Floor-to-ceiling windows frame those magnificent peaks like a living artwork. The lobby's fireplace draws an eclectic crowd for afternoon tea and tale-swapping. Distinctly Japanese touches appear in unexpected places - from the traditional pottery in the restaurant to the meditative rock garden tucked away near the spa. The ski room's heated boot warmers are a stroke of genius.
The minimalist design allows those mountain views to take centre stage through picture windows. Premium rooms feature private balconies perfect for morning coffee contemplation. The bathrooms deserve special mention - those clever Japanese loos with their heated seats have converted many a sceptic. Deep soaking tubs offer muscle relief after energetic days on the slopes.
