Chaume de Balveurche
Two stars, a hot tub, and the mountains right outside.
A place to stay in Xonrupt-Longemer
Chaume de Balveurche is a two-star hotel in Xonrupt-Longemer, in French mountain country, rated 4.3/5 across 283 guest reviews. The formula is simple: five non-smoking room types, a restaurant and bar, and a spa lounge with a hot tub. Most guests come for the outdoors. Hiking, cycling and skiing sit on the activity list, water sports run on site, and the tour desk helps plan walking routes and bike tours. Back at the hotel, a terrace, sun deck and picnic area take in the mountain air, while free parking and free wifi keep the practical side easy. Evenings sometimes bring live music and themed dinners.
Who this stay suits
Expect a straightforward two-star mountain hotel where the spa, restaurant and outdoor programme do more than the star rating suggests.
Best for
- Hikers, cyclists and skiers
- Couples after a budget spa weekend
- Drivers, since parking is free
- Families wanting simple, flexible rooms
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting luxury finishes
- Anyone who wants every activity included, as several carry extra charges
Terrace, sun deck and picnic area
The hotel backs its mountain setting with usable outdoor space: a terrace, a sun deck, a picnic area and outdoor furniture for slow afternoons. One room type looks toward the mountains, and the views are part of the reason to book here.
Spa lounge and hot tub
The wellness setup is modest but real: a dedicated spa lounge and relaxation area, plus a hot tub. After a day hiking, cycling or skiing, it gives the stay a second dimension that most two-star properties don't attempt.
Five rooms, one with a view
Rooms are non-smoking and kept simple: standard and economy doubles with full beds, a twin, and a triple with disability access that sleeps three. The one to ask for is the Double Room with Mountain View, which pairs a queen bed with the scenery.
Dinner and live music nights
The on-site restaurant covers meals, with special diet menus on request and kids' meals for families. Evenings sometimes bring live music performances and themed dinners, and the bar pours wine and champagne. More going on than the two stars suggest.
