Right in the centre of San Candido village, and within a few minutes’ walk of the lifts, the Hotel Orso Grigio has over 550 years of history. Originally a lodging for travellers in 1303, you get a sense of character the moment you walk in to the lobby with its late-gothic-style vaulted ceiling. The characteristics of this ancient inn combine seamlessly with the addition of modern comforts and facilities throughout.

The generous and caring hospitality of Franz Ladinser and his team do not go unnoticed here, having been in the family for several generations. As well as the extensive hotel cellar, of which Franz himself is a connoisseur and will personally recommend wines, the hotel recently added several relaxing wellness facilities including a sauna on the panoramic terrace. Sit back and relax as you gaze over the rooftops of the village and surrounding mountains.

And when it’s time to head up for the night, the homely feel of the contemporary bedrooms is perfect for a good rest. Spacious and bright rooms have bathrobes, slippers and WiFi. And offer room service for an extra charge and a little added luxury.
