Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
True to its name, this hotel has the feel of an elegant home in the Alps with a profusion of wood, an open fire, individually styled guestrooms and a renovated spa.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Entrèves is a quiet hamlet directly beneath Mont Blanc, five minutes north of central Courmayeur.
The rooms
Rooms are lined with white fir boiserie and exposed beams, furnished with antique Alpine pieces and vintage prints.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool connects indoors to the open air, fitted with a waterfall, whirlpool jets, and timber loungers.
The spa
Treatments use local mountain herbs, and thermal spaces include a Finnish sauna at 90 degrees Celsius and wooden tubs.
L’Aubergine Restaurant
Regional Valle d'Aosta cuisine is served by a crackling fireplace in winter and on an outdoor terrace facing Mont Blanc.
At the table
The Grignotage Bar sits beside an open fireplace, serving aperitifs, infusions, and traditional snacks beneath exposed ceiling beams.
How it began
Local hotelier Leo Garin built the chalet in 1996 to house his personal collection of Alpine art and antiques.
