The brand new Grand Hotel Cervino opens its doors this season, offering guests touches of luxury throughout their stay. It's located at the foot of the Gran Becca, which means you get great views - every room here looks out along the snowy valley or the incredible mountain range surrounding the hotel.

The hotel operate a shuttle service every day to both the lifts and Cervinia's centre up until half ten each evening, so getting around couldn't be easier. This is particularly handy if you want to check out the après scene in town. Options range from sophisticated wine bars hidden down cobbled streets to bars at the foot of the slopes. Expect flaming drinks and music that will get you up on the tables having plenty of fun.

Back at the hotel things are somewhat calmer. Nowhere more so than the hotel's impressive wellness area where you can enjoy great facilities like the sauna and steam room or simply float around in the pool. Don't lounge about too long though as you certainly won't want to miss the three-course evening meals that await you each day. At the end of each day, enjoy chatting in the hotel bar and make the most of the local wines and drinks on offer.
