Your ski hire is handily located in the same building as the hotel, too. And once you’re kitted up and slope-ready, it’s little more than a stroll across the square to the lifts.Perfecto.
The hotel’s mid-century modern look makes it a swish spot, with a mix of natural materials, sleek furnishings, light-flooding windows and open-plan spaces. Its many facilities mean you’re bound to enjoy yourself off the mountain. Go from your last run of the day straight to the sunny terrace bar, where you can savour a refreshing tipple with mountain views.
