Then, the hotel was managed by Berthe, wife of Pépé Luc, mountain guide, who only came to replenish the wine cellar, and for breakfast when he would frequently arrive with a lamb which he would feed from a baby's bottle! In the 1960's, after the death of his mother, Jeannot Tournier took charge of the hôtel. Managed by his wife Nicole, the panoramic roof pool was added, together with the building extension facing the Tourist Office. At that time the terrace area was in fact an ice rink (in winter) and summer terrace. Jeannot Tournier was a well known individual in town, exponent of the ski patinette and the first to practice «clown skiing» mastering the skill of skiing on stilts! Subsequently discovered by Walt Disney, with whom he spent 2 years filming in America, he met many famous actors - including Sean Connery.With a stay at Park Hotel Suisse & Spa, you'll be centrally located in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, steps from Chamonix Church and Casino Barriere Chamonix.
