Pop-art ski lodge
The lodge trades dark timber and hunting motifs for bright colours and a playful pop-art spirit.

Notable
Varnished concrete bathrooms meet custom graffiti cow sculptures painted by artist JonOne.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms are simple, fun, with some slightly rustic touches and an eclectic, almost bohemian style that feels somehow more like the work of a collector or a curator than a traditional designer.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The ski front and village shops sit just steps away on Rue Noël Machet.

The rooms
Eclectic furnishings brighten simple bedrooms, and varnished concrete bathrooms have tubs in nearly every category.
The spa
Massages and facials take place in a dedicated treatment room, set beside a Finnish sauna and hammam.
The gym
The gym has cardio equipment and weights, and seasonal Hatha yoga classes run on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Restaurant Ormelune
French alpine dinners include roasted veal chops and prawn risotto. In the morning, breakfast looks out over snowdrifts.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from Pointe d'Ormelune, a rugged alpine peak straddling the French-Italian border.
