At the foot of the Sassongher in Corvara, La Perla has been run by the Costa family since 1956 and remains one of the region's most beloved addresses. Step inside and you'll find yourself wandering through a Ladin wunderkammer, with wood-panelled stube rooms, antique furniture, vintage skis and a delightfully eclectic collection of curiosities amassed over generations. Add to that one of the Alps' most impressive wine cellars, a Michelin-starred restaurant and nearly 70 years spent welcoming guests.

Gardena isn’t just a hotel – it’s a full-on alpine retreat, where luxury meets legacy. Family-run and tucked into Ortisei, this stay blends tradition with its earthy tones, squishy spa chairs, wood-carved doors crafted by the owner’s grandfather and the iconic cigar room. Start the day with a hike or a ski run (the slope’s five minutes away), then unwind in the outdoor pool or curl up in one of the many reading nooks with a view. Dinner? Choose from multiple restaurants, including the tiny Michelin-starred hideaway: Anna Stuben. Gardena is the kind of place that speaks to those who value the good stuff: fine food, deep relaxation, and snow-dusted adventure. 

 A truly unexpected dining experience awaits beneath the Ciasa Salares hotel. Slip downstairs at you’ll uncover Cocun, a moody, music-filled cellar with 24,000 bottles and vinyl records lining the walls. This isn’t your average wine bar: it’s a full-on Alpine experience. Sip natural wines, nibble on fresh trout carpaccio and then sneak into the cheese, chocolate, or whisky rooms for more. Cosy, original, and full of charm . 

As its telluric name suggests, Forestis is a dreamy mountain escape centred on nurturing its guests through earthly means.From spiritual sauna sessions to mineral springs to forest-inspired cuisine, this retreat will leave you feeling pampered and grounded.
