Alpina Dolomites

Set on Europe's largest high-altitude plateau, in an UNESCO World Heritage Site and commanding extraordinary views, is the Alpina Dolomites. Its location right on the slopes of the Dolomiti Superski circuit - the longest in the Alps, gives guests of all levels immediate access to some of Europe's finest skiing. Built with an exacting eco brief, it is inspired by nature, using stone, wood and glass to stunning effect, whilst the custom furnished interiors remain welcoming and cosy. The sense of space here is overwhelming, and coupled with incredible service and warm hospitality and a focus on wellbeing, it's a truly exceptional place to stay.

South facing, with views across the jagged peaks, the main lodge houses the panoramic restaurant and a selection of rooms and suites, and is connected to the striking circular "chalet" by an underground passage, featuring the remaining suites. The perfect Bond location! The Mountain Restaurant and Stuben uses local and seasonal produce, creating a delicious fine dining experience, whilst the Mountain Lounge Bar serves very good lighter meals.

The COMO Shambhala Retreat Spa at the hotel is highly recommended, not only having fabulous facilities from a Finnish sauna to a bio-herb sauna and a salt bath to an aroma bath, but the views from the relaxation areas are breathtaking. Relax in the heated outdoor pool, watching the "enrosadira" - the changing colours of the mountains as the sun rises and sets, or take advantage of the de-stressing Ayurvedic massages after a day on the slopes. And life for skiers is made extremely easy with ski rental on site and the ski school right next door.

In the heart of the Alpe di Siusi, Alpina Dolomites is superbly located for skiing the famous Sella Ronda circuit and exploring the Dolomiti Superski - some of the best terrain in the Alps. Perfect for beginners and intermediates, there is also plenty to keep the most expert of skiers happy. The region has an excellent snow record, slopes for all abilities and a modern lift infrastructure. Together with the breathtakingly beautiful surroundings and innumerable good value mountain restaurants serving exceptional quality food, it's hard to beat.
