Accommodation
Montana Lodge & Spa
The deluxe Hotel Montana Lodge & Spa has been built in traditional style in harmony with the surrounding Val d’Aosta architecture and is a real step up in quality for the area. Discreet on the outside but elegant and luxurious once inside, designed using reclaimed local timber blending in with modern design pieces to create a warm and sumptuous atmosphere. The superb Montana Lodge & Spa features a swimming pool, sauna and steam room.
Miramonti Hotel & Wellness
The elegant Miramonti Hotel is set in the heart of the attractive old village, with all the bars, shops and restaurants on your doorstep. It is a 5-10min walk to the lift or the hotel has a shuttle. Originally built in 1887, this traditional alpine property offers a high standard of comfort with lots of exposed wood in the rooms, interior stone walls and modern facilities. The hotel is great for couples, groups and families alike, with a varied choice of room types, from smart small single rooms to spacious family suites.
Locanda Collomb
Locanda Collomb is a charming, traditional, family owned and run, boutique bed and breakfast with just 8 individually decorated rooms. An alpine home away from home, with wooden clad walls, rustic furniture, an open fire and a large collection of books, creating a cosy atmosphere. It is located in the upper part of the old village, a short stroll from the centre and 10 minutes or convenient resort shuttle bus away from the lifts.
Hotel Boton d’Or
A real gem of a bed and breakfast hotel in what we think is the perfect location – as convenient as possible for skiing with the main cable car less than 200 metres away and the old village centre still walkable in the evening. That said one of our favourite restaurants, the Coppapan, is right next door and the hotel has its own lovely in house bar and lounge! The comfortable rooms are beautifully furnished with light wood, giving a warm alpine atmosphere.
