Glacier Hotel Grawand In Senales

05/02/2025: A stay in the Dolomites isn't something you can improvise, especially in winter. Even with advance planning, it's almost impossible to find a hut that's available during the Christmas season. Only two or three accommodations brave the cold season to accommodate the most intrepid—and that was us. We had the privilege of staying at Hofer Alpl from December 26th to 29th, and it was unthinkable that we would leave without writing a report about the experience, as it surpassed everything we could have ever imagined. Hofer Alpl is the essence of Alpine hospitality, where warmth and refinement blend without ostentation. There are no excesses here that would detract from the raw charm of the mountains, but rather a perfect balance between comfort and authenticity. An oasis where you feel appropriately welcomed and the soul of the place is respected. The cuisine, rooted in local tradition, proves unexpectedly refined. Each plate, generous and masterful, speaks elegantly of the region. The service, in turn, is of rare attentiveness, and we would especially like to thank Nora for her kindness and tireless availability. The prices are far from the extravagances one might fear and remain extremely fair given the quality of the experience. The team demonstrates remarkable flexibility, responding to even the smallest needs without ever giving the impression of being overly busy. And then there's the setting. Nature is sovereign, framing the hut in absolute silence.
