Le Coin des Mélèzes is a family-run guest house created through the renovation of a historic family alpine farmstead, nestled among the pastures and larch forests of the upper Val d’Ayas, in a dominant position overlooking the valley above the village of Estoul, about 6 km from Brusson. The property is aimed at those seeking an authentic mountain experience: skiing enthusiasts, hikers, mountain bikers, and all those who wish to reconnect with nature in a secluded and genuine setting.
All rooms are non-smoking and are carefully furnished, each with an en-suite bathroom, flat-screen TV with cable channels, heating, electric kettle, wardrobe, and soundproofing.

Among the property’s key highlights are direct access to the Estoul baby ski slope, free private parking on site, a sun terrace, garden with outdoor furniture, and a common lounge. The nature-immersed location, the peaks easily reachable on foot, and the proximity to the Chamousiraz gold mines complete an offering designed for those who want to experience the Aosta Valley mountains in an authentic way.

Le Coin des Mélèzes is located in the hamlet of Fenilliettaz, in an elevated and secluded position above the village of Estoul, about 6 km from Brusson in the heart of the Val d’Ayas. The Val d’Ayas is one of the wildest and most scenic side valleys of the Aosta Valley, wedged between the Monte Rosa massif and the peaks separating the valley from the Valtournenche. The property is surrounded by high-altitude pastures and larch forests, with an open panorama over the surrounding mountains and a sense of seclusion that is its main strength.
In winter the location is exceptional: the Estoul baby ski slope starts practically at the door, and the Estoul-Palasinaz ski area is reachable on foot. The main slopes of Champoluc and Monterosa Ski are about 25 minutes away by car. When snow conditions allow, a 7 km cross-country ski loop is also groomed. In summer the property becomes the ideal base for hikes to the Palasinaz and Estoul lakes, the Bieteron peaks, Corno Bussola just 4.6 km away as the crow flies, and the Arp mountain refuge. The Chamousiraz gold mines are less than 2 km away, and the evocative Castello di Graines can be reached in about 15 minutes.
