What activities can be done in Antagnod?

Visit our website page Champoluc and its surroundings and read our Blog. You will get lots of interesting ideas!

How far is the hotel from the ski districts?

The slopes of Antagnod are right behind the hotel: go up a flight of stairs and you are at the start of the Boudin chair lift!
The small and sunny district of Antagnod is famous for being suitable for beginners. Its slopes are simple and here you will find all the services you need: instructors, ski school, ticket office and rental services are waiting for you.
For non-skiers there is a baby club and a snow park with bobs and inflatables where you can enjoy the sun while keeping an eye on your children playing in the open air, easily accessible on foot or in two minutes by car.

Instead, if you want to ski in Champoluc, the starting point of the “3 ski valleys” carousel of the Monterosa Ski district, you are only 5 km away.
You can take the free municipal shuttle bus which runs every hour. The stop is right in front of the hotel. The service is guaranteed from Christmas to Easter.
Otherwise you can always go by car; it will only take you 8/10 minutes.

The Estoul-Palasinaz lifts are about fifteen km from us; Brusson is recommended for those who want to learn or are determined to improve their technique without finding themselves facing too crowded slopes. The plus here is the good exposure and the panoramic view of the valley.

Ask the reception desk for information, we will gladly help you organize your days on the snow.

I would like to relax in a wellness center…

We do not have a SPA inside our hotel, but you can freely use the Hotel Petit Prince wellness center, which is one minute away from Santa San.
It is open from 16.30 to 20.00 and includes sauna, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, tropical shower and relaxation area. If you want to do some exercise, there is a treadmill and some equipment.
For booking and other information contact the reception desk.

Alternatively, we offer MonterosaSPA experience in Champoluc: swimming pool area with a selection of pools, saunas, relaxation areas, massages and treatments.
Information on reservations and the agreement can always be found at the reception desk.

To keep training with your equipment, running on the treadmill or joining a fitness class, we can recommend the Palestra 360° in Antagnod, where you can also book massages or moments of relaxation …
Enquire at the reception desk.

Friendly service minded staff and the small hotel is located in a nice village. Parking right outside the hotel made the transport to the ski lifts in Champoluc (good parking area next to the ski lift) convenient. Antagnod is a small village with only a few restaurants. Their popularity could make reservations difficult, but Santa San staff will offer their support.
