Wood Restaurant Fancy, not filling Wood restaurant is a perfect mix of cozy and fine dining. But, I think, had we looked at the menu before we went in, we would have opted for another restaurant. Even while considering that it is a restaurant in a resort town in peak season, the prices were hard … More Cervinia- Zermatt Restaurants
Cervinia is heaven on earth but you ski instead of float! I absolutely loved Cervinia! Its biggest advantage is that it connects with Zermatt for endless skiing possibilities.

(I should note that I wasn’t expecting much.) Isola was built as a mountain town, with restaurants and hotels lining the mountain – you would … More Isola 2000
So – why move to France – for the skiing of course! We were lucky enough to have family friends visit for a week-long ski vacation after Christmas. We rented a chalet via VRBO, it checked all the boxes, hot tub, loads of rooms and bathrooms, big chill out area and walk to a lift. … More Chamonix
