The latest chic addition to the Italian ski scene comes in the form of the newly opened COMO Alpina Dolomites. Situated within the majestic peaks of the Dolomites, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, the resort is in northern Italy’s South Tyrol. From its prime position on one of Europe’s largest high-altitude plateaus, the resort is nestled within a landscape characterised by towering peaks, sprawling valleys, and alpine meadows. 60 rooms in neutral hues and natural materials offer sweeping views of some of the most famous peaks in the Dolomite Mountain range.
Dining options include the bright and casual Alpina Chalet or the intimate Mountain Restaurant, which is dedicated to the art of healthy dining. Drinks and light bites are served at the Lobby Lounge as well as the complimentary daily Afternoon Tea. Holistic wellness, one of the core pillars of the COMO’s properties is on full display at the resort’s COMO Shambhala Retreat. The expansive wellness program includes an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, sauna, relaxation zones, a fitness centre, and a beauty sanctuary.
The ski-in/ski-out resorts’ location in Val Gardena, part of the Dolomiti Superski circuit offers guided experiences for both off-piste experts and novices. Those looking to venture beyond the slopes can enjoy year-round activities—from hiking and mountain biking in warmer seasons to snowboarding and cross-country skiing in winter.
