A key feature of all R Collection Hotels are the strategic locations.

Both hotels boast design and architectural elements that harmonize seamlessly with the surrounding nature and mountains.These 5-star boutique properties are situated just 20 minutes from each other along the northern border between Switzerland and France in the heart of the Italian Alps; conveniently accessible from major airports in Geneva, Turin, and Milan. 

Courmayeur is renowned for its well-groomed pistes, access to the Mont Blanc massif for off-piste and heli-skiing, and challenging expert terrain, while also catering to skiers of all levels. The resort exudes a glamorous and cosmopolitan vibe, with a vibrant town featuring chic boutiques, après-ski hotspots, and high-end dining. Non-skiers can enjoy a rich variety of activities, including shopping and the iconic Skyway Monte Bianco with its stunning panoramic views. Easily accessible from major cities, this chic resort town is a popular choice for both weekend getaways and luxurious Alpine experiences. 

La Thuile, offers extensive, uncrowded slopes ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers, with opportunities for off-piste adventures. With a quiet, laid-back atmosphere, the charming mountain town is perfect for families and those seeking a peaceful Alpine retreat. When not on the slopes visitors can venture out into breathtaking trails of unspoiled nature for hiking, snowshoeing and more. Slightly more remote and less developed than nearby resorts, La Thuile appeals to travelers who value seclusion and tranquility.
