Immerse yourself in a piece of Val Gardena history at the Grand Hotel Wolkenstein. The hotel masterfully blends its storied past, having once hosted Sigmund Freud, with modern elegance and refined alpine style. The atmosphere is one of sophisticated comfort, with spacious, high-ceilinged common areas, cozy fireplace nooks, and a pervasive sense of timeless charm, making it an ideal retreat after a day in the Dolomites. The hotel's crown jewel is the magnificent three-level Maciaconi Wolkenstein SPA, shared with the adjacent partner hotel. This extensive wellness center is a sanctuary for relaxation, featuring eight different saunas and steam baths, three outdoor whirlpools, and a Kneipp pool. The highlight is the 74 m² outdoor swimming pool, heated year-round, complemented by a large garden and panoramic terrace with stunning mountain views. Though officially in the municipality of Selva, the hotel is perfectly positioned in the center of Santa Cristina, offering immediate access to shops and services. It's an ideal base for mountain adventures, located a short distance from the 'Saslong' World Cup slope and providing a perfect entry point to the Sella Ronda circuit. The 'half board plus' gastronomic offering includes a lavish breakfast, afternoon snacks, and a multi-course gourmet dinner. An on-site ski room with boot warmers and a shuttle to key lifts add to the convenience.
