Rascard is the name of a traditional hut that was used in the field to store grain once harvested. Hotel Hermitage has two Rascards both recognized as historical "documents", one from 1862 near the hotel and another from the 16th century located near the organic garden about 1 km away. The 1862 Rascard has been completely renovated and is furnished with antique furniture and local handicrafts. It is planned to renovate the second Rascard as well with the aim of handing down these old grain storage places built to prevent moisture buildup and rodent attack.
The Hotel Hermitage is located in Breuil-Cervinia, the renowned tourist resort where it is possible to spend all year around an unforgettable vacation under the noblest peak in Europe: the Matterhorn. L'Hermitage is a typical mountain chalet made of wood and stone at 2050 meters above sea level, surrounded by larch trees, which since 1975 has offered the atmosphere of high-altitude refuges and the unique, refined and inviting welcome of the Neyroz family.
A tradition of authentic mountain hospitality is present in every corner of the hotel and is evident in the comfort of its lounge with its large fireplace and in the beauty of the furnishings of the bar, restaurant, and smoking room. The Hotel Hermitage has 28 rooms and 11 suites of different types and sizes, elegantly decorated with wooden furniture made by local craftsmen and embellished with silk fabrics and antique ornaments.
A clever system of interconnecting rooms makes it possible to find the ideal solution for any family or group of friends looking for a stay that alternates days of skiing on the slopes of the Matterhorn with moments of authentic relaxation in the Hotel Hermitage Spa. The Beauty Farm provides guests with a sophisticated program of personalized treatments in collaboration with Spa Bellefontaine. A heated indoor pool with whirlpool and water features, emotional shower, sauna, Turkish bath, relaxation area and Technogym fitness area complete the spa's offerings. The pursuit of excellence inherent in the hospitality of the Hotel Hermitage is also present in the authentic and genuine flavors of its gastronomic offerings, which give rise to tasty and refined dishes much appreciated by international guests.
The attentive and caring treatment of its staff has enabled the Hotel Hermitage and its restaurant "La Chandelle" to win several international awards and recognitions. In order to reduce its environmental impact, the Hotel Hermitage has introduced a number of good practices in its management that concern energy consumption, water conservation, the use of biodegradable products, and the waste production. The Hermitage's partnership with Allure Alps offers hotel guests the opportunity to discover the beauty of the Aosta Valley throughout the year in addition to the 143 existing slopes between Cervinia, Valtournenche, and Zermatt, including 9 black runs, a Snowpark, and spectacular free ride slopes.
