The Sertorelli Sport Hotel nails the balance between location and laid-back luxury. It’s just a five-minute walk to the Plan Maison gondola and cable car, giving you fast access to the epic Cervinia–Zermatt ski area. Run by a local family, the hotel combines friendly, polished service with plenty of mountain charm – ideal whether you're up for first lifts or cruising in after a long day on the slopes.

One of the huge draws here is the spa, and it doesn’t disappoint. We're talking three hot tubs, several saunas and a seriously serene relaxation zone – all perfect for easing off post-piste. There’s a well-equipped gym if you’ve still got energy to burn and a playroom to keep both big and little kids happy.

Rooms are a stylish take on classic alpine – think wood-panelled walls, soft lighting, and big comfy beds. Some come with mountain views and balconies that are perfect for enjoying an après tipple. The half board set-up is spot on too: breakfast includes fresh pastries, local cheese and meats, and strong Italian coffee, while dinner mixes hearty regional dishes with fine-dining flair – homemade pasta, rich stews, and great wine to match.
