La Baita 1697

A Timeless Alpine Retreat in the Italian Alps

Tucked away in the charming hamlet of Pattemouche, Baita 1697 is a luxury ski chalet that perfectly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. At an altitude of 1,600m, it offers prime ski-in access and is just a three-minute stroll from the cable car, connecting you to La Via Lattea (The Milky Way) - a vast ski domain with over 400km of pistes, linking Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx, Montgenèvre, and beyond.

Originally a 17th-century Piedmontese farmhouse, Baita 1697 has been lovingly restored by renowned interior designer Lucie McCullough. The chalet has been featured in Architectural Digest (AD), a testament to its exquisite design, which seamlessly merges traditional Alpine materials with contemporary comfort.

Spanning multiple levels, Baita 1697 accommodates 12 adults and 6 children in absolute comfort. The layout includes: Five master en-suites, each with custom Egyptian cotton linens and elegant, spa-inspired bathrooms with underfloor heating; A media room with a plush double bed for additional guests; A charming kids' dormitory that sleeps six, perfect for little adventurers.

Every detail of Baita 1697 is designed for unparalleled relaxation. Warm up after a day on the slopes in the 8-person wooden hot tub on the mountain-view rooftop terrace, or unwind by the crackling fireplace in the beautifully styled living area.

Dining is equally flexible and indulgent, with fully catered, self-catered, and bespoke dining options available to suit your group’s preferences.

From its picture-perfect setting in one of Italy’s most iconic ski regions to its seamless blend of heritage and luxury, Baita 1697 offers an unforgettable Alpine experience, whether you’re carving fresh tracks in The Milky Way or simply soaking up the majestic mountain views from the comfort of your private retreat.
