Les Servages d'Armelle can host executive committees and small seminars of up to 16 people in a U-shape, and the hotel can be booked in full or in part for the group, with 10 rooms and suites. It is a 4-star hotel in two former alpine farms at Les Carroz d'Arâches, in the commune of Arâches-la-Frasse, Haute-Savoie, at the foot of the ski slopes of the Grand Massif, near Flaine and Samoëns.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells half-day and full-day seminar formulas, the half-day from 10 people. The full day includes a morning and an afternoon break, lunch, coffee and mineral water. The half-day includes a welcome coffee and one break. For an executive committee or a management retreat, the whole hotel or part of it can be privatized, which keeps the group among itself in a small house.
The meeting rooms have wifi and are accessible to people with reduced mobility. Equipment includes a paperboard, a screen and a video projector, with a television on request. Winter programs can combine work sessions with skiing: the hotel stands at the foot of the slopes and offers a ski concierge service with partner rental shops.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel has 2 seminar rooms of about 26 m² each. Each one takes up to 16 people in a U-shape, or round tables of 6 or 8 for a banquet set-up. For a meal, the restaurant receives groups on request, up to 60 to 70 people depending on the service, which allows a dinner with outside guests on the last evening of a seminar.
Accommodation
The hotel has 10 rooms and suites, split between the chalet and the main farm building. Every room has a balneo bath or a private spa, and most have a fireplace or a wood stove. Classic rooms in the chalet measure about 26 to 30 m². Prestige rooms in the farm measure about 35 m², with an individual fireplace and a balcony with a panoramic view. For a seminar, the hotel sleeps 12 people in single rooms or 24 people in double and triple rooms. A private chalet of 160 m² is also offered for rent.
Catering
The restaurant, La Terrasse, sits in an old farm at the foot of the Timalets slope, with a south-facing terrace. Chef Pascal Flécheau has run the kitchen since 2002 and works with seasonal produce from named suppliers, alongside Savoyard specialties. Breakfast is a buffet from 7:30 to 10 am, lunch is served from noon to 2 pm and dinner from 7:15 to 9:30 pm. The restaurant is closed on Mondays outside public holidays. Seminar menus are prepared on request.
History and setting
The two farms were built in 1788 for summer grazing. Armelle, a former member of the French ski team, later turned them into a hotel. The site shows a Michelin logo for the restaurant and the Authentic Hotels label. The hotel closes between seasons and reopens in December for winter, with bookings for winter 2026/2027 open. Check the opening dates before you plan a seminar outside the ski season.
Getting there
The hotel is about 10 minutes from the A40 motorway, under 1 hour from Geneva, under 2 hours from Lyon and under 5 hours from Paris by TGV. Chamonix is nearby. Pets are accepted in rooms on request. The hotel itself holds an exemption from reduced-mobility rules for its rooms, while the restaurant welcomes guests with disabilities.
