Elisabetta Franchi unveils the Chalet collection, a capsule of ski and après-ski attire designed for contemporary, feminine women.
Inspired by snow-dotted landscapes, the warm welcoming feel of mountaintop chalets and the vibe of vacations in deep connection with nature, the collection is designed for women who embrace their femininity while enjoying winter sports, blending the brand’s effortlessly refined style with functionality.
The looks resonate with the elegance and warmth reminiscent of winter escapes cherished by the eponymous designer and entrepreneur, including the iconic Italian winter destination of Cortina D’Ampezzo, nestled in the majestic Dolomites Alps.
“Cortina D’Ampezzo is a place for holidays with family and friends, it’s tradition, it’s Christmas,” says Elisabetta Franchi. “To dress a place is to honor its identity and blend in with its unique beauty. The collection is a journey of style, a tribute to its refined, mountain nature.”
Debuting for the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 season, the Chalet offers technical pieces ideal for snowy adventures alongside charming and stylish outfits for outdoor moments or evenings spent by the fireplace. Intended for strong and independent women never compromising on style or performance.
Elisabetta Franchi signs an unprecedented chapter of contemporary luxury in Cortina d'Ampezzo, transforming two iconic places in the resort into unique experiences designed to celebrate the timeless beauty of the Dolomites.
The project, conceived as an exclusive high-altitude takeover, features Ciasa Lorenzi and Rifugio Angelo Dibona, two destinations that embody a new idea of luxury hospitality, immersive and authentic.
In the heart of Cortina, Ciasa Lorenzi has been transformed following the distinctive aesthetic codes of Elisabetta Franchi. The suites, conceived as treasure chests of elegance, offer an unprecedented stay experience. Every detail reflects the quality craftsmanship and stylistic research that characterize the brand. Sophisticated color palettes create enveloping environments, capable of expressing discreet and contemporary luxury. Against the backdrop of striking mountain views, Elisabetta Franchi maxi blankets adorn king-size beds and outdoor terraces, transforming every space into a corner of comfort. Elisabetta Franchi Chalet logoed pillows, in white and black variants, personalize the lounges of the most prestigious rooms and extend to the comfortable dining rooms and outdoor terrace seating, where design meets Ampezzo tradition. Here, amidst soft lighting and Alpine atmospheres, exclusive evening events come to life in perfect Elisabetta Franchi style.

Nestled in the majesty of the Dolomites and just a stone's throw from the slopes, Rifugio Angelo Dibona is an invitation to discover the mountains in their most authentic essence. Surrounded by enveloping silences and breathtaking views, the refuge presents itself as an oasis of peace, where every detail celebrates the harmony between man and nature. Here, luxury is expressed in the refined simplicity of the rooms, the decorative details that blend with the architecture, and the warm natural light that enhances the essential lines. On the panoramic terraces, pillows and plaids bearing the Elisabetta Franchi Chalet effigy add a touch of style to moments of absolute immersion in the pristine beauty of the mountains.
