Lush fabrics and modern art grace the beautifully appointed interiors enhanced by mountain views. Guest rooms and suites, most with balconies, feature gas log fireplaces, down-filled sofas and marble bathrooms. Across the gondola plaza is a collection of exclusive, private residences with large outdoor decks or balconies and amenities including a rooftop pool.

The health centre features a heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi; a dedicated Ski Concierge service encompasses boot warming, overnight ski tuning, daily weather reports, fresh pastries in the morning and cookies in the afternoon.
