Heritage Carrel

A Timeless Alpine Sanctuary in Cervinia

Nestled in the heart of Valtournenche, in the charming hamlet of Pessey, Heritage Carrel is more than a chalet—it’s a journey through time, where 19th-century heritage meets contemporary alpine luxury. With a history woven into its walls and an ambiance steeped in warmth, this exquisite three-bedroom retreat invites you to experience the art of mountain living, framed by the majestic Grandes Murailles and the boundless beauty of the Italian Alps.

Just 100 metres from the slopes and a short eight-minute drive to the lifts of the Cervino Ski Paradise, Heritage Carrel is perfectly positioned for those who seek adventure by day and refined comfort by night. A seamless connection to Breuil-Cervinia and Zermatt means the thrill of the Matterhorn’s legendary pistes is always within easy reach, while the chalet’s thoughtful design ensures a haven of tranquillity when the day’s last run is done.

Designed with nature and the seasons in mind, Heritage Carrel effortlessly blends the organic warmth of wood and stone with sleek, modern touches. The private garden and solarium offer a sun-drenched sanctuary, where fresh mountain air and snow-capped vistas provide the perfect backdrop for moments of quiet indulgence.

On the lower level, a dedicated ski room with a boot warmer ensures seamless transitions from piste to fireside. A state-of-the-art TV and music room invites cozy evenings of entertainment, while a fitness suite caters to those who wish to keep up their routine before unwinding in the Finnish sauna or the outdoor Jacuzzi, where steaming waters meet crisp alpine air.

The first floor is home to a spacious master suite, offering sweeping mountain views and direct access to the private garden, where the morning sun spills over pristine snow. On the top floor, two elegantly appointed en-suite guest rooms—one twin/double and one double—are tucked beneath the eaves, exuding charm and warmth, perfect for restful nights after exhilarating days.

At the heart of the chalet, on the second floor, the atmosphere is both intimate and inviting. A characterful lounge, warmed by a crackling fireplace, sets the scene for storytelling over a glass of wine, while the dining area, framed by historical walls, invites long, lingering meals. The hidden kitchen, discreet yet fully equipped, is a space for preparing alpine feasts, where the scent of slow-cooked mountain dishes mingles with the rich aroma of aged wood.

A retreat as rich in heritage as it is in comfort, Heritage Carrel is an invitation to slow down, savor the magic of the mountains, and experience Cervinia at its most enchanting.
