Our story

Chalet Nigritella is a historic refuge on the Tonale.

Under its new management we've chosen to put quality at the heart of every service: from the bar to the self service, through to the dining room devoted to gourmet cooking and its cellar. The name comes from the nigritella, the small dark Alpine orchid that smells of vanilla — a promise of simple elegance, the kind we try to offer with every visit. We'll be delighted to welcome you and make your stop at altitude one to remember.
