What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
an alpine lodge in flawless modern luxury-boutique style, which…features all the comfort (and many of the services) of a much larger and more extensive resort.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in Ortisei, the lodge sits within easy reach of the pedestrian centre and mountain slopes via on-demand private shuttle.
The rooms
Warm timber and dark marble line the suites, and several have private Finnish saunas or terrace hot tubs.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool with chromotherapy lighting sits beside daybeds looking out over the alpine scenery.
The spa and gym
The spa holds a Turkish steam bath and sensory showers, and pine panelling wraps around the Technogym fitness room.
Restaurant Montchalet
Dinner brings contemporary interpretations of South Tyrolean cooking, served at marble tables overlooking the mountains.
Lounge Bar
Guests settle into dark wingback chairs by the timber counter for craft cocktails and South Tyrolean wines.
