Your Hiking Hotel in the Dolomites

Does a vacation for you include setting off on foot from your accommodation on a new adventure? Then Val Gardena is your own personal hiking paradise no matter the season! For more than 300 days a year, the sun shines on our tours. In summer, hike across lush green pastures or run over hills and dales and explore the mystical forests of the Dolomites on high alpine mountain paths. As a reward for your efforts, you can enjoy dream-like views, crystal-clear mountain lakes or a cosy snack in a mountain hut.

In winter, glide through the crisp air past snow-sugared spruces and enjoy the magical winter landscape on cross-country or touring skis. In the wonderful mountain world of Val Gardena, you can forget about everyday life, and even more so in a hiking hotel specially designed for hikers. For your hiking vacation in the Dolomites, we recommend a hotel that is fully geared to the needs of hikers and mountaineers.
