Chalet del Lago is a 2-star hotel in Ceresole Reale, Piedmont, just 800 metres from Gran Paradiso National Park and with a direct view of the lake that gives it its name. The property stands out for its direct access to the ski slopes and ski storage, features that make it an ideal base for hiking in summer and skiing in winter.
The rooms, furnished with parquet or carpet flooring, feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, desk and patio with views of the mountains and lake; some units also offer a sofa. Breakfast, served every morning, offers continental, Italian and vegetarian options.
Among the shared facilities are a sauna, table tennis, a garden with terrace, free bike rental and a bar-restaurant where guests can stop for a meal or a scenic aperitivo. Private parking is free and available on site. The location, set in alpine nature right by the park, is particularly appreciated by couples, who rated it 9.7. Turin Airport is 63 km away, reachable by shuttle for a fee on request.
Chalet del Lago offers two types of Double Room with Lake View, both designed to provide a direct outlook onto the waters of Lake Ceresole and the surrounding mountains. Each unit comes with a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, as well as a flat-screen TV, wardrobe, patio and complimentary toiletries. The flooring, in parquet or carpet depending on the room, contributes to a warm atmosphere typical of mountain chalets.
The two types differ mainly in size and capacity: the more compact version measures 20 m² and accommodates up to 3 people, while the larger one reaches 27 m² and can host up to 4 guests, making it more suitable for small groups or families. Both are equipped with a large double bed and, in the more spacious version, also an additional sofa useful as an extra sleeping space.
At 20 m², this is the most compact room in the chalet, ideal for a couple or up to three people. The carpeted floor and private bathroom with bathtub or shower, bidet and hairdryer complete a simple yet functional space, enhanced by the patio and views spanning the lake and mountains.
Larger than the previous room at 27 m², this room can host up to 4 people thanks to the additional sofa in the space. The parquet flooring and panoramic patio overlooking the lake make it the preferable choice for families or small groups looking for more space.
Chalet del Lago provides guests with a range of services designed for those seeking the mountains in every season. Private parking is free, as is bike rental, while guests staying in winter can rely on direct access to the ski slopes and ski storage, amenities that are rare for a property of this size.
The shared spaces include a garden with a sun terrace, a common area with TV zone, a sauna and a table tennis area, along with opportunities for cycling excursions, canoeing and fishing around the lake. The on-site bar and restaurant serve meals and drinks throughout the day, with the option of breakfast in the room and packed lunches on request.
Rounding out the offering are daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing services, an airport shuttle for a fee, and heating throughout the entirely non-smoking property.
Chalet del Lago is located in Borgata Pian della Balma, a hamlet of Ceresole Reale set in the heart of the Graian Alps, just steps from the lake that gives the property its name and only 800 metres from the boundaries of Gran Paradiso National Park, the first national park established in Italy. The setting is typical of small alpine villages in Piedmont, quiet and surrounded by peaks over 3000 metres, such as Levanna Centrale, visible about 5 km away.
For those arriving by car, the nearest airport is Turin, 63 km away, also reachable by a shuttle organised by the property for a fee. Nearby there are several dining options, such as the restaurant La Genzianella about 750 metres away and Fonti Minerali at 1.1 km, as well as Rifugio Maimo Mila just over 2 km away, useful stops for those hiking the area’s trails.
Ceresole Reale is a destination that changes character with the seasons: in winter, the chalet’s direct access to the slopes allows skiing without any travel, while in summer the area is suited to hiking, mountain biking, canoeing on the lake and sport fishing. Gran Paradiso National Park, with its marked trails and the chance to spot ibex and chamois, remains the main attraction in the area, along with the natural border with France’s Vanoise National Park, about 4.5 km away.
Guests especially praise the staff and the location, both rated 9.7, followed by cleanliness at 9.5. Value for money, while still very positive at 8.7, is the lowest-scoring category reviewed.
