Architecture Rustic reborn
Built in the early 2000s, this rustic lodge was home to tractors and hay until its renovation in 2017, when Design Hotels Original Prisca Llagostera personally chalked out divisions on the floor for the interior walls that were added. Dark wooden shutters and doors, stone walls, and the occasional concrete floor characterize the property, creating an aesthetic of pared-back mountain living.

Wood abounds inside—old floors, walls, and chairs—creating a natural-hued canvas for a curation of design pieces, from brass candlesticks to velvet sofas. A hanging chimney epitomizes the property’s aesthetic—bucolic and sleek—while iron and concrete pillars add texture. Leather chairs are found in communal areas, and a central fireplace acts as the property’s warm heart.

Offbeat Destinations Far afield
Food & Drink Inside and out
Situated around a fireplace in the main building, the Lodge Canteen is a lovely, tranquil restaurant serving delicious mountain cuisine. The Summer Pop-Up and the Winter Shack are housed in the same wooden hut, which features its own fireplace and two large tables for collective meals. In summer, live music is presented on Thursday nights, while the idea in winter is to show up after snowshoeing, skiing, or a walk for a hearty, well-deserved meal.
“Nature is eternally flowing from use to use, beauty to yet higher beauty; and we soon cease to lament waste and death, and rather rejoice and exult in the imperishable, unspendable wealth of the universe, and faithfully watch and wait the reappearance of everything that melts and fades and dies about us, feeling sure that its next appearance will be better and more beautiful than the last,” said Scottish-American naturalist and pioneering environmental philosopher John Muir.
These four destinations may not first come to mind when you think of winter mountain escapes, but they make up for it in sheer magnificence and since they aren’t as wellknown give you plenty of space to explore within and without in solitude.
As we look to the start of a new decade, we’ve recalibrated the reasons why we travel, where we travel, and how we travel.
This bold trailblazer possesses a visionary’s heart, an artist’s temperament, a hotelier’s warmth, and not an ounce of fear.
