Hotel Gran Roc Sestriere, sleeps 80, Italy Ski Holidays
A high quality hotel offering excellent value for money
Overview
In a quieter spot on the resort edge.
Hop on the hotel shuttle to get to the slopes.
Sip on colourful cocktails at the bar
The Gran Roc puts a modern twist on rustic alpine design, and there’s an up-to-date feel throughout, from the open-plan bar and lounge to the bedrooms with their timber feature walls. You’re in a quieter spot outside the resort centre, so it’s great if you like a more laid-back atmosphere.
Getting to the slopes is simple thanks to the hotel-run shuttle service – and they’ll even collect you when you’re done skiing for the day. Back at the hotel, it’s all about kicking back and relaxing. Stretch out on the sofas in the lounge and sip on free teas and coffees. Or if cocktails are your après tipple of choice, make a beeline for the bar instead.
Mealtimes are another highlight here. There’s a big continental buffet to kick things off, where you can take your pick from fresh breads, cereals and omelettes – or grab a quick coffee and pastry if you can’t wait to hit the piste. And in the evenings, there are four courses of fine dining to savour.
