Our Apartments

  Be part of Marco's family at Punta C1an - We have stayed with the Gorret family at Punta Cian many times since 2003. They have always treated us as friends of the family, providing an excellent welcome, good... read more straight forward food, excellent comfortable accommodation, and anything we needed to make our trip complete. And now they even have a minibus to take you to the Valtournenche lift (5mins), so you don't need a car or the service bus.
If you want an excellent value for money, chilled out skiing holiday and you want to rest in the evenings rather than party, this is the place for you. You can ski from Vatournenche, where lift queues are rare and pistes uncrowded, all the way to Zermatt and back (providing you get up early enough in the morning!!)

  The fact that we returned says it all. Everything in the last review still applies. It's a hidden gem! Family run, personal touch, very helpful. Ideal location to ski or... read more simply to get lost in the quiet.

  The hotel is small, has some 10 rooms. Located by the local road, no extreme slopes to reach it. Hosts are very pleasant and helpful persons. Rooms are clean, average... read more size, bathrooms (shower) quite small. Free WiFi and parking. Owners offer free mini-bus service to Valtournenche ski-lifts (~2,5 km), two rides in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn't use it, because it was more convenient to use rented car. The food is good and very plentiful, especially dinner. For the dinner there is a choice from two first, two second courses and two options of dessert plus buffet of salads and cheese. The wine is good and inexpensive, 7,5-10 eur/0,7 ltr. Tap water is tasty and free. There is almost nothing to do around the hotel in the evenings. Valtournenche itself is 2 kms away, reachable only by car, no chance to walk, steep road with no pavement. The only bar is on the ground floor of the hotel, try Caffè alla valdostana prepared by the owner, great. Lots of various local good and inexpensive grappas. Take a book, there are only Italian and couple of French channels on TV.
