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 . 

 Between the Sella and Sassolungo peaks, Chalet Gerard blends high-end charm with cosy mountain warmth. From comforting schnitzel sto delicate, traditional ravioli recipes, this family-run gem serves up Alto Adige’s best with a side of postcard views. Don’t leave without trying the crepes. It’s high-end yet hearty, with warm service, woodsy elegance, and a spa you’ll never want to leave. A true Dolomitic daydream minutes away from the slopes.  

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. 

Skiing on Tofana Mountain goes hand in hand with a meal at Restaurant Col Drusciè 1778. What could be better than a hearty bowl of hand-rolled pasta after a day slipping the slopes?
