You dreamed of spending a night in the paradise of the Mottets? Well, it will come true. It is a real air bubble that I invite you to come and take.Facing the majestic Drus and suspended in the trees of the Mottets forest, snuggle up in your cocoon, gaze at the stars and let yourself be lulled by the murmur of sleeping nature, thanks to a transparent bubble tent. (Curtains can be closed for added privacy). Above all, I want this adventure to remain unusual for everyone, and that's why I'm installing four mini-bubbles and a maxi family bubble on the site, so that adventurers wishing to spend a night at Les Mottets can also be unusual and intimate. It's a baptism of air that's a bit special, but a baptism of immersion in the heart of nature under a roof of stars, suspended from the trees. Better than a 4-star, 1 million-star tent, you'll be able to observe the stars directly from your comforter. Program: traditional dinner with sunset over the mountains, overnight stay in a suspended bubble, breakfast with sunrise over the Drus. Tempted? Book now.

The natural site of the Mer de Glace comes from the glaciers of Leschaux and Géant. The Mer de Glace is the largest glacier in France: 7 km long, 40 km2 in area, 200 m thick, altitude 1913 m.Soak up the high mountain atmosphere of the place, contemplating the Drus (3754m), and the Grandes Jorasses (4208m), mythical summits that have seen so many mountaineers illustrate themselves in their faces. In 1741, the Englishmen Windham and Pocock, ignoring the local superstitions, visited the famous "glaciers" of the Chamonix valley, considered at the time as haunts of demons. Despite dire predictions, they came down alive and described for the first time what they called the Mer de Glace. 1880, the Grand Hôtel du Montenvers was inaugurated, the time when mules and sedan chairs brought the first tourists to the site, at an altitude of 1913m. In 1892, the project to build a railroad to reach Montenvers was launched. It aroused fierce opposition from Chamonix residents who feared the alteration of their valley and wanted to protect the jobs of the guides and muleteers. 1908, on August 9th, the line opened up to the place called "Caillet".
