Alpenroyal Grand Hotel in Alta Val Gardena is the top hiking and skiing resort in the Italian Alps and a member of Leading Hotels of the World.

Located in a breathtaking setting amid majestic Dolomite peaks, the Alpenroyal Grand Hotel Gourmet & Spa is the ideal starting point for mountain walks, hikes and climbing tours for all ability levels. In summer the surrounding meadows abound with Alpine flowers, while in winter the landscape is dormant under a deep blanket of pure white snow turning the terrace into a natural solarium. Clear, crisp air and pristine natural surroundings provide the prerequisites for a relaxing and healthy holiday, in the care of Alpen-Royal's attentive staff. Then there is the excellent cuisine, the luxurious, spacious rooms and lounges with magnificent views of the magnificent Dolomite peaks.

Having emerged from beneath your cozy duvet and enjoyed the 'good morning' greeting from the magnificent mountain scenery, you look forward to the delicious and varied breakfast buffet. Then the mountain world beckons and you set off, perhaps following suggestions and advice on walking, hiking or skiing routes from the resort's in-house experts. And on your return from the high pastures or ski slopes you might enjoy a drop of whisky or grappa in the 'Alpenstube' in front of the open fire place, or perhaps a helping of strudel or other pastries with a pot of freshly brewed tea in the 'tea corner' or on the idyllic solarium terrace.

The natural lake/pool 'Kurat' and the indoor swimming pool 'Under the Stars' are the perfect places to relax and soothe aching muscles. The sauna, whirlpool, steam grotto, solarium, termarium, tepidarium, aromarium as well as the large lawn are there for you to enjoy. For those who are still energetic there is the 9-hole pitch and putt course or you can play a match on the local indoor tennis court. You can also allow yourself to be pampered in the Eghes Beauty Spa for both women and men with a massage, a hay bath or with revitalizing essential oils.

In the evening you can stimulate your appetite with an aperitif in the piano bar, after which dinner is cooked by our professional chef Felice Lobasso and his team. Later on, relax by listening to some music in Nick's Bar or in the elegant billiards lounge.
