Saxifraga In Merano

06/03/2026: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Col Alto. The location is fantastic, and the buses to get you to/from the ski lifts were quick and efficient. The pool and saunas were clean, and perfect relaxing environments after a long day of skiing. We especially loved the breakfast buffet, complete with a ton of gluten free options. The rooms are a little dated, but that's so easy to look past with all of the other great things this hotel has to offer. We would no doubt stay here again. The ski rental shop next door gives you a great discount if you mention you are staying at Hotel Col Alto as well!

05/03/2026: We have been regular guests for 10 years and appreciate the hotel for its location and amenities. The Alpine lodge style is beautifully executed, and we feel very comfortable in the hotel's atmosphere. The bar is very inviting, and the restaurant is also nicely furnished and has plenty of natural light, which we appreciate at breakfast. The breakfast buffet is first-class; it fully met our expectations, with everything fresh and attractively presented. The service in the bar was very attentive, but unfortunately, the service in the restaurant wasn't as good as in previous years. We missed having expert wine advice; we would have liked more assistance with our selection and would have ordered more. The spa area is scheduled for renovation this year, and we are curious to see what it will look like next season. The morning shuttle to the ski lift ran smoothly without long waits, and in the late afternoon, we were able to ski right back to the hotel from Col Alto. There is a ski service right next to the hotel where skis can be dropped off in the afternoon and picked up the following morning from 8:30 a.m. onwards. All in all, we enjoyed the hotel very much and will be back next year.
