"As Alpine resorts go, Cogne is low-key. Though close to the Swiss border and within easy reach of the Piedmont wine region, it’s tucked away in a quiet and relatively undeveloped corner of the Aosta Valley, on the edge of Italy’s oldest national park, the fittingly named Gran Paradiso. It’s not, in other words, the kind of place where new boutique hotels are opening every season. Bellevue Hotel & Spa, for instance, is a family-owned, and it’s been in business for almost a century — just after the park was founded, even before the concept of a modern ski resort existed around here." - Tablet Hotels
