Nestled within a landscape characterised by towering peaks, sprawling valleys and alpine meadows, the resort features 60 thoughtfully designed rooms, many with sweeping views of some of the most famous peaks in the Dolomite Mountain range.
Natural materials have been thoughtfully chosen for the building and the resort seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. With the facade built using original quartzite natural stone and a roof embraced by a wooden structure, the design emulates the natural movements of the terrain and mountains.
On the adventure front, pristine pistes beckon, with Val Gardena being a jewel in the Dolomiti Superski circuit. Whether you’re an off-piste expert or a novice finding your footing on the slopes, the new ski-in/ski-out resort offers the guidance of expert instructors to ensure an exhilarating skiing experience.
For those looking to venture beyond the slopes, the area also provides a plethora of year-round activities. From hiking and mountain biking in warmer seasons to snowboarding and cross-country skiing in winter, there’s something for every outdoor enthusiast.
The resort champions the freshest local and regional products, curating a menu that fuels alpine adventures, with the bright and casual Alpina Chalet, the intimate Sassolungo, which is dedicated to the art of healthful dining by COMO Shambhala Cuisine, and the relaxing Lobby Lounge, perfect for drinks and small bites as well as a complimentary afternoon tea served each afternoon.
Holistic wellness is one the core pillars of the COMO’s properties and COMO Alpina Dolomites is no exception. The COMO Shambhala Retreat offers an expansive wellness programme that includes a 22m indoor pool, a 7m panoramic outdoor pool, sauna, relaxation zones, a fitness centre, and a beauty sanctuary. At COMO Shambhala, the focus remains on revitalisation and rejuvenation, ensuring that guests return from their stay feeling both refreshed and renewed.
