From the balcony or terrace of their rooms, guests enjoy magnificent views of the peaceful woods of the Cozie Alps.
Hotel's popular St.George lounge has become an obligatory port of call for skiers, excursionists and mountaineers keen to enjoy a shot of grappa or a glass of good wine amongst friends. Chalet Il Capricorno has acquired an outstanding reputation for its excellent cuisine, served in the main dining room or on the terrace of the hotel's Naskira Restaurant. Naskira's beautifully presented mountain dishes are prepared with the finest seasonal ingredients and a more than a pinch of culinary creativity. The "High Altitude" bar is the ideal spot where to savor a mug of hot chocolate or a thimble of cinnamon or rosemary liqueur, before returning to the ski slopes.

During the summer months, those keen to explore the mountains of this area of Piedmont can do so on foot, by mountain bike, or even on horseback.
