    Staff friendliness, ski in-ski out, access to lift, delicious food, homely atmosphere in the lounge with games and fire each night. We would definitely come back

    In hindsight we should have hired a car as the local shuttle buses are infrequent

    Captain, Ken and all the lovely staff makes a memorable stay at Villa Alpen. Feels like Home!

    Staying at Villa Alpen is like staying in Grandpa and grandma’s ski lodge in the mountains. Dated but all the things that matters are there. The decor and some amenities are frozen in the 1970s with years of history reflected in the memorabilia adorning every nook and cranny. This family-run rustic lodge is helmed by sprightly octogenarian former pro-skier endearingly addressed as Captain, his son and right-hand man, Ken, his wife Hiroko who Captain affectionately referred to as to as ‘The Commander’ and anchored by a handful of lovely staff. The meals are superb, hearty and wholesome prepared by Hiroko which we look forward to every night after a day out in the slopes. A highlight is our nightly gathering in The Salon MonRepos after dinner for family bonding over board games and drinks. There’s a fireplace built by Captain and his father where guests sit around toasting marshmallows and watch the flames flicker enjoying the warmth. Captain regales us with tales from his time at the World Championships in Chamonix and Italy even giving us skiing tips! Captain and his family welcomed us like family to their home.

    Some parts of the property esp the lower floors can do with some sprucing up, nothing major, fresh coat of paint and new carpets would really uplift and brighten up the downstairs.
