Piccard Nº 5

The welcome and hospitality were fantastic, and we’re already making plans to return next year. We stayed over New Year 2019-2020, two adults with our children aged 17, 16 and 11. The apartment was perfect for us, spacious, with a great balcony view and two bathrooms, one for each bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. It’s only a few minutes on foot to the lift and slopes, with restaurants nearby and SPAR just around the corner. We really recommend it. Best wishes, Karin and Erik with family.

The one thing to bear in mind is access: there’s no lift, and you have to climb two flights of stairs, so it may not suit anyone with limited mobility. Otherwise, this was one of the best apartments we’ve stayed in across more than 30 years of leisure and business travel. We had the right-hand one of the two penthouse apartments. It was spacious, tastefully furnished with quality materials and equipment, and had a huge terrace with unobstructed views, two loungers and a table with six chairs. The combined living, dining and kitchen area had an L-shaped sofa, an armchair and a six-seat dining table. The kitchen was fully equipped, with an oven, microwave, dishwasher, four-burner electric cooktop, fridge-freezer and all sorts of utensils. There were two large bedrooms for two, each with a big en-suite bathroom; one also had a sofa bed, better suited to kids. Covered parking and a ski room are downstairs. Check-in and checkout were smooth through the Riml sports store beneath the building, open 08:30-18:30, with efficient arrangements available outside those hours. The location is very central, about a 100-meter mostly flat walk to the two main gondolas, Spar, shops, restaurants and bars.
