Ad Maiora Baita Walser – Timeless Alpine Luxury
Step into the magic of the Alps at Ad Maiora Baita Walser, a lovingly restored 15th-century stone and wood chalet in the heart of Valsesia. This exclusive retreat combines authentic Walser heritage with modern comforts, offering an unforgettable stay surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.
Your Private Mountain Haven
3 elegant double bedrooms (including one spacious family suite for up to 4 guests)
3 refined bathrooms
Private wellness area in the original stone stable, featuring:
Sauna & bio-sauna
Relaxation lounge & herbal tea corner
Heated magnesium-salt pool carved into the rock, with both indoor & outdoor sections
The pool’s indoor area offers wide relaxation seating and a soothing neck waterfall. Step outside to enjoy hydromassage jets, air blowers, and a panoramic view of the Monte Rosa glacier and the Monterosa Ski Freeride Paradise slopes.
Living Spaces
Top level (former barn): cozy open-plan living area with kitchen & lounge, mezzanine alcove with 2 single beds, bathroom.
Middle level: a master suite with en-suite bathroom plus family room with a double bed and adult-friendly bunk bed.
Lower level (former stable): large bathroom and access to the private SPA.
Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Handcrafted by local artisans using reclaimed wood and stone, the chalet preserves its historic soul while offering modern luxuries:
Underfloor heating (individual controls in each room)
Smart lighting & blackout blinds
Triple-glazed windows for warmth and tranquility
A Unique Alpine Hamlet
Ad Maiora Baita Walser is located in Ronco, one of the oldest and most authentic Walser hamlets. Accessible only by a charming pedestrian mule track (4–5 minutes uphill walk from the car park), Ronco has remained car-free for centuries, preserving its unique character and serenity.
Fresh spring water flows from the fountain beside the chalet, just as it has since the 1300s. We recommend practical luggage, though a luggage delivery service is available on request.
