Pine-clad alpine chalet
Pine-clad alpine chalet
Run personally by its owner-sommelier, this thirteen-suite chalet feels more like a private mountain home with an ambitious cellar.
What it’s good at
Notable
Outdoor whirlpool baths facing the Dolomites beside an indoor silver quartzite pool.
Listed
Thirteen pine-finished suites attended personally by the owner-sommelier and family hosts.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The suites’ wood floors, large windows, and pine furnishings create an atmosphere that’s warm and rustic, yet at the same time luxurious and design-conscious.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The village square sits right outside, and local ski lifts and mountain trails are only a short walk away.
The rooms
Suites have pale pine furnishings and timber floors, and private balconies look straight out at the Dolomites.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool is heated to between 31 and 32 degrees Celsius and opens through glass doors onto the terrace.
The sauna and whirlpool
The outdoor whirlpool stays heated to 35 degrees Celsius year-round, and the indoor thermal area holds a Finnish sauna.
The relaxation lounge
Daybeds surround a rustic timber fireplace in the pine-clad relaxation lounge, where guests sip herbal teas and Grander water.
At the table
The kitchen prepares steaks on hot lava stone, and the vaulted pine cellar holds over 540 wine labels.
