Where the snowline meets the sauna.
Twelve timber cabins on a glacial lake, a wood-fired spa and a kitchen that cooks with what the valley gives. Walk, soak, eat, sleep, repeat.
The lodge
Built by hand, warmed by fire
Our lodge began as a hay barn in 1886. It is still held together by larch pegs and good intentions.
Today there are twelve cabins, a wood-fired spa and a dining room with one long table. Nights are dark and quiet, mornings are for the lake.

“A proper city hotel with the soul of a guesthouse. The concierge's handwritten map got us to the best dinner of the year.”
