing and walking, mountain-biking and river rafting, or simply travelling about in stunning scenery. Towns like Meribel, Chamonix, Courchevel and Val d'Isere are well known holiday destinations for their skiing and summer hiking, but the Alps also have some of the prettiest towns in France which you don't have to be active to enjoy, including Annecy, Chambery and Grenoble. Spectacularly situated against an amphitheatre of peaks at the confluence of the Drac and Isere rivers, Grenoble is the ‘capital of the Alps', with a bustling university town ambience and superb modern art museum; at the northern end of the French Alps, Annecy is a beautiful lakeside town, with a stunning old town, 13th century castle, and wonderful boat trips to medieval villages around the lake. From the gentle southern shores of Lake Geneva, to the clear, dark waters of Lake Annecy, from pretty alpine pastures to the rugged mountain peaks that culminate in Mont Blanc, the Alps is a land of dizzying beauty. In the summer you`ll appreciate the scent of alpine flowers by the roadside as you wind your way along mountain passes, the sound of cowbells in the distance, the odd ibex disappearing into the crags, and of course, the famous hillside vineyards. Hiker or not, there's something here for everyone to fall in love with during a holiday in the French Alps. We have selected a range of luxury hotels in the French Alps which provide the perfect location from which to explore the region. A self-drive touring holiday of the French Alps offers a wonderful opportunity to explore and discover the diversity of this stunning region.
