The film spans three decades leading up to the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci – the last member of the family dynasty to run the luxury brand. A notable scene-stealer is the couple’s waterfront retreat, the 16th-century Villa Balbiano on\nLake Como\n(revamped by Hotel Costes designer Jacques Garcia and, for those keen to get a piece of the action,\navailable to rent\nfor £124,000 a week). Maurizio and Patrizia’s wedding takes place in Santa Maria church in Portico, and several scenes were shot on\nRome\n’s label-fluttering via Condotti. Naturally, Italy’s fashion capital also gets its close-up, with\nMilan\n’s Quadrilatero della Moda and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II the stars. And Villa Necchi Campiglio, an Art Deco mansion on via Mozart in the same city that was once a high-society party hub, stands in as the home of Maurizio’s father. Impeccably preserved, it’s also open to visitors.\nAoife O'Riordain\n \nFilming also took place in the\nItalian Alps\n, with the twinkly resorts of Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean standing in for St Moritz, as both have the sort of old-school charm beloved of in-the-know Italian skiers.  It got us thinking about where we’ll be going this ski season.\nBelow, we round-up the coolest destinations in the Italian Alps in honour of Gucci, from the Aosta Valley in the west to the\nDolomites\nin the east.\nAdam Driver filming 'House of Gucci'\nGetty Images\nGressoney-Saint-Jean\nThis pretty village in the Aosta Valley is standing in for\nSt Moritz\nin the film, where Gucci and Reggiani had a chalet. Like neighbouring Gressoney-La-Trinité, Gressoney-Saint-Jean has barely been troubled by the passage of time – making it ideal for nostalgic post-lockdown\nskiing\n. Hotels along the valley, including Lo Scoiattolo and Nordend, tend to be snug\nchalet\n-style affairs, heavy on wood, stucco and soft furnishings. From nearby Staffal, the lift pass offers access to the vast and underappreciated Monterosa ski area, which is known across Europe for its heli-skiing and vast off-piste. Lingering red runs cross three dreamy valleys to resorts such as powderhound-favourite Alagna and charming Champoluc, where eco-adventure\nCampZero\nrepresents a new kind of alpine stay around these parts.\nCortina Dampezzo\nGetty Images\nLady Gaga filming 'House of Gucci'\nGetty Images\nMost Popular\nCortina d’Ampezzo\nGucci and Reggiani, who was also known as ‘the Liz Taylor of luxury labels’, surely frequented Cortina d’Ampezzo, the most chi-chi of the Italian resorts and a favourite of Taylor herself. There may be a few more Russian and Milanese influencers these days, but Cortina still has some of the most fabulous fur-clad people-watching in the Alps – ideally over a beluga lentil and scallop stew on the terrace of El Camineto\nrestaurant\n, before retreating to the extravagantly domed spa of the\nCristallo hotel\n, crisply renovated since the era when Klaus Kinski and Brigitte Bardot frequented the Monkey bar. Just out of town, the four-table Aga was a pioneer in the local zero-mile foraging movement when it was opened in 2015 by Noma alum Oliver Piras and his wife Alessandra Del Favero.\nMountain hut in snow, Alta Badia\nGetty Images\nAlta Badia\nIt’s barely an hour down the road from Cortina to Alta Badia, a valley of six villages that share an ancient Ladin language and culture based around subsistence farming. These days, that translates into unfussy but seriously good locavore food along the valley – from agriturismos such as the 200-year-old Maso Runch to St Hubertus, with three\nMichelin\nstars for its cook-the-mountain philosophy. While hotels lean towards woodsy-rustic – like the Kolfuschgerhof in little Colfosco – newer stays have been mixing things up in recent years, including the Adler Lodge\neco-retreat\n, with its\nonsen\n-like thermal baths. There’s serious off-piste skiing along the valley, and access to the Dolomiti Superski area with about 745 miles of pistes running to Cortina and beyond.\nTerrace at Miramonti Boutique Hotel, Italy\nMost Popular\nMerano\nGorgeous, craggy\nSouth Tyrol\nis both homely and forward-thinking – a Germanic area with an ancient tradition of nature-gazing and buying local, powered largely by renewable energy. The best place to get a sense of it is the Merano basin, known for its geothermal spa resorts even in the days when Ezra Pound and Franz Kafka would come to take the crisp air. Most spectacular is the\nMiramonti Boutique Hotel\n, south of the Merano 2000 ski resort, all angular timber and faintly steaming infinity\npools\noverlooking an epic mountainscape. To the south, the delightful village of Lana is home to two beautiful mod-rustic stays: the eight-room\n1477 Reichhalter\n, with its buzzing bar in a renovated Tyrolean inn, and\nVilla Arnica\n, an elegant 10-bedroom mansion with a citrus-sharp pool in a lush garden.\nChalet and Skiers in Val Ferret, Courmayeur\nGetty Images\nCourmayeur\nOn the Italian side of Mont Blanc, Courmayeur has some of the best off-piste\nskiing\nand climbing in\nItaly\n, and quieter pistes than the more illustrious Chamonix at the other end of a long mountain tunnel. There’s a quietly buzzy après-ski scene here, starting with aperitivo hour at Bar Roma, and food’s taken seriously, especially on the mountain at spots such as the cosy Rifugio Maison Vieille shepherd’s hut and Chiecco, known for its wild-boar ragu. Hotels run from smart, timber-clad Le Massif to the more simple Auberge de La Maison on the edge of town, while the futuristic Skyway Monte Bianco – the world’s most expensive cable-car project – whizzes up to the Mont Blanc massif, with links to Chamonix’s famous Aiguille du Midi station.\n‘House of Gucci’ is in cinemas in the UK from Friday 26 November 2021\nNow watch our video on South Tyrol: Italy's mountains and glossy lakes:\nMargate-based Toby is a contributing editor and former features director at\nConde Nast Traveller UK.\nHe has edited\nTime Out\nmagazine in Beijing, Shanghai and Singapore, and launched multiple inflight magazines including the award-winning\nN\nby Norwegian\n.

The film spans three decades leading up to the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci – the last member of the family dynasty to run the luxury brand. A notable scene-stealer is the couple’s waterfront retreat, the 16th-century Villa Balbiano on [Lake Como](https:\/\/www.cntraveller.com\/gallery\/lake-como-italy) (revamped by Hotel Costes designer Jacques Garcia and, for those keen to get a piece of the action, [available to rent](https:\/\/theheritage-collection.com\/villa-balbiano\/) for £124,000 a week). Maurizio and Patrizia’s wedding takes place in Santa Maria church in Portico, and several scenes were shot on [Rome](https:\/\/www.cntraveller.com\/gallery\/hotels-in-rome)’s label-fluttering via Condotti. Naturally, Italy’s fashion capital also gets its close-up, with [Milan](https:\/\/www.cntraveller.com\/gallery\/things-to-see-and-do-in-milan)’s Quadrilatero della Moda and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II the stars. And Villa Necchi Campiglio, an Art Deco mansion on via Mozart in the same city that was once a high-society party hub, stands in as the home of Maurizio’s father. Impeccably preserved, it’s also open to visitors. *Aoife O'Riordain*\n\nFilming also took place in the [Italian Alps](https:\/\/www.cntraveller.com\/gallery\/ski-and-stay-in-luxurious-style), with the twinkly resorts of Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean standing in for St Moritz, as both have the sort of old-school charm beloved of in-the-know Italian skiers.

Ridley Scott's latest project, House of Gucci starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, gives a glimpse of glamour, style – and wonderful locations to inspire your next ski trip 26 November 2021 Getty Images / Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) Instagram The archive fashions sported by Adam Driver and Lady Gaga in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci are very cool (turtlenecks, furry hats, excessive gold jewellery and even a red leather catsuit for Gaga's ‘Black Widow’ Patrizia Reggiani, see image below) – but the locations are as every bit as covetable. The film spans three decades leading up to the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci – the last member of the family dynasty to run the luxury brand. A notable scene-stealer is the couple’s waterfront retreat, the 16th-century Villa Balbiano on Lake Como (revamped by Hotel Costes designer Jacques Garcia and, for those keen to get a piece of the action, available to rent for £124,000 a week). Maurizio and Patrizia’s wedding takes place in Santa Maria church in Portico, and several scenes were shot on Rome ’s label-fluttering via Condotti. Naturally, Italy’s fashion capital also gets its close-up, with Milan ’s Quadrilatero della Moda and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II the stars. And Villa Necchi Campiglio, an Art Deco mansion on via Mozart in the same city that was once a high-society party hub, stands in as the home of Maurizio’s father. Impeccably preserved, it’s also open to visitors. Aoife O'Riordain Filming also took place in the Italian Alps , with the twinkly resorts of Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean standing in for St Moritz, as both have the sort of old-school charm beloved of in-the-know Italian skiers. It got us thinking about where we’ll be going this ski season. Below, we round-up the coolest destinations in the Italian Alps in honour of Gucci, from the Aosta Valley in the west to the Dolomites in the east. Adam Driver filming 'House of Gucci' Getty Images Gressoney-Saint-Jean This pretty village in the Aosta Valley is standing in for St Moritz in the film, where Gucci and Reggiani had a chalet. Like neighbouring Gressoney-La-Trinité, Gressoney-Saint-Jean has barely been troubled by the passage of time – making it ideal for nostalgic post-lockdown skiing . Hotels along the valley, including Lo Scoiattolo and Nordend, tend to be snug chalet -style affairs, heavy on wood, stucco and soft furnishings. From nearby Staffal, the lift pass offers access to the vast and underappreciated Monterosa ski area, which is known across Europe for its heli-skiing and vast off-piste. Lingering red runs cross three dreamy valleys to resorts such as powderhound-favourite Alagna and charming Champoluc, where eco-adventure CampZero represents a new kind of alpine stay around these parts. Cortina Dampezzo Getty Images Lady Gaga filming 'House of Gucci' Getty Images Most Popular Cortina d’Ampezzo Gucci and Reggiani, who was also known as ‘the Liz Taylor of luxury labels’, surely frequented Cortina d’Ampezzo, the most chi-chi of the Italian resorts and a favourite of Taylor herself. There may be a few more Russian and Milanese influencers these days, but Cortina still has some of the most fabulous fur-clad people-watching in the Alps – ideally over a beluga lentil and scallop stew on the terrace of El Camineto restaurant , before retreating to the extravagantly domed spa of the Cristallo hotel , crisply renovated since the era when Klaus Kinski and Brigitte Bardot frequented the Monkey bar. Just out of town, the four-table Aga was a pioneer in the local zero-mile foraging movement when it was opened in 2015 by Noma alum Oliver Piras and his wife Alessandra Del Favero. Mountain hut in snow, Alta Badia Getty Images Alta Badia It’s barely an hour down the road from Cortina to Alta Badia, a valley of six villages that share an ancient Ladin language and culture based around subsistence farming. These days, that translates into unfussy but seriously good locavore food along the valley – from agriturismos such as the 200-year-old Maso Runch to St Hubertus, with three Michelin stars for its cook-the-mountain philosophy. While hotels lean towards woodsy-rustic – like the Kolfuschgerhof in little Colfosco – newer stays have been mixing things up in recent years, including the Adler Lodge eco-retreat , with its onsen -like thermal baths. There’s serious off-piste skiing along the valley, and access to the Dolomiti Superski area with about 745 miles of pistes running to Cortina and beyond. Terrace at Miramonti Boutique Hotel, Italy Most Popular Merano Gorgeous, craggy South Tyrol is both homely and forward-thinking – a Germanic area with an ancient tradition of nature-gazing and buying local, powered largely by renewable energy. The best place to get a sense of it is the Merano basin, known for its geothermal spa resorts even in the days when Ezra Pound and Franz Kafka would come to take the crisp air. Most spectacular is the Miramonti Boutique Hotel , south of the Merano 2000 ski resort, all angular timber and faintly steaming infinity pools overlooking an epic mountainscape. To the south, the delightful village of Lana is home to two beautiful mod-rustic stays: the eight-room 1477 Reichhalter , with its buzzing bar in a renovated Tyrolean inn, and Villa Arnica , an elegant 10-bedroom mansion with a citrus-sharp pool in a lush garden. Chalet and Skiers in Val Ferret, Courmayeur Getty Images Courmayeur On the Italian side of Mont Blanc, Courmayeur has some of the best off-piste skiing and climbing in Italy , and quieter pistes than the more illustrious Chamonix at the other end of a long mountain tunnel. There’s a quietly buzzy après-ski scene here, starting with aperitivo hour at Bar Roma, and food’s taken seriously, especially on the mountain at spots such as the cosy Rifugio Maison Vieille shepherd’s hut and Chiecco, known for its wild-boar ragu.

Ridley Scott's latest project, House of Gucci starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, gives a glimpse of glamour, style – and wonderful locations to inspire your next ski trip 26 November 2021 ![‘House of Gucci film locations the coolest places in the Italian Alps](https://media.cntraveller.com/photos/611bee7e231ed5e8dfa34636/16:9/w_2560%2Cc_limit/house.jpg) Getty Images / Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) Instagram The archive fashions sported by Adam Driver and Lady Gaga in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci are very cool (turtlenecks, furry hats, excessive gold jewellery and even a red leather catsuit for Gaga's ‘Black Widow’ Patrizia Reggiani, see image below) – but the locations are as every bit as covetable. The film spans three decades leading up to the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci – the last member of the family dynasty to run the luxury brand. A notable scene-stealer is the couple’s waterfront retreat, the 16th-century Villa Balbiano on [Lake Como](https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/lake-como-italy) (revamped by Hotel Costes designer Jacques Garcia and, for those keen to get a piece of the action, [available to rent](https://theheritage-collection.com/villa-balbiano/) for £124,000 a week). Maurizio and Patrizia’s wedding takes place in Santa Maria church in Portico, and several scenes were shot on [Rome](https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/hotels-in-rome)’s label-fluttering via Condotti. Naturally, Italy’s fashion capital also gets its close-up, with [Milan](https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/things-to-see-and-do-in-milan)’s Quadrilatero della Moda and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II the stars. And Villa Necchi Campiglio, an Art Deco mansion on via Mozart in the same city that was once a high-society party hub, stands in as the home of Maurizio’s father. Impeccably preserved, it’s also open to visitors. Aoife O'Riordain Filming also took place in the [Italian Alps](https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/ski-and-stay-in-luxurious-style), with the twinkly resorts of Gressoney-La-Trinité and Gressoney-Saint-Jean standing in for St Moritz, as both have the sort of old-school charm beloved of in-the-know Italian skiers. It got us thinking about where we’ll be going this ski season. Below, we round-up the coolest destinations in the Italian Alps in honour of Gucci, from the Aosta Valley in the west to the [Dolomites](https://www.cntraveller.com/article/dolomites-hotels) in the east. ![Adam Driver filming 'House of Gucci'](https://media.cntraveller.com/photos/611bee7e6ab96bf3ecf1f513/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/adam-driver-filming-house-of-gucci-gettyimages-1231597804.jpg) Adam Driver filming 'House of Gucci'Getty Images ## Gressoney-Saint-Jean This pretty village in the Aosta Valley is standing in for [St Moritz](https://www.cntraveller.com/location/st-moritz) in the film, where Gucci and Reggiani had a chalet.

Hotels along the valley, including Lo Scoiattolo and Nordend, tend to be snug [chalet](https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/european-chalets)\-style affairs, heavy on wood, stucco and soft furnishings. From nearby Staffal, the lift pass offers access to the vast and underappreciated Monterosa ski area, which is known across Europe for its heli-skiing and vast off-piste.

There may be a few more Russian and Milanese influencers these days, but Cortina still has some of the most fabulous fur-clad people-watching in the Alps – ideally over a beluga lentil and scallop stew on the terrace of El Camineto [restaurant](https://www.cntraveller.com/article/best-restaurants-milan), before retreating to the extravagantly domed spa of the [Cristallo hotel](https://cna.st/affiliate-link/31iBLyJC6EiujQjDs2rrdQYHrvE742NCpfMJk5Dta8KuGBN2Di84hCxVxVQxcdhJzYKy1819hhGvHABNqhpF629QSracFPh2NXma9G4RoUVDJuZzDFC8escngk7D3QjDGckKmLETtRXm4zhaUdEzbERmsukP13K1LDXuXmiiKsKXcaJ4DW194PjP91eQZy2YY59WW6ugyKyLjXooKrSdEup3byAmTRduEXwfJF2Y1fRPsUjKQvUQf3M1kDK9rmqMTAVwbdE5W2X3fisXQ1MUhPD8DNUXnz2yeh17psp88VxwKekMWUVyq1n6qNkDVPsSVnxr4uLKzNjkEEKW2daxFHKQPoah1pFViwQkztucsAsXae9Y3RMjftDPuhcZgCVXEvSf7yC), crisply renovated since the era when Klaus Kinski and Brigitte Bardot frequented the Monkey bar.
