Margherita: campsite and resort in Valle d' Aosta for your summer and winter holidays in the mountains

RESORT – THE 5 ELEMENTS (Photo gallery >>>)
The chalets all have underfloor heating and were built using climate-controlled house building techniques, for maximum energy efficiency. The solar panels installed on the roofs also contribute and are perfectly in line with our philosophy of respect for the environment and prudent use of resources.
Each unit has a veranda for eating al fresco in the summer, a living room with a compact kitchen equipped with a microwave oven, a dishwasher and washing machine, a table with 6 chairs and a double sofa-bed, a bedroom with a double bed and fold-away bunk beds, a 5 door wardrobe and a bathroom with ante-bathroom. Clients can use the handy ski store with ski boot dryer situated on the veranda.


Why we named our chalets after the 5 elements
According to the five elements theory, the individual and his/her surrounding environment are continuously changing as they follow the eternal cycles. The continual changes in these cycles are part of nature and contribute to maintaining the equilibrium. The same applies for the body: cells grow and then die, leaving space for new cells. Living beings depend on these cycles, which involve the mind, the body and the spirit and influence health and the energy flows which alternate during a lifetime. We decided to give our five chalets the names of the five elements of the Chinese horoscope (Water, Metal, Fire, Earth and Wood) because the mountains are the main place for observing these changes in nature and to appraise the benefits for our bodies. The seasons are the first external example of the 5 forces which alternate cyclically on nature; in the winter (water), the life force withdraws into itself, in spring (wood) everything begins to grow, in summer (fire) everything flowers and in late summer (earth) everything matures and comes to fruition; in autumn (metal) the forces return to the earth. Each element is generated by another, which in turn generates the next, just as Spring arrives after a period of winter rest and the explosion of its generating force announces the arrival of Summer.
