What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Built in the spirit of the local Walser tradition, with natural timber, stone, and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the massif, it is one of the more family-attuned hotels.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Monterosa ski slopes sit just up the valley, and summer trails lead toward Capanna Margherita on the massif.
The rooms
Valsesia oak floors and custom woodwork fill the chalets, with large windows looking toward the Monte Rosa massif.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated saltwater pools connect through glass doors to snowy decks, and an indoor pool has a water slide.
The spa
Slatted timber saunas and a Turkish bath warm the adult spa, and four treatment rooms use Comfort Zone products.
At the table
Chef Omar Bonecchi serves regional Valsesian dishes in the dining room, where tall windows look toward alpine chalets.
How it began
The property was built on the site of a former diocesan summer camp, opening two days before Christmas in 2015.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
