I had some lovely pasta here and the prices were very reasonable. There is a large terrace area for après-ski drinks and another on the upper floor with mountain views. Sun loungers are available too. Next to the main restaurant there is a self-service bar – a great all-round experience!

The ribs from the self-service restaurant were the best lunch I had all week skiing in Canazei. It was a huge portion – it was a bit ambitious to finish the whole plate with potatoes! I wish I had tried it on the first day. Many other on-slope restaurants were disappointing, but this place gets two thumbs up!

A wonderful little hotel in the heart of the mountains and ski area. Rarely have I felt so at ease – the wellness area couldn't be more beautiful. Breakfast exceeds all expectations and leaves nothing to be desired. The staff are exceptionally attentive and friendly. The ideal starting point for all kinds of excursions in South Tyrol's mountain landscape. Definitely not our last visit up there!

One of the great modern mountain huts – with a fantastic view and lounge furniture on the terrace. The homemade apple strudel is highly recommended – the best I have ever had!

Always a great experience here. The sunny terrace with live music is especially wonderful. The food and above all the pizzas are fantastic. Highly recommended without reservation!

A wonderful mountain hut with a beautiful panoramic view. A perfect stop along the orange Sellaronda circuit. The music and the sun terrace in particular invite you to linger a little longer.
