December in advance: create your own moment

Winter hasn’t fully arrived. The days are crisp, and snow still hesitates to fall. Somewhere in the attic, the boxes of lights begin to call. In the valleys, there’s barely a sound—as if the whole world is holding its breath.

In Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, time moves differently. It stretches out, slows down, invites us to observe the early signs of winter. At the Hameau du Renard Blanc, December begins softly—a gentle moment before the festive rush, a time to yourself.

The landscape before the rush

Au travers de la forêt et des arbres dénudés, le vert profond des majestueux sapins ressort. Les premiers signes apparaissent : lumières sur les balcons, guirlandes allumées, odeur de feu bois et d’écorce. Les chalets — White Fox, Silver Fox, Red Fox et Grey Fox Through bare trees and quiet woods, the deep green of towering firs stands out. Signs of the season begin to appear: balcony lights glowing, garlands gently lit, the scent of woodsmoke and bark in the air. The chalets — White Fox, Silver Fox, Red Fox and Grey Fox — breathe a sense of peace, ready to host precious reunions.

We hesitate between boots and slippers, beanie or thick blanket. We don’t yet know what’s coming—but anything feels possible. Here, December doesn’t wait. You meet it early, with curiosity and quiet excitement.

A Moment of your own

Christmas is no longer about ticking boxes. It’s not a set date—it’s an invitation. A moment to create, ahead of the rush, at your own pace.

One family reshapes its holiday traditions. A group of friends invents a festive dinner without the countdown. A company brings its team together in a place that’s far from ordinary. Guests gather in small groups or large tables, to celebrate on their terms, before everyone else.

The program takes shape with your wishes: a festive dinner, a shared brunch, a tree decorated together, fireside conversations, a giant game of Clue, a Christmas movie marathon, outdoor drinks by the brazier, a group cooking class… Everything is in place to reinvent the holidays, in a space designed for just that—without pressure, without pre-packaged formulas. dans un lieu conçu pour ça, sans pression ni formule imposée.

The Hameau, a pioneer of pleasure

Each chalet has its own balconies, inviting you to step outside just long enough to pink your cheeks—wrapped in a blanket, slippers on, back inside just in time for tea.

For those seeking more, the mountains open wide. Head out for an impromptu adventure, or let the Hameau’s concierge service arrange something tailored: a snowshoe walk, a tasting, a mindful escape. And when you return? Comfort awaits. Sink into the jacuzzi, warm up in the hammam, stretch out by the fire—the flames already dancing.
