Guests of this Alpine chalet-style hotel often book to come back at check out. And it’s because this family-owned (it’s been managed by the Cerboneschi family since 1963) space puts tradition at the forefront. Plus, it’s all in the detail: wooden headboard with sweet carvings, natural stone flooring, fluffy down-filled duvets and the most charming views over the mountains. Choose a room wisely, some have fireplaces, others have bunkbeds for the little ones. The bar is a village hub of sorts – everyone who visits Val d’Isere comes here for a drink before dinner or post-feast tipple.
