HOTEL AIGLE – COURMAYEUR MONT BLANC
Our rooms
Our location
Entrèves, the village suspended in time and surrounded by mountains and water
The Hotel Aigle is located in the medieval village of Entrèves, a municipal hamlet of Courmayeur, to be found at only 2,5 km (1,5 miles) upstream Courmayeur, at the very foot of the Mont Blanc, where the Valdigne (the very last leg of the Aosta Valley) ends and parts in two side valleys called Val Ferret and Val Veny.
The village of Entrèves stands where the two creeks (the Dora Ferret and the Dora Veny, coming from the valleys of the same name) merge together to form the impetuous Dora Baltea, the river that flows down the entire Valle d’Aosta valley. The present look of Entrèves dates back to the 14th Century, the Passerin d’Entrèves stronghold, probably one of the oldest if not the oldest building in the village, is mentioned in documents dating from 1351.
Why choosing the Hotel Aigle and Entrèves for your stay
Entrèves is the very last settlement of the Valle d’Aosta and it offers a unique view of the Mont Blanc and the Grandes Jorasses. From no other places in the valley one can see the Mont Blanc in all its grandeur, and the Hotel Aigle is like a balcony overlooking this majestic spectacle.
Standing at the merging point of the two valleys, Val Veny and Val Ferret, the Hotel Aigle is also a most convenient starting point for all your nature adventures such as excursions, hikes and climbing in Summer, and downhill ski, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the Winter.
Near the hotel, within ten minutes walk (2 minutes by car), there are the boarding stations for the modern “SkyWay cable-car”, that takes visitors to The Pavillon (2.173 mt / 7,129 ft) / Helbronner Point (3.466 mt / 11,371 ft); and for the “Val Veny cable-car”, that takes on Mount Chetif and the ski-tracks of Plan Checrouit (connected with the ski tracks of Courmayeur, on the opposite side of the mountain)
The SkyWay, makes it possible for everyone to access/see the glacier area and enjoy one of the most spectacular views and experience of the Alps, while the most expert skiers and climbers can use it to reach the starting point for their adventures.
The Val Veny cable-car gives access to the beautiful skiing coprensory of Val Veny and Courmayeur.
But, most of all, Entrèves offers a charming, enchanted, quiet location for your relaxation. The village, with its alleys, stone-houses with the traditional wooden balconies, fountains and the old chapel it recalls the rural original daily life of this valley and has the magic to make you feel like living in a fairy tale. A peaceful place, but only a 5 minutes drive (30 minutes by walk, also served by frequent bus-shuttle service) from the worldliness & elegance of the most popular near town of Courmayeur with its boutiques, wine bars, restaurants, and two cable-cars that connect Dolonne and Courmayeur with the ski tracks above.
