Sculptural Dolomite refuge
Branching timber pillars frame the alpine plateau, where contemporary art installations meet a quiet, design-forward mountain atmosphere.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A saw-toothed larch skin, branching colonnade pillars, and telescopic suites designed by MoDusArchitects frame Dolomite peaks.
Notable
Heated indoor-outdoor panorama pools, a mountain-hay relaxation room, and garden saunas overlook the Sciliar peaks.
Notable
Run by third-generation hoteliers on the high alpine plateau, featuring South Tyrolean cuisine and local contemporary art.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched at 1,900 meters on the Alpe di Siusi plateau, trails and ski slopes unfold directly from the doorstep.
The rooms
Telescopic suites are angled toward the Sciliar and Sassolungo peaks, pairing geometric forms with warm timber and panoramic picture windows.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor-outdoor pool extends onto the deck, looking out across alpine pastures toward the jagged Dolomite peaks.
The spa
At the table
The dining room opens onto views of the plateau, serving regional South Tyrolean dishes beside an illuminated marble bar.
How it began
Founded in 1936 as a simple mountain refuge, the property is now stewarded by third-generation hotelier Angelika Sattler.
