We were very impressed with "Les Trompeurs". The well curated, wooden interior design gives the place that warm, log cabin atmosphere - the kind your mind immediately conjures up when thinking about a winter stay in the mountains. The view from our balcony was great. The hotel is very conveniently located in Cogne's city centre, so you can easily walk to the many restaurants nearby whenever you're famished after a day's trek. Last but not least, the manager is extremely helpful - he will give you advice on hiking trails, where to eat, or help with whatever query you might have (he went beyond the call of duty when we bothered him on a Sunday afternoon after our car refused to start (Tip: on your way to Gran Paradiso national park, re-fuel with the special type of petrol they sell in the area to ensure your car can withstand the very low temperatures)) If you enjoy the great outdoors and good food, Cogne is a great starting point and you can't go wrong by staying at Les Trompeurs.
