Nestling in the heart of the Dolomiti Superski, the largest interconnecting ski area in Europe, surrounded by majestic peaks, the Rosa Alpina has offered excellent hospitality and relaxation since AD1780.
Surrounded by the majestic cliffs of the Conturines, the village of San Cassiano nestles in lush mountain meadows at the centre of the Alta Badia district. The dramatic Dolomite peaks glint pinky-orange in the sunlight, offering just a hint of the 1,200kms of piste and the world-ranking climbing and walking routes that lie within the ‘Dolomiti Superski’. This is an extremely sought-after destination, in both the summer and winter seasons, amongst the mountain cogniscenti and the family owned Rosa Alpina offers the highest standards of accommodation; just the right balance of luxurious pampering and warm Ladin hospitality.
The town has only a minimal amount of traffic through it so that one may wander freely through the shops full of local products - smoked speck hams and strudels - many have facades painted with bright frescoes. One can enjoy the delicious regional specialities and more international cuisine in the exclusive Michelin starred St Hubertus (one of four restaurants to choose from) and ease the exertions of a day in the mountains at the Daniela Steiner Spa - the utmost luxury in an elegant environment filled with down-filled leather lounge sofas and soft music.
Each of the bedrooms is different and all are furnished elegantly in a low-key style with antiques, paintings and materials that reflect the Ladin culture - wood, linen and marble. The overall atmosphere is one of a small, family-run hotel - warm and welcoming - that manages to convey the feeling of being ‘at home’ whilst offering the utmost in hotel facilities and accommodation.
The friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the glorious scenery of the Dolomites, fantastic skiing and walking and the luxurious rooms and spa facilities, Rosa Alpina never fails to create a lasting impression.
