Brieis Relais Alpino is an accommodation in Marmora, in Val Maira, that combines mountain hospitality with a wellness offer rarely found in these valleys: a Turkish bath, hammam, sauna, whirlpool tub and outdoor tub make up a spa area designed for relaxation after excursions.
The rooms, from the more intimate Double Room to the spacious Suite with a separate living area and bathtub, all share a private bathroom with courtesy set and bathrobe, a minibar and free WiFi, but differ in size, view and amenities: some open onto balconies and terraces overlooking the garden and the surrounding mountains.
Buffet breakfast, the on-site restaurant and room service complete the offer, along with a garden with outdoor furniture ideal for relaxing. The location in Marmora, an isolated hamlet in Val Maira, is a starting point for hiking, skiing and fishing, and free private parking makes arriving by car easier. A choice suited to those seeking authentic mountains, tranquillity and wellness services all in one property.
Brieis Relais Alpino offers four accommodation types designed for different needs, from couples seeking intimacy to families needing more space. All rooms share some common features: a private bathroom with courtesy set and bathrobe, a minibar, free WiFi and views ranging over the garden and the surrounding mountains, a detail that makes every stay different depending on the room’s orientation.
The range starts with the compact 16 sqm Double Room and goes up to the 60 sqm Suite, the largest, with a separate living area, private terrace and a bathtub instead of a shower. The 40 sqm Junior Suite introduces an outdoor patio and an independent living space, while the Deluxe Room stands out for its balcony overlooking the garden. The larger accommodations also feature a sofa bed, useful for hosting children or a third occupant, making the property flexible for both romantic and family stays.

It has an independent entrance and a private bathroom with a shower, while the sofa bed also makes it suitable for an occasional third guest.
It’s the most compact accommodation in the property, with 16 sqm designed for a couple. It features an independent entrance, outdoor furniture and a tea and coffee kettle, plus a private bathroom with shower, bathrobe and complimentary courtesy set: the most essential choice, yet still complete with basic comforts.

Brieis Relais Alpino is located in the eponymous Borgata Brieis, a small hamlet in the municipality of Marmora, in the heart of Val Maira, one of the Occitan valleys of the Cuneo area still little visited by mass tourism. The setting is typical of the high mountains of Piedmont, with stone houses, larch woods and a silence broken only by the streams flowing down to the valley floor.
The nearest airport is Cuneo Levaldigi, about 41 km away, a useful reference for those arriving by car from the Po Valley. In the village and surrounding area there are several places to eat, such as Osteria della Croce Bianca just 800 metres from the property, Osteria Furnel e Pirol at 4.2 km and Agriturismo al Chersogno at 4.6 km, all reference points for local Occitan cuisine. Punta Tempesta, a peak over 2,600 metres, is about 5 km away as the crow flies and dominates the valley landscape.
Val Maira is hiking country par excellence, with trails that in summer connect the alpine villages via historic mule tracks, while in winter the area is suited to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing far from the crowds of the larger resorts. Fishing in the local streams is another activity possible in the warmer months, and the surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities for bike rides among the valley’s small villages.
