“Nestled high in the mountains, this hotel's biggest draw is its unparalleled access to the slopes, the nearby Medeu ice rink, and views from nearly every room. It's hard to deny the appeal of having both a sauna and a heated pool after a day of winter sports; plus, its restaurant serves up a solid international menu. If you want an adventure-filled holiday with breathtaking scenery, this is a place to consider.”
