With options for alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and access to the wider mountain region, travellers can choose from several 5-star hotels depending on where they want to spend their time outdoors.
Here are four hotels to consider when planning a winter stay in South Tyrol.
-
Seiser Alm Urthaler
Located directly on the Alpe di Siusi, Seiser Alm Urthaler puts guests close to the plateau’s ski slopes and cross-country trails.
Rather than travelling up from a village in the valley each morning, they can start their day in the mountain area itself. The location also suits travellers who want to combine downhill skiing with cross-country outings during the same stay, with both types of winter activity available on the plateau.
After a day on the slopes or cross-country trails, guests can unwind in the 700 m² Antermoia Spa, which features panoramic indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and dedicated relaxation areas.
-
GRANVARA Relais & SPA Hotel
In Selva di Val Gardena, GRANVARA Relais & SPA Hotel offers direct access to the ski slopes, with the famous Saslong piste around 150 metres away.
Guests can ski into the wider Dolomiti Superski area, including the Sellaronda circuit.
Cross-country skiing is available elsewhere in Val Gardena, so guests interested in both disciplines should check the location of the trails they plan to use.
-
Hotel Granbaita Dolomites
Hotel Granbaita Dolomites, also in Selva di Val Gardena, offers another base for exploring the Dolomiti Superski network. The hotel operates a complimentary shuttle that reaches the main lifts at Dantercepies and Ciampinoi in around five minutes. From there, skiers can access the wider network, including the Sellaronda.
Cross-country skiers can also consider nearby Val Gardena trails, including those in Vallunga and Monte Pana.
-
Hotel Montchalet
Hotel Montchalet offers ski storage with boot-drying facilities and a shuttle service for guests heading out to the mountains. These facilities help guests organise their equipment and movements during a winter stay.
The hotel is another option for travellers considering a 5-star property, with access to the area’s skiing opportunities. Guests should check the shuttle arrangements and the location of their preferred slopes and cross-country trails before booking.
Choosing 5-star hotels on the Alpe di Siusi close to ski slopes and cross-country trails
The best choice depends on where you want to ski and how you plan to get around.
Seiser Alm Urthaler is directly on the Alpe di Siusi, while GRANVARA offers direct access to the slopes in Selva di Val Gardena. Granbaita provides a shuttle to the main lifts, and Montchalet offers shuttle services and heated ski storage in Ortisei.
Before booking, check both downhill-ski access and the location of the cross-country trails you want to use, as the two may require different arrangements.
