Timber Room
Larch panelling, a deep window seat, and the quiet side of the building.
A working alpine lodge with ski-in access in winter and eighty kilometres of trail in summer — plus a spring-fed hot pool that stays open in both.
Three generations, the same larch beams, and a wood-fired boiler that has been serviced more often than most cars. Northwind is not a hotel that borrowed a mountain — it grew out of one.
Twenty-two rooms means the dining room seats everyone at once. Breakfast is at the long table, and by the second morning you will know who is skiing where.

Ninety seconds from the boot room to the Kessel chair.
Two mornings a week with Andri, avalanche kit provided.
38° outdoor pool and a cedar sauna, open till eleven.
Breakfast and a four-course dinner are in every winter rate.
Rates shown are per night for two, half board in winter.
Larch panelling, a deep window seat, and the quiet side of the building.
South-facing balcony over the valley. Worth the extra for the morning light alone.
Under the eaves, with a wood burner and a bunk room the children will fight over.
“The drying room alone is worth the money. Boots warm every morning, which after twenty years of skiing I had stopped expecting.”
“We came in July expecting a quiet off-season. Instead we walked a ridge every morning and swam in a river every afternoon.”
“Andri took one look at the snowpack and moved us to a different face. That is the kind of guiding you cannot buy at a big resort.”
Winter weeks are usually gone by October. Summer has space until late spring, and the rates are a third lower.
