18/04/2025: A great stay for skiing. Unfortunately, we caught the exact week when the sun was practically nonexistent, and only clouds and fog were present. Still, it was spectacular.
The hotel is in a fantastic location in terms of views, tranquility, and nature. If you want to be right in the center of town or right next to the lift, this is probably the wrong place.
The hotel offers a free shuttle service in the morning and afternoon to Ortisei, Antoniusplatz (bus stop) or the two valley stations for the Seiser Alm and Seceda. From Antoniusplatz, it's about a 25-30-minute bus ride to Selva/Wolkenstein, where you can start your Sella Ronda tour directly. Free bus tickets for public transport are also available from the hotel (ask at reception).
We opted for 3/4 board.
The food is more than plentiful, varied, and delicious. Breakfast is plentiful, with fresh egg dishes. There's also a generous snack buffet for lunch/afternoon (if you stay at the hotel).
... A huge appetizer and salad buffet in the evening, followed by a 3-course menu, which you choose at breakfast in the morning.
There's a daily variety at both the buffets, and the menu options weren't repeated in a single week.
Every evening, the hotel offered a small additional offer, such as a welcome drink, mulled wine by the fire, schnapps tasting, and the like.
At first, we thought, "Hmm, the spa is only open until 7:30 p.m." However, after being picked up by the shuttle every day, you have about 2 hours in the spa before going to dinner if you're planning on spending the whole day on the slopes. After dinner, we were both exhausted.
The hotel spa is fairly new; other guests said it was built only about 3 years ago. The indoor and outdoor pools are very pleasantly warm and large, plus there's a whirlpool inside and a larger one outside. The ice bath is part of the sauna, which has a small, non-smoking area in the swimming area, and a separate nude sauna with a relaxation area. Perfect after a full day of skiing/snowboarding!
Some of the rooms are brand new, while others are in a typical, somewhat older Tyrolean style. Underfloor heating in the bathroom, bidet, etc., as you'd expect from Italy.
The only star deduction I'd give the room is for the mattress, which I found to be too hard, but I'm a bit sensitive about that.
The ski room also has everything you need, but could be a bit larger or offer more hanging space. All the ski/snowboard storage spaces were quickly taken. But it's also a minor issue.
For €5, you can use the washing machine and dryer, which was definitely very convenient after four days of skiing to reduce the unpleasant smells for the others for the last two days.
The cleanliness in all areas is truly outstanding, and the price-performance ratio is right from start to finish. We will definitely come back to ski the Sella Ronda again in the sunshine.
14/03/2025: Back to the hotel and again a fantastic stay. Excellent cuisine. Additional attractions every evening. The swimming pool and sauna area are wonderful.
