What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A modern take on a traditional alpine lodge, this luxury hotel has bright, smartly designed rooms with parquet floors, exposed beams, rich leather detailing, and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the mountains.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Via Roma sits an easy walk downhill, with cobbled pedestrian streets lined by wine bars and Italian fashion boutiques.
The rooms
Bedrooms have parquet floors and exposed timber, and nearly all open onto private balconies facing the peaks.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wide windows look out across the snowy pines, and cervical waterfalls and hydromassage jets ripple through the heated water.
Sauna and sensory showers
Tiered timber benches line the Finnish sauna, and curved mosaic alcoves house chromatic sensory showers.
Restaurant
La Fourchette
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out at the peaks, and the kitchen serves local game ragù and Morgex salmon trout.
At the table
The Equinox terrace serves evening cocktails facing the illuminated slopes, and mornings begin around the breakfast buffet.
