FOR THE ULTIMATE RUSTIC-CHIC EXPERIENCE: Hotellerie

de Mascognaz, Champoluc, Italy

Situated high above the resort of Champoluc, tucked away in the mountains,
the rest of the world seems so far away. Accessible by skidoo, rides up and
down the mountain are simply breathtaking. The resort comprises several
restored farmhouses, which offer the ultimate rustic-chic experience complete

with exposed beams and roaring log fires. There is even a fantastic spa with
an indoor pool, sauna, and steam room.

FOR A STATE OF THE ART WELLNESS CENTRE:

FOR THE PERFECT BLEND OF ALPINE CHARM,
COMFORT, AND EFFICIENCY:

Omnia, Zermatt, Switzerland

Valluga Hotel, St Anton, Austria

Imagine a traditional mountain lodge with a contemporary twist. Located
in the very heart of Zermatt, perched 45m high on a rock above the town,
the beautiful south-facing sun terrace and restaurant offers amazing views
of the Matterhorn. The wellness centre is state of the art with magnificent
views from the enormous glass windows that surround the whirlpool, plus
an indoor and outdoor pool. The typical idea of a mountain lodge has been
reinvented in architecture, design, materials, and craftsmanship to reflect
the modern alternative.
