Eco-friendly hotel in Chamonix
Doubly certified Green Key & Eco-friendly
An alpine chalet committed to the mountains, in the heart of the Alps
An eco-friendly hotel in the mountains, doubly committed
In the heart of the Alps, theHotel Jeu de Paume is one of the few chalets in the Chamonix Mont-Blanc valley to accumulate the international label Green Key for accommodation and the macaron Eco-friendly for his restaurant The RosebudBehind these two distinctions lies a concrete, measured approach, and a simple conviction. Living in the mountains means taking care of them.Under the leadership of Elsa, the director, the team re-examines its actions, suppliers, and consumption every day. Here's how.
Our two labels
Two independent requirements, two audits, two public commitments — to give travellers reliable benchmarks.
Green Key — the hotel
Created in 1998, Green Key is the first international ecolabel for tourist accommodation and restaurants. To be certified, the establishment must meet the following criteria: 120 criteria divided into seven themes: environmental policy, raising awareness among staff and customers, water management, waste management, energy management, responsible purchasing, and quality of life. Audits are regular and impartial.
Ecotable — The Rosebud
In February 2026, our restaurant The Rosebud landed his first Ecotable macaronThanks to the scientific platform IMPACTWe now measure our carbon footprint, our waste and the origin of each ingredient. 100% of our suppliers have been auditedThe result: a seasonal menu, short supply chains in Haute-Savoie, and animal welfare as a non-negotiable requirement.
The Rosebud, an eco-responsible restaurant in Chamonix
The label Eco-friendly concerns our restaurant The RosebudWe are in the process of doing so. proud In February 2026, The Rosebud became the first restaurant in the Chamonix valley to earn an Écotable award.
Écotable is a demanding French label that recognizes restaurants committed to clear values: short circuitsworking with the local artisans and producers, and the preferred use of seasonal produce, vegetables and fruitsCooking with what grows around us, at the right time, in the right hands: this is chef Mathilde Walisko's daily commitment.
More than just a star in the guides, the Écotable macaron is a commitment to transpaenceWe are no longer content with simply cooking locally: we are proving our commitment, ingredient by ingredient, kilo by kilo.
- 100% of suppliers audited via the Ecotable IMPACT platform: origin, carbon footprint, production conditions.
- Sourcing in Haute-Savoie : producers sharing our values, meats and cheeses from the valley, seasonal vegetables.
- Strict seasonality and valorization of plant products — less waste, more creativity.
- Animal well-being and respect for natural cycles as a daily requirement.
- Scientific measurement of our carbon footprint and our bio-waste, to set quantified targets and revisit them.
Our ambition is clear: to make Rosebud the most eco-friendly restaurant in ChamonixEach plate served brings us closer to that goal.
