The hotel has been lovingly and stylishly transformed from a mountain refuge into a cosy, comfortable hotel providing all modern amenities, whilst retaining all its authenticity, with its austere granite exterior, its rustic alpine décor and its mountain atmosphere. In summer, the hotel provides a very practical starting point for a number of interesting walks. A truly unique experience!
