Many rooms will include private balconies overlooking the Tarentaise Valley. Amenities will include a signature bar, a tea lounge, and two restaurants featuring winter gardens and outdoor terraces.
The property will also house a dedicated spa focused on traditional wellness and longevity science. The wellness facility will include treatment rooms, thermal areas, a fitness center, and a swimming pool. For families, the resort plans to offer nature and sports programs tailored for younger guests.
