"A midcentury-priced, midcentury-cool anomaly amid 1850’s luxe, this Beaumier-run hideout spruces chalet wood paneling with red retro chairs and Scandinavian lamps, and every room has a balcony over the slopes or valley. The vibe is laid-back and local at L’Epicerie, where a hip crowd shares smoked trout, stew, and Croque Monsieur with grison beef in rustic-meets-retro surrounds. A small spa, pool, ski shop, and direct-to-slope boot room keep skiers humming, and those not skiing are a short, picturesque walk from La Croisette’s boutiques, patisserie, and sleigh rides—no gym required when the thigh-burners are a few lifts away." - Rosalyn Wikeley
