The Dolomites Inn’s a family-run hotel, with Tyrolean hospitality to make you feel at home. The hotel’s in a quiet spot up the road from the villages of Alba and Canazei, with a bus stop right outside to zoom you to the town and slopes. Hop on the lifts and the whole of the Dolomiti Superski area is at your ski tips.

There’s a traditional alpine vibe here, with cream walls and wooded balconies on the outside and timber-clad walls and warm colours when you step inside. Rooms here are simple and practical, with the added plus of a balcony for first row views of the Dolomites.

Start your day fuelling up on a hot and cold breakfast with omelettes made to order and in the evenings, tuck into a three-course meal. The bar’s a cosy spot, with a wood-burning stove, perfect for swapping slope stories over an evening tipple and the wellness area’s on hand if you fancy settling down for some me-time.
