Interior refreshingly maximalistic,tradition is felt everywhere,service is more personal than the proversion you can find in a boring Cityhotel. Out of the roughly twenty stays we have had in the Alps this is a top three. We stayed a number of times in Zermatt at Mont Cervin. If we consider this area again for skiing we would choose Cervinia and Bucaneve again. The slopes are easier to access, you reach the best parts of Zermatt faster from Cervinia, less people, less hassle, Valtourenche is a sleeping beauty nearby and perfect for both beginners and topskiers...still in the same system! And you pay Italian prices in a soft Euroversion, coffee is drinkable and you can eat fantastic food at the Chalet Etoile,two lifts up.
The hotel have two weak spots. Food is, like at a number of halfboard programs, too complicated. Why not a salladoption plus a traditional pasta every night for us who love the traditional italian dish? After all, you learned the french how to cook.
Second is the internet. That sucks, too slow and not 2011.
The staff is a dream. Go Bucaneve, you wont be disappointed!
