Under the Autumn Sky
There are places that are remembered for their beauty. And then there are places that are remembered for the feelings they evoke. Hotel Gardena Grödnerhof in the mountain town of Ortisei falls precisely in the latter category. In summer, this top hotel in the heart of Val Gardena provides a unique combination of active relaxation, top-notch gastronomy, wellness and the unique scenery of the Dolomites, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Luxury in Every Detail
Gardena Grödnerhof is a hotel where the feeling of peace, comfort and refined elegance prevails. The interiors exude the aroma of wood, top-quality textiles and the subtle hints of wellness treatments. The recently completed extensive modernisation has also opened up, among other things, a new category of Superior Deluxe rooms. This extends the range of accommodation with an even more spacious and elegant option. These rooms, measuring approximately 50 m², boast a balcony with a view of the garden, a comfortable living and dining area, a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub and shower and an atmosphere that perfectly blends Alpine tradition with modern design.
Anna Treats Guests Generously
The exceptional experience of a stay is also enhanced by the gastronomy. The hotel includes Anna Stuben, a renowned restaurant with one Michelin star, and one of the most respected gastronomic establishments in the Dolomites. Try, for example, the six-course menu, the highlight of which is Blue Lobster and Lamb from the Funnes Valley. Other gourmet venues are the Gardena Restaurant with its extensive breakfasts and creative evening menu, and the 4 Sajons Restaurant, which celebrates the flavours of each season through seasonal cuisine crammed with originality and local ingredients.
Dolomites as Eternal Playground
Autumn at Gardena Grödnerhof is primarily about being outdoors. Hundreds of kilometres of marked trails, with vistas which are among the most photographed in the Alps, await hikers and cyclists. Trips to Seceda, Alpe di Siusi and the Puez-Odle Nature Park are extremely popular. Adrenaline lovers can explore the famous routes associated with the HERO Dolomites race. They can also go mountain climbing, trail running, Nordic walking or tandem paragliding. Golfers can use several superb quality mountain golf courses. The closest and, in our opinion, the most beautiful is Golfclub St. Vigil Seis, a 15-minute drive from the hotel.
From Mountain Peaks to Ultimate Relaxation
After a day spent on the mountain trails, it's time to discover the other side of Gardena Grödnerhof. The extensive wellness centre comprises an indoor pool, Finnish saunas, aromatic steam baths, an outdoor whirlpool, relaxation zones, as well as a wide range of treatments and massages. The hotel has long been sought after by guests seeking a combination of active holidays and first-class relaxation.
Where Summer Passes Differently
Gardena Grödnerhof is not a hotel to visit merely for an overnight stay. It is a venue where the day is naturally divided between mountain adventures, moments of peace in the wellness area and evenings filled with culinary delights.
