Treks and ski days, answered

How fit do we need to be?

The forest loop suits anyone who walks regularly. The lagoon and ridge days assume five to six hours on rough ground; the guides will suggest the right one at the evening briefing.

Do we need to book treks in advance?

Groups are capped at eight, so mention the treks you want in your stay request. Anything left over is offered at the front desk the evening before.

Is the skiing really ski-in, ski-out?

From late June to mid-September, when snow reaches 1,050 m, a blue run finishes at the boot room door. Early and late in the season a snowcat shuttles skiers the last stretch.

What happens when the weather turns?

The guides switch to a forest route or move the day. Paid treks cancelled by the lodge are refunded in full or moved, whichever you prefer.

Can the kitchen handle allergies?

Yes. Coeliac, vegetarian and vegan guests eat from their own version of the menu; note it in your request and Valeria plans ahead.
