My husband and I stayed here over Christmas with a couple of friends and had a wonderful time. The Gorret family made a huge effort to make sure we enjoyed... read more our stay and are wonderful hosts.

The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable, the food was delicious and Marco is very knowledgeable about the local area and local skiing.

The ski resort of Valtournenche is a short drive away and perfect to beginners and intermediates. For those wanting a bit more of a challenge you can drive another ten minutes to Cervinia or even ski over into Zermatt.

His mother is the chef and his dad, Guido, the Bar tender and Tina is the waitress. The food is great, not fancy minimalism but heart warming after a days skiing.
The hotel is about 1.5 km from the valtournenche lift, which connects to Cervinia and Zermatt. Lots of runs in total. We had a hire car and drove right to the lift, where there is free parking. However Marco will drop you up there whenever you want and pick you up.
They are so kind, and the family really do make you feel welcome. Go...you will not regret it. More
