Once upon a time high-altitude refuges existed, but then Super G, Italy’s first mountain lodge, arrived and everything changed. Far and away from being just another “place to rest”, Super G is a where people meet to enjoy life and the magic of the mountain to the fullest, pampered by a charming structure situated on Courmayeur’s slopes and surrounded by Monte Bianco’s majestic massif.

Here, we’re at the back of Europe’s giant, ready to challenge its slopes or simply admire its greatness. Super G was reborn in its current form in 2013 from a pre-existing hotel structure in Plan Chécrouit above Courmayeur. Long-time friends Andrea Baccuini, Brand and Creative Advisor, and Giacomo Sonzini, Investment Manager, decided to purchase the property to recreate the magic of the mountain lodges discovered in Canada, but with added Italian flair. The concept? Eat like a king and sleep delightfully at the very foot of the slopes surrounded by snow.

Just a few weeks ago, in December 2015, Super G opened its doors with a completely refurbished look that sets high standards. Eight rooms (two suites and six giant rooms) are available to guests who wish dedicated every moment of the day to their wellbeing. The location is simply unique in the world and features spectacular terraces for face-to-face aperitifs with Monte Bianco. Other features not to be missed include the well-equipped gym & wellness area, which includes a polychromatic sauna, deckchairs, reaction showers, and herbal tea corner. Gourmands will be able to satisfy their superior palates at the refined champagne bar & restaurant, or the sandwich bar for a quick but equally appetising bite.

The most discerning guests will enjoy the numerous 24 hour services, which include a personal skier, babysitter, chauffeur and personal trainer. Everything has been designed to the finest details to allow visitors to live every second in a fully relaxing environment. The season’s full calendar of events, dj sets, themed evenings and original après-ski experience— which will get you dancing from the early hours of the afternoon!—guarantees that guests will also have a lot of fun.
