Experiences in the highest hotel in Europe

Are you looking for extraordinary, special hotels in Italy? Then the Glacier Hotel Grawand in Val Senales is the perfect place for you! At the highest hotel in the Alps, an unforgettable adventure awaits. Situated on the Val Senales Glacier at an altitude of 3,212 meters, it is even the highest altitude hotel in Europe – an experience you definitely shouldn’t miss! Find out here what your extraordinary holidays at this one-of-a-kind glacier hotel in Italy could look like.

 

Your arrival at the highest hotel in Europe

The journey is an adventure in itself. The only way to reach the highest hotel in the Alps is by the Val Senales Glacier cable car. After parking in the mountain village of Maso Corto, you board the cable car and float towards the glacier. When the doors open after just a few minutes, you are greeted by the crisp, icy mountain air, and your first impression is nothing short of breathtaking. Then, when you step into your panoramic room, you’re speechless once again. The window offers a stunning view of the peaks of three countries. You know then that this has to be one of the world’s most extraordinary hotels.

Waking up in paradise

And you won’t disappointed! As you fell asleep, you can admire the star-filled sky above. And the feeling of opening the eyes in the morning and being immersed in the beauty of the sunrise is hard to put into words. You may have stayed in many special hotels in Italy before, but you’ve never experienced anything like this.

First on the slopes

The highest altitude hotel in Europe is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts like you. After a delicious breakfast, all it takes is a step out the door, and you’re immediately on the slopes of the Alpin Arena Senales. While others are still waiting for the cable car in the valley, you are already carving through the fresh powder snow. The high altitude ensures excellent snow conditions, and the best part: no long waits at the lifts! There are also numerous snowshoeing routes starting right from the hotel.

Glacier adventures to your liking

Extraordinary holidays also include equally extraordinary experiences – and that’s exactly what the Hotel Grawand delivers. Just a short walk from this glacier hotel in Italy is the Iceman Ötzi Peak, the world’s easiest 3,000-meter summit to conquer, offering a panoramic view that’s not to be missed. Even more impressive is the guided ski tour to the site where Ötzi, the famous ice mummy, was discovered. You can sign up for this adventure at the hotel reception.

From eternal ice to the highest sauna in Europe
But that’s not all: this extraordinary hotel in South Tyrol also boasts the highest Finnish sauna in Europe. You’ll see: there’s nothing better than warming up in that cozy heat after a day spent in the eternal ice. And of course, at the highest hotel in the Alps, you’ll also be treated to culinary delights. After a delicious 4-course menu featuring South Tyrolean and Italian specialties, you can end each day with a cocktail at the panoramic bar.

Extraordinary holidays in the mountains
After a few unforgettable days, it is time to say goodbye and head back to the valley. But one thing is certain: you’ll be back! Time spent at this glacier hotel in Italy is truly unique. Anyone looking for special hotels in Italy will undoubtedly find it here. A stay at the highest hotel in Europe isn’t just a vacation – it’s an adventure you’ll remember for a lifetime.
