The lodge trades Cortina's busy center for quiet mountain living, built around thermal baths and open views of the Tofane.
“the spa at Cortina’s four-year-old timber-and-glass Rosa Petra resort, whose sauna is exactly what sore post-ski hamstrings cry out for.”

Spectacular Dolomites views surround Rosapetra Spa Resort, an all-season resort that sits just outside Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Zuel di Sopra is a quiet hamlet five minutes south of Cortina, facing the jagged massif of the Tofane.
The rooms
Fir-paneled walls warm the bedrooms, and balconies in higher categories look straight across at the Tofane slopes.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and pool
Cervical water jets stir the 12-meter indoor pool, and treatment cabins host Swiss Valmont skin rituals.
The gym
A Technogym Universe Tower stands in the timber-walled studio, where trainers lead private workouts and yoga.
At the table
Morning buffets lay out regional charcuterie and pastries, and the terrace pours sparkling wine under open mountain skies.
How it began
The name translates to pink stone, honoring the enrosadira glow that illuminates the Dolomite peaks at sunrise and sunset.
