Managed by Francesca, who makes a charming host, this quality property is available to rent ‘by the room’ or for exclusive use by a larger group or maybe 2 or 3 familes.
Guests should ideally be able to ski a red run competently in order to stay at the Frantze. Access on arrival will be via the main gondola. At the top of the gondola luggage will be transported by skidoo and guests will need to ski the top few hundred metres of the Pistone run to reach the hotel.
Access to Champoluc village will require guests to ski down the Pistone run, to enjoy the facilities that the village offers and to then ascend the gondola and ski back to the hotel. The main gondola normally runs every evening at 1800, 1930, 2200 and 2330 hours, allowing guests at the Frantze to spend time in the village in the evening before returning to the hotel.
