Description

Situated in the hamlet of Entreves, this delightful spa hotel was developed from an old mountain chalet and retains many of the original features. We are proud to offer the Pilier d' Angle as our flagship Half Board base in Courmayeur. The architect was keen to keep the traditional stone and wood yet combine more modern facilities in the rooms. A second chalet was added and the hotel now offers comfortable accommodation together with excellent food and an outstanding wine list. The dining room, with its roaring log fire, is welcoming and there is a cosy bar in which to enjoy a quiet drink. The new lounge bar has wide screen TV for movies or watching key sporting events. The new, attractive Serendip Spa complex is a great way to relax after your day on the slopes. It includes jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna, hot tropical rain shower, cool shower, relaxation room and offers a variety of treatments and massages.

Location

In the heart of Entreves village, the hotel is just a short walk (350 m) from the very convenient Val Veny cable car that offers direct access to the main ski area. There is also a free hotel shuttle bus. Entreves is a short drive, or fifteen minute walk, from the centre of Courmayeur.

Bedrooms

The bedrooms are traditional in style, many being wood-panelled, and all have en-suite shower/wc. There are also some attractive suites and apartments suitable for small groups or families. There are four superior rooms in the new Le Foyer chalet annexe.

About Courmayeur

Courmayeur skiing

Courmayeur, Italian neighbour to big boy Chamonix, has 100km of its own pistes, most of which cater mainly for intermediates. Advanced skiers need not panic however, as Courmayeur offers access to the all of the other resorts in the Aosta and Chamonix valleys (via the Mont Blanc Tunnel), which have a combined total of near 800km of runs. Cross-country skiers will also find 51km of excellent trails.

Courmayeur ski resort

With its views of Mont Blanc, the scenery in Courmayeur is majestic. A traditional alpine village with a car-free centre, Coumayeur has plenty of good shops, cafés and bars, where the après-ski is very much Italian in spirit. Restaurants, both on and off the mountain are top class and not overpriced. The only downside is the walk from some of the accommodation to the lifts. Courmayeur can also get swamped by the Milanese at weekends and peak season times. It's a great venue, only occasionally marred by the closure of the tunnel.
