In a scenic position on the lake's southern edge, this comfortable inn has unadorned but cosy rooms with unbeatable access to hiking, fishing and cross-country skiing. The kindly owner can help arrange fishing permits. In this remote location, it's worth booking for breakfast (€10) or half-board (around €32 per person extra) – and yes, lake fish are on the menu.
The auberge spent its former life as a shelter for agricultural workers in the 18th-century, before a makeover as Grand Hôtel du Guéry in the early 20th century.
