I had a cozy stay at this hotel situated right on the piste, close to the lifts. The rooms were small but really nice and practical. The service was top-notch, especially in catering to our daughter's lactose-free needs. The location is simply fabulous, with stunning views and superb staff. However, the dining was quite expensive for no particular reason.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable with a nice balcony view of the ski runs, although there were some issues with the shower and accessories. The staff was great overall, especially in catering to our daughter's allergies, but there were moments of inefficiency. The location was outstanding right on the piste with stunning views but lacked a bit in dining options. The facilities were decent with heated ski lockers.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, equipped with a balcony offering a stunning view of the ski runs. The heated ski lockers were a bonus for convenient storage, and the availability of a socket on the wall was helpful. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive staff making sure our stay was comfortable. The location couldn't have been better, right on the piste with easy access to ski lifts and a fabulous view down the mountain. Although the dining was a bit on the expensive side, the overall facilities provided added value to the stay.

The hotel is a little gem located right on the piste, offering a fabulous experience with wonderful staff. The rooms are practical and nicely designed, featuring spacious accommodations with bunk beds for children, and a balcony to enjoy the stunning views. The dining, while having Neapolitan pizza, can be on the expensive side. It's a fabulous location next to ski lifts, but could be a bit pricey considering the dining costs.
