The renaissance of a legend... 

From April 2024, Hotel Christiania will disappear and the next chapter in its wonderful story will be written.
One of the oldest hotels in Val d'Isère, it remains a symbol of the golden age of mountain elegance in the 1950s. The hotel’s metamorphosis represents a return to the glamour of its origins and its white silhouette, the image of purity and modernity at the time. Its renaissance has one ambition: to restore the hotel to its former glory, recreating the aura of the iconic destination it once was.

OUR HISTORY

1949

A beautiful family story

Just after the Second World War when winter sports were only for the elite, Paul Bertoli took a bold gamble and created a luxury hotel in the unknown village of Val d'Isère: the Christiania. His cousin Pierre Balmain invited all the celebrities and stars of Paris to the grand opening in 1949. Over the years, Philippe, Paul Bertoli’s globe-trotting son who is just as forward-thinking and passionate as his father, has made Hotel Christiania a destination for true mountain lovers, as well as celebrities and stars looking for peace and privacy. Owned by the Bertoli family for 3 generations, Hotel Christiania has become legendary.

2018

A unique encounter

The Bertolis and the Rouzaud family of Maison Louis Roederer first met in 2018. It was a case of love at first sight with these two visionary families who share far more than mere values. Their businesses are built on the same philosophy: a commitment to a sophisticated way of life, a close relationship with the mountains and Val d'Isère where Frédéric Rouzaud, a keen skier, spends his holidays and a fierce determination to preserve the sublime landscapes, local roots and respect for the Val d’Isère identity. Suites were an obvious choice for the Christiania, which became the first hotel in the independent family-run group, Roederer Collection.
2024

A new modern direction

The renovation of the Christiania is a long-term project, dear to both families, reviving a certain idea of French elegance in this magical destination. Bastien Bertoli remains at the helm of this exceptional hotel, where people are always welcomed as friends. For the Bertoli and Rouzaud families, loyalty to the legacy of the past goes hand in hand with a joyful energy for creating the future. The redesign of Hotel Christiania is a new chapter in a modern fairytale where poetry, emotion and the beauty of an exceptional environment are all part of the same dream. We can't wait to share it with you.
