More Information

A multi-million dollar upgrade has transformed this resort original into a fresh, minimalist and cozy mountainside accommodation experience.

Literally seconds from the main chairlift, The Approach boasts a prime location in the heart of the upper village with restaurants, bars and hot pools just steps from your hotel room. 

A variety of room configurations are available from single queen or king rooms to classic double queens, family style bunks over queens, and unique loft rooms.

The design speaks to economy and function. Unnecessary embellishment has been banished, and in the spirit of trailblazers, offers a celebration of the essential. You won't find hair dryers, just spectacular mountain views and an unbeatable location.

The Approach is for those who enjoy stylish simplicity that's supremely comfortable and the perfect place to start a mountain adventure.
