The estates
Each one is privately kept, staffed for the season, and never offered to more guests than the rooms can hold without strain.
01 · Engadin
The first Vaelmonta house, built in pale timber above a lake that stays bright even on a grey day. Rooms face the water. Breakfast is taken outside whenever the wind allows.
02 · Haute-Savoie
Stone on the lower floor, cedar above, and a table long enough for ten. In winter the house is the only one we keep open: fires, a shorter menu, and snow walks from the door.
03 · Dolomites
A refuge that stood dark for years, restored with pale wood and few ornaments. The walk up takes the better part of an afternoon. Luggage goes ahead. You arrive lighter, which is the point.
Dates shift a little with snow and thaw. If a house is closed, we will say so plainly.
