A transparent balcony for the Stella di Pila

The final destination of this journey is the Aosta Valley. In Pila, perched like an eagle’s nest at an altitude of two thousand metres, the Stella di Pila welcomes travellers with its modern silhouette and large glass-fronted balcony: from here, the view stretches unobstructed from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa. With platters of Aosta Valley alpine cured meats, innovative polenta dishes and mountain sparkling wines, the refuge epitomises the new direction of the highlands: places where comfort and the horizon are no longer a compromise, but an art form.
