The Location | Just a few minutes from the town centre
Alagna Valsesia, a small, precious gem set at the foot of Monte Rosa’s majestic peaks, is a typically Alpine village surrounded by evocative scenery and a natural environment that is still intact and unspoilt, famous the world over principally for its off-piste skiing and the remarkable Walser heritage.
For some years now, the town of Alagna has been offering its resources to tourists from Italy and abroad, with ever-greater commitment, and it is engaged in developing new facilities in order to meet the constantly growing tourist demand. The possibility of linking the ski areas of Breuil-Cervinia, Valtournanche, Val d’Ayas, Gressoney and Alagna is becoming increasingly feasible, along with Alagna’s connection to Zermatt, forming the largest skiing area in the Alps.

YOUR PERSONAL RETREAT AT THE FOOT OF MONTE ROSA
The architectural design is inspired by Walser settlements and, instead of emulating the traditional building methods used in rascards (raccards, timber-built constructions), it in fact references the equally iconic building typology developed from the mid-19th century for the construction of high-altitude mountain lodges, first and foremost Capanna Regina Margherita, built on Punta Gnifetti on the Monte Rosa massif at 4,556 m above sea level.
