02 / How we choose

A host, not a front desk

  • Slept in first

    Someone on our team has stayed every night we sell, in the season we sell it.

  • Road, power and signal, said plainly

    Every stay lists how you arrive, what the power is like and where the phone works.

  • Registered and insured

    We only work with stays that hold their local registration, and we show the number.

03 / High camps

Tents with proper beds

Camp out

Sleep higher than the clouds

Our high camps are staffed, warm and set up before you arrive. Come for the stars, stay for the sunrise.

  • Ski-in ease and a warm host

    The chalet is a short walk from the village centre, and the host met us with hot drinks and a clear plan for the week. Our room had a wood stove and a drying rack for ski gear, which was thoughtful. Breakfast was generous, and the host gave good advice on which lifts open early. The road into the village is closed to cars, so arrange your luggage transfer in advance. A relaxed and friendly base.

  • Quiet, warm and well looked after

    The lodge sits right by the river, so we heard the water all night. The staff explained the bus times and the trail options clearly, and dinner used local vegetables and mountain fish. Our room had a heater that worked well, and the bath was lovely after the afternoon walk. Reservations were confirmed in good time, and the team sent a short guide to the valley's bus and walking routes beforehand.
