L’Ancien Paquier Chambre D’Hotes is a bed & breakfast housed in a historic building in the centre of Valtournenche, in the Aosta Valley, just 800 metres from the ski lifts. The property is run by Fabio and Paola, who over the years have transformed what was the village’s first hotel in the 1950s into a welcoming mountain retreat, tending to every detail with genuine passion.

All accommodations feature an en-suite bathroom, flat-screen satellite TV and free WiFi. Each morning a continental and buffet breakfast is served with freshly baked cakes and pastries, while in the summer months an artisan gelateria operates on the premises.
