Overview
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Orsia near Gressoney, the Locanda del Lysjoch offers a traditional alpine retreat at the foot of Monte Rosa. Surrounded by mountain scenery, it combines a quiet location with convenient access to the ski area, thanks to a ski bus stop just a minute’s walk away and a short ride to the lifts.
The hotel has a classic mountain character, with wood and stone interiors, warm lighting, and a cosy atmosphere throughout. Rooms are simple, comfortable, and traditionally styled, featuring inviting colours and authentic alpine touches that reflect the local setting.
Breakfast is served buffet-style with a selection of hot and cold options, including regional cheeses, cold cuts, fruit, and freshly prepared omelettes. Guests can choose to upgrade to half board, which includes hearty three-course evening meals, or dine from the à la carte menu, showcasing regional specialities from the Aosta Valley and Piedmont. Traditional dishes such as carbonade, ravioli, soups, game, local desserts, and regional wines feature prominently, with some recipes still prepared on a wood-burning stove for added authenticity.
After a day on the slopes, the hotel’s welcoming pub provides a relaxed setting to enjoy a drink and unwind in a friendly, informal atmosphere.

About Gressoney
Both parts of Gressoney, Trinité and St Jean, have access to the Monterosa Ski area. St Jean is a short drive away from the lifts, while you can ski to your door at Trinité. St Jean is the prettier and larger of the two, but Trinité has been described as "a pleasant, friendly little resort with a lot of character", while the "surrounding area is lovely, with great scenery and picturesque villages".
St Jean also has more restaurants, shops and accommodation. Both are good value. Generally, après-ski is quiet in the 2 resorts. This isn't party territory - you won't be able to buy cigarettes anywhere in Trinité, so you'll just have to try this whole “health” thing…
Gressoney has some of the best skiing in the Monterosa (200km of runs). Snow reliability is very good, thanks to the high altitude and machines. There is great terrain for intermediates, while better skiers have access to the excellent off-piste at Alagna. Beginners have lots of good slopes, but they are located all over the ski area and not particularly well-linked. There are minimal queues, due to excellent lifts and good links to Champoluc.
If you should happen to find yourself stuck up in the mountains, there are some great refuges where you can eat and sleep until the next day. Trinité and St Jean are great for accessing fun, varied terrain, while both have different strengths and weaknesses.
