What's included in your Mark Warner holiday
We invite you to sample a taste of Italian hospitality in this stylish resort with its spectacular views of Mont Blanc, quality bars and restaurants and gorgeous cobbled streets. The Chalet hotel Cristallo is tucked away in a quiet side street just off the main Via Roma which runs through the heart of Courmayeur village. It’s only a five minute walk from the hotel to the main cable car lift and to make life even easier for you, there are ski lockers available by the cable car entrance, so you don’t even have to carry your ski gear with you.
This 27-room hotel is child free for most of the season, during school holidays children aged 7 years and upwards are welcome, there is no childcare provided.
Charm is the order of the day inside the hotel, with its beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls and antique furniture. The rich, honey-coloured wood panelled bedrooms are gorgeously comfortable and all are en-suite with a bath or shower and WC.
The dining room is light and airy with elegant draped curtains and plenty of seating choices, whether you wish to join fellow guests at a larger table or eat on your own. You can enjoy a good hearty breakfast, delicious afternoon tea or three course evening meal with complimentary wine in the restaurant. In the evenings, relax in the small, intimate bar or spread out in the lounge and enjoy some après ski with your fellow guests. And don’t worry about aching limbs; the hotel’s sauna will take care of those for you.
