Kolfuschgerhof Mountain Resort&Spa in Dolomites Colfosco - Corvara - Alta Badia

Kolfuschgerhof Mountain Resort & Spa Hotel Review

"A family-run, five-star mountain retreat in Colfosco that began when Josef Ebner bought a hillside plot in 1968 and whose son Otto transformed the house into a hotel, blending Ladin, Italian and Austrian alpine traditions with contemporary comfort. The 78 rooms emphasize nature with massive windows and glass doors, oak parquet floors, natural wood details, warm textiles and Tyrolean-inspired decor; most rooms have spacious balconies with sweeping views of the Sella Group, Sassongher, Ciampac or the village below, and come stocked with plush bathrobes, slippers and the hotel’s signature natural blackberry-essence toiletries. Dining highlights include a main restaurant serving Ladin-meets-Mediterranean dishes (fresh pasta, regional meats and local specialties), an intimate wine cellar called Cianô dal vin, a relaxed lounge bar with a piano and Ladin-inspired snacks, and an interactive Chef’s Table offering in-kitchen tasting menus. The spa complex centers on a dramatic outdoor infinity pool with unobstructed Dolomite views, supported by an indoor pool, five saunas, a Turkish bath, a fully equipped gym, a hot jacuzzi, a waterbed room and cozy lounges with swinging chairs for quiet relaxation. Outdoor activities are seamless year-round: in winter guests step directly onto nearby slopes for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tobogganing (with rental gear, ski passes and guided tours available), while summer offers hiking, mountain biking and scenic trails plus a productive hotel garden. A nearby high-altitude outpost, Col Pradat lodge, is reachable by cable car to the terrace nicknamed the “Eagle’s Nest,” where guests can enjoy drinks, the Oysterbar or a popular L’Ciapel fondue (recommended to reserve). The overall vibe mixes mountain-chalet warmth with sleek, sexy design, and practical perks include rooftop terraces, a library, multiple lounge areas and easy access to the Colfosco village center; rates start around $1,200 per night and the closest airport is Bolzano (BZO)."
