This hotel has a very friendly and professional staff and they make you feel at home immediately. Location is for the solitude seeking person, couples or families and the small village itself is a quiet place in the middle of the mountains. It is great that the hotel has their own free taxi service to the nearest ski lift. Monte Rosa ski area is worthy of another story with its huge off-piste skiing possibilities!

I wish to thank Hotel Lo Scoiattolo´s personnel for exceptionary good and caring service during our holiday from the end of Jan to beginning of Feb 2011.
Service was excellent throughout our visit but in addition our friend experienced magnificent care after being broken her knee in the slopes on the second day. The hotel staff drove her from the doctor from 10 km away, visited the pharmacist for her and helped her to and from her room when needed.

Hotels staff`s commitment is exceptional. I am happy to recommend their hotel for anybody visiting Gressonay-la-Trinite.

... at least a 4*

Myself and 4 friends have just had a marvellous long weekend at this hotel, and we were blown away byt this place. The hotel is brand new and fitted to a high standard. The rooms are large and comfortable, the restaurant has a wide variety of excellent foods and the staff are freindly. The ski facilities are superb, and the door to lift service is fast, reliable and frequent. We paid €240 to get a 1-way taxi transfer from Malpensa which took only 2 hours and well worth it (vs a car hire alternative).

The skiing will bore you for a week if you like to pound the slopes, but for 4 days there is loads to do.

Compared to anywhere in France, Italy is head and shoulders above and Gressoney is a little known gem that we will all now return to time and again - and the hotel did nothing to make us look elsewhere in future. Only full capacity will prevent us returning here.

Val D'Isere in December was €4,5 for a coke, €16 for Spaghetti, €7 for a small beer. Gressoney by contrast will give 4 adults lunch on the slopes with a bottle of wine for €25.

The only downside is the lack of nightlife - but this is made up for by virtually no lift queues....

Stayed here first week in Jan 2011. Hotel had just reopened after major refurb. Rooms were new, spacious, with good quality fittings and furnishings.

Good food - buffet breakfast with choice of 3 courses for dinner. Nice bar and cosy lounge for a few Bombardinos after skiing. Small but welcome spa with steam room, sauna, jacuzzi etc.

Gressoney la Trinite doesn't have much of a social scene apart from a great wine bar by the church - the guy who runs it does a good wine tasting evening - check out the Torrettes.

The resort isn't suited to beginners which is a pity because it's beautiful. Only 4 blue runs in total, but some pretty straightforward reds at Stafal and Punta Jolanda.

Best ski hire deal was with Laurent ski hire on the right before you get to Stafal - €65 for a week for skis/boots/poles/helmet! Lift passes are around €190 for 6 days.

We put our package together independently and saved about £200 each on brochure prices.

First week in January was so quiet - no queues for lifts, piste to yourselves and great weather.

Would definitely go again next year but would need a bit more practice to get the most out of the resort
