Our lodge attracts couples, families and large groups. It's a very cosy, friendly place to stay during the winter offering a relaxing social space with great food & wine. Having a wine or beer by the fireplace after a day out on the slopes really captures that winter lodge feel!

Restaurant concept...
''Our next chapter – Fire & Ferment – is a culmination of experiences and experiments gathered over the past 5 years.
The use of fire, cooking over coals and smoking has become an undeniable favourite in our cooking. Meanwhile the magic of fermentation is our backbone for enhancing the flavour profiles of our dishes. This year we’ll be upscaling the use of both of these cooking techniques and paying homage to their deliciousness and nourishment.
You’ll find plants & vegetables we’ve gathered and preserved from around Hakuba, as well as local meats and fish which we aim to present in a totally new way.
Each night enjoy a tasty story from the warmth of the restaurant.''
