Hotel Albion Mountain Spa Resort Dolomites

Hotel Albion sits on the hillside on Via Pinei, looking out over Val Gardena. A free public ski bus stops right outside, and the hotel runs its own shuttle into the Dolomiti Superski area. In summer the staff organise cycling and hiking tours.

Rooms are done in a traditional mountain style, with wooden or carpeted floors, and every one has a private balcony. The restaurant serves South Tyrolean specialities, and breakfast is a varied buffet. Children get an extra-large play room with a slide, plus an outdoor playground.

Here's the thing: you're not in the village itself. Ortisei and Kastelruth are each about a 10-minute drive, so plan on the bus or the car for evenings out. Parking is free, with a garage and EV charging, and pets are allowed on request.
