The winter reviews for this hotel had little mention of the skiing, which was a little disconcerting when making the booking - as this was my primary reason for travel, though I was also looking for somewhere a bit special. Anyway, I need not have worried - everything turned out fabulously. The hotel is beautiful, we had a gorgeous suite, with a view of Mont Blanc (clouds permitting), the spa, its grotto and treatments was sensational - and the food was also superlative. The hotel run a shuttle to Courmayeur, but we chose to drive - which was easy, with good parking just below the cable car. We also skiied in La Thuile, and would have gone to Pila had time allowed. All stations within easy drive distance. So a typical day started with a delicious breakfast, then off for a hard day on the piste, and return back for tea & cakes, followed by a soak in our own private hot tub watching the sunset, topped off by some wonderful Italian cuisine - bliss.
