What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the four-bedroom Luxury Chalet Alpurio is an exquisite one: spectacularly well-located, stunningly well-designed and tastefully luxurious.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Plan da Tieja ski slope is a two-minute walk away. Nearby cable cars connect straight into the vast Sellaronda circuit.
The rooms
Four en-suite bedrooms look onto the Dolomites through full-height glass, lined with natural timber and stone.
The hydro-pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A sunken, heated hydro-pool sits in the garden lawn, looking straight out toward the surrounding alpine peaks.
The spa and gym
Inside, a wood-clad Finnish sauna and Turkish bath open off the spa lounge. A private gym holds Technogym equipment.
At the table
South Tyrolean breakfasts are served at the live-edge dining table, and the private bar stocks regional wines.
How it began
Local hotelier Guido Riffeser returned after ten years in America to convert his childhood home into the modern chalet.
