Come here for glamor. The wealthy, the beautiful, and the best skiers in the world have for a century or so. It also has luxury shopping and an array of excellent dining options. Plus, the area offers a special treat for cross-country skiers, in addition to downhill, with striking views and long, manageable areas for all levels.
The Hotel: Elegant shades of browns, reds, and greens differentiate the bright interiors of the Ancora from other, more minimal, luxury hotels in the region. Originally built in 1826, the property reopened at the end of the summer with an interior redesign by Renzo Rosso (chairman of the OTB group, the owner of Jil Sander, Marni, and Maison Marigela).
