Torgnon is a charming mountain village with a variety of excellent accommodation options. In the heart of the town, there is a choice of highly-rated hotels, apartments & BnBs. Further up the hill, the hamlet of Mongnod has a small selection of lodgings right near the base of the ski resort’s gondola. The absolute standout though is located further up the mountain in a ski-in ski-out position. Hotel Caprice des Neiges has all the best aspects of a wonderful Italian alpine hotel. Assuming one has a car, any of the villages can be used as a base to ski Cervinia.
