Reviews
Linch Family - March 2017 (Guest)
It was an amazing resort with a very good hotel and we were able to ski everywhere despite there not being any snow in the village or surrounding areas, its just brilliant, skiing in the sunshine and not having to deal with slush.
Grace Holton (Staff)
If you prefer a modern and stylish hotel, then the Col Alto is for you. The hotel has had a recent makeover, and features regenerated wood from the familys barn throughout the lounge area and local textiles on the furnishings. Rooms are modern and cosy with wooden finishing and some featuring fabulous fire places. The Suite Panorama is spacious and features a large terrace facing the mountains with a private hot tub.
Kids are catered for especially well at the Col Alto with a very large mini club and 2 games rooms for the older kids. While the kids play, the adults can enjoy the spa which features numerous different sauna and steam rooms to suit all. The pool is large, and features a salt water Jacuzzi.
The bar at the front of the hotel is the local trendy hot spot for an after dinner drink or two, open until late with a DJ too.
Ski accessibility is superb, with ski in access (snow dependent) and a free shuttle taking you from the ski room the slopes in just one minute.
