HOTEL ALPAGA

Alpaga manages to be both achingly hip and immediately homely - in the most luxurious sense of the term. The hotel looks up at Mont Blanc, and lies around a 20-minute walk from the heart of the buzzy village, where divine restaurants catering for skiers' appetites wait around every turn. The hotel itself has a range of sumptuous rooms (as well as large chalets and four apartments), most of which have balconies or patios affording lovely views of the mountains. After days spent enjoying the outdoors, the warm embrace of the atmospheric La Colline spa will be waiting, offering rejuvenating treatments, pool, steam room and outdoor sauna facing Mont Blanc. The Michelin-starred cuisine served at La Table de l'Alpaga courtesy of Christophe Schuffenecker will be similarly welcome.
