If there's anything we've realised from our travels, it's that ice cream can be eaten in any season. Come rain, come shine, there's nothing that a scoop of gelato can't solve. Especially when it's accompanied by one of Lovat's dolce colazione. 

The log-panelled walls, the green tree tops and panoramic views and the glass-panelled rooftop terraces remind you that a stay at Dolomiti Lodge is no ordinary mountainside escape. 

Just a ten minute stroll from the mountain pistes: if location is anything to go by then the Jägerhaus Agriturismo is superb. Pop stellar views and cosy interiors in the mix; you've got the recipe for a great nature retreat. 

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?
