September, the Season of Silence

September often gets a bad reputation. Too late for summer, too early for winter. But at 1,300 metres above sea level, nestled between Saint-Gervais and Megève, the Hameau du Renard Blanc reveals a very different face. The mountain begins its gentle transformation. The sky remains high, the days are still mild. The forests slowly ignite in colour, the air sharpens, and the scent of resin and earth drifts along the trails, where autumn mushrooms begin to appear. The rush of summer fades. And silence takes its place—punctuated by the golden light and the first flakes on the high peaks.

A Quiet Interlude in the Calendar

While the world rushes back to routine, the Hameau du Renard Blanc invites you to delay your return. Or to prepare for it differently. It’s the perfect time to pause after a busy summer, reconnect with yourself, or set a new course. Forest walks, golden light, alpine views, crisp air, autumn scents… Here, September is not a lull—it’s a strength.

Slowing Down, Simply

At the Hameau, the pace really shifts. You read, you cook, you linger. You head out for a light hike, wander through the woods, watch the sun set from the balcony with a blanket over your shoulders. You sip herbal tea made from local plants, curl up in a soft armchair for an afternoon read. The youngest nap upstairs, not yet bound by school schedules, while the adults enjoy a quiet candlelit dinner. When the mountain is quiet, we rediscover what truly matters.

When the body calls for rest: outdoor jacuzzi, private hammam, crackling fire… Everything is already here. Wellness begins effortlessly.

Looking for a Little More?

For those who want to add a little extra, the Hameau du Renard Blanc offers endless possibilities:

a mushroom-foraging hike,
an electric bike ride through forests and hamlets,
an on-site massage session.

Raphaël, hospitality manager at the Hameau du Renard Blanc, can coordinate:

un a full yoga and wellness retreat,

a personalised fitness stay at altitude with a private coach,

a gentle detox getaway with fresh, local, seasonal produce.

And if you’d rather make no plans at all? That might just be the best way to be surprised.

Rethinking the Return to Work

September is a golden window for companies—Codir, Comex, Copil, Comop… The perfect time to gain perspective—literally and figuratively—and envision the future beyond the usual frameworks. The Hameau du Renard Blanc, with its landscaped grounds and welcoming chalets, offers a truly private off-site: gather around the fire, share ideas in wood-panelled lounges, re-energise your thinking in the clarity of autumn. An in-between season that inspires fresh direction.

Fewer Crowds, More Space

The four chalets — White Fox, Silver Fox, Red Fox and Grey Fox — are especially enjoyable in September. You can privatise a single chalet or reserve the entire estate (up to 36 guests in double rooms + 6 children) for an intimate getaway, a team off-site, or a weekend with family or friends.

And Getting There?
No car needed. From Le Fayet train station, the new Valléen cable car takes you directly to the village of Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, where a shuttle will be waiting to bring you to the Hameau. A true luxury: a peaceful mountain retreat, without the stress of traffic or logistics.

September at the Hameau du Renard Blanc isn’t just a break. It’s a way to reinvent the return. With slowness, without pressure—but with style. The luxury of coming back to yourself, surrounded by colour, silence, well-being… and an open mountain horizon.
