The Dolomites are one of Europe’s most spectacular mountain regions, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for dramatic limestone peaks, endless ski terrain and rich Ladin traditions. Deciding where to stay in the Dolomites depends on the experience you are seeking. From the gourmet slopes of Alta Badia to the glamour of Cortina d'Ampezzo, each valley has its own charm. Our portfolio of luxury chalets offers an exceptional base from which to discover them.

STAY: Casa Feroze

Casa Feroze is an elegant chalet in the heart of Colfosco, just steps from the ski piste and the Sella Ronda circuit.

Cortina d’Ampezzo: Queen of the Dolomites

Cortina d’Ampezzo is renowned for its glamour, vibrant nightlife and spectacular mountain setting. In winter, its slopes are framed by dramatic limestone cliffs and the town buzzes with international visitors.

Summer reveals another side of Cortina. Climbers scale the iconic Cinque Torri, cyclists tackle the Dolomite passes and walkers enjoy panoramic trails. The town itself remains lively, with chic boutiques and open-air concerts.

STAY: Chalet LV01 and Chalet LV02

Two of Cortina’s most exclusive retreats, Chalet LV01 & LV02 are situated in the exclusive Via Menardi area of the resort. Featuring swimming pools, private spas, wine cellars and cinema rooms, these chalets ensure a luxurious stay at any time of year.

Val Gardena: Gateway to the Sellaronda

Val Gardena is one of the most famous valleys in the Dolomites. In winter, it provides direct access to the Sellaronda ski circuit, while its villages of Selva, Ortisei and Santa Cristina combine alpine charm with lively après-ski.

Summer in Val Gardena is a hiker’s paradise. Trails lead to soaring summits such as the Seceda, and mountain huts serve hearty Ladin dishes. The valley is also known for its artistic traditions, particularly woodcarving.

STAY: Chalet Alpurio

Chalet Alpurio is a stylish alpine retreat in Selva Val Gardena, perfect for families or friends seeking both adventure and relaxation. The chalet features a heated outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gym and games area, while its proximity to the Col Raiser and Saslong lifts offers effortless access to the Dolomiti Superski slopes.

Kronplatz: A Secluded Escape

Kronplatz is less crowded than other Dolomite resorts but offers an extensive ski area with modern lift facilities. It is also home to two striking museums designed by Zaha Hadid, making it a fascinating destination for culture as well as sport.

In summer, Kronplatz is wonderfully peaceful. Dense forests and rolling meadows surround the peaks, and mountain biking trails attract riders from across Europe.

STAY: San Lorenzo Mountain Lodge

A former 16th-century hunting lodge, San Lorenzo Lodge has been lovingly restored into a luxurious retreat. With a private wellness area, open fires and even a golf course in summer, it is the ultimate private hideaway.
