With plenty of Italian style and flourish and an intimate feel, the Cristallo is a lovely chalethotel in a perfect location. Sitting in a quiet side street off the pedestrianised Via Roma, the Cristallo is in the heart of the ski resort in the middle of the cafes, the restaurants and the most stylish of shops. In the morning an easy five minute walk takes you to the main cable car, unencumbered by skis and boots which are conveniently left in lockers on the slopes.
Inside the Cristallo you will find loads of charm and personality. Stone floors are covered with big rugs, the walls are panelled with carved wood and hung with pictures of local history. Antique furniture and the use of deep colours give the bar and lounge a feeling of warmth and elegance. In the dining room the convivial atmosphere continues, with large tables for dining with friends - or, if you prefer, a table for two.
Bedrooms here are comfortable, most are roomy and have been decorated with care. All the rooms have ensuite facilities with a bath or shower and WC, and some can take an extra bed. For those wanting a room of their own, the Cristallo has two single rooms.
No children under 16 years of age except during school holiday periods when children from 7 years and upwards are welcome.
From the moment you arrive at the airport, our ski hosts are on hand to help. They will accompany you on the transfer from the airport to resort, answering any ski questions you might have. Thereafter, they'll guide you on the slopes finding the best snow conditions, the shortest lift queues and the best lunch stops - with a table reserved in advance.
Ski hosting is available 5 days of the week. There are three ski hosting groups for you to join, each split according to level of ability and speed. You can join the group for leisurely, intermediate or advanced skiers for half of the day or the whole day, or switch groups whenever you wish. It's up to you.
Ski hosting groups meet after breakfast at 9am and all groups stop for lunch at the same restaurant, giving you the chance to catch up with friends, family and fellow guests. Choose to continue in the afternoon with the group or take time out to do your own thing. At the end of the day our hosts will accompany you back to the hotel for a well deserved cup of tea.
Our hosts are advanced skiers and know the resort intimately, but they are not instructors or accredited mountain guides. If you are a beginner we can assist you in arranging lessons with the local ski school.
For those looking to ski off-piste, we recommend booking a day with Gianni Carbone, a qualified mountain guide with many years experience. In addition to off-piste skiing, Gianni can arrange ski mountaineering, ice climbing and heli-skiing.
Intermediate skiers and more advanced can enjoy a variety of off-piste terrain, including the famous Vallée Blance from Courmayeur into the Chamonix Valley. The route starts at Ounta Helbronner, followed by a scenic and leisurely 4-5 hour descent before the bus ride back to Italy. Alternatively you can explore the wide slopes, high fir woods and powdery snow of Val Veny or discover the Toula Glacier.
Gianni visits the chalethotel Cristallo at the start of your holiday to discuss his services and any questions that you might have.
For relaxation after an energetic day on the mountain, relax in the hotel's sauna on the ground floor.
Just a short taxi or bus ride 3kms from Courmayeur at Prè Saint Didier, is a fantastic spa and wellbeing centre. There are hydrotherapy baths, 3 outdoor heated pools with some of the best views of the mountains, tranquil treatment rooms and hot tubs and saunas. Why not take the afternoon off from the slopes and enjoy some holiday indulgement with the ultimate relaxation.
The Chalethotel Cristallo is exclusively adult only outside school holidays (over 16yrs).
The 34 room hotel is the perfect place for relaxing after a days skiing with a small intimate bar and a dining room with large tables for dining with friends, or if you prefer a table for two. There is also a Jacuzzi and sauna for total relaxation. Bedrooms here are comfortable, most are roomy and have been decorated with care. All the rooms have ensuite facilities with a bath or shower and WC and some can take an extra bed. For those wanting a room of their own, the Cristallo has two single rooms
