And when you're ready to swap skis for shoes, the charming village centre is just a short stroll away, with a handful of restaurants, shops and bars to explore.

Inside, it’s all about Alpine charm with a comfy, relaxed vibe. Rooms are snug and simple – with some offering mountain views worth waking up early for. Mornings kick off with a buffet breakfast packed with choice, from fresh fruit and yoghurt to made-to-order omelettes. After a day swooshing down the mountain, you’ll be sitting down to a delicious 3-course Italian dinner – hearty, homely, and just what you need. And if you fancy a drink, the bar’s the perfect spot to toast your turns with a warming drink and a bit of slope-side storytelling.

After a full day in the snow, some serious chill time is in order. Sink into the hot tub, ease those ski legs in the sauna, or just kick back on the sunny terrace and soak up those big blue-sky views.
