Lykke Hotel Chamonix
Book
We use the 4 star Lykke Hotel Chamonix for athletes travelling to Hoka UTMB Mont Blanc who want to stay close to the action without feeling surrounded by it. Set just outside the busiest streets, it sits within easy walking distance of the start and finish area, making logistics refreshingly straightforward.
Arriving here feels relaxed and unforced. The hotel has a clean, contemporary alpine feel, with open communal areas that make it easy to settle in quickly after travel or training. There’s space to sit, stretch out and decompress, whether you’re arriving early or heading back after a long day on your feet.
Your stay is on a bed and breakfast basis. Breakfast is generous and well suited to endurance athletes, with a balance of lighter options and energy-focused staples. On event days, early breakfast is available to support race and training schedules. For later meals, you’re well placed for nearby restaurants, cafés and supermarkets, giving you flexibility to eat how and when you prefer.
Recovery is where this hotel really works well for race week. There’s an indoor pool that’s ideal for light movement and loosening the legs, plus a sauna and wellness area for post-run recovery. Massage treatments can be booked if you want something more targeted. A small gym is available for mobility work and gentle activation rather than heavy sessions. Outdoor areas and terraces provide fresh air and space to reset between efforts, which is particularly valuable during a busy event week.
Rooms here are designed with rest in mind, with comfortable beds, good soundproofing and blackout curtains to support quality sleep. Modern bathrooms with walk-in showers make post-run routines easy, and many rooms offer mountain views that add to the calm, alpine feel.
