In my extensive research looking for the mountaintop ski lodges of the world, I have stumbled across several “near misses” where quite intriguing possibilities just miss out on some key criteria for being truly “mountaintop”. But they are so alluring, while I have omitted them from the database, I thought I would do a post here mentioning them:
NOT OFF-ROAD – But need to be to some degree isolated and not just sitting at the (or near the) bottom of a chair lift in town.

- Le Refuge de Solaise | Alt. 2551m | Luxury hotel in Val d’Isère
- One Happo – One Chalets Hakuba

NOT ISOLATED – more like Avoriaz (but not gondola access

NOT ROOMS (only entire chalet)
