Agent Tips

  • Tackle Sellaronda, an extraordinary ski circuit that loops around Mount Sella, allowing you to explore three different Italian provinces.
  • Be first on the slopes with an early-morning helicopter flight to a high-altitude vantage point. Watch as the rising sun bathes the Dolomites in light, setting the scene for your skiing adventure down pristine slopes.
  • Treat yourself to a high-altitude sunset toast in the Dolomites. After a short, guided walk to a mountain hut on the Seceda in the late afternoon, you’ll wait for the sundown while toasting to the beauty of nature. The return trip by helicopter will reveal all the gorgeous beauty of the Dolomites.

Spa

A harmonious environment in which you can fully relax.

The splendid spa (located in its own building) is a true oasis of serenity where you can relax in an extraordinarily pleasant atmosphere. Discover an entire world dedicated to wellness and fitness, with a selection of six saunas, a ladies-only spa, a cold water pool, and a large outdoor whirlpool. The post-sauna relaxation rooms are equipped with comfortable loungers, water beds, infrared chairs, and floating beds, for a truly sensorial experience.

In June 2024, The Gardena Spa introduced its new treatment area, enriching its comprehensive facilities with a selection of innovative spa treatments. Located on the first floor of the spa building, the nine spa treatment rooms feature state-of-the-art equipment. Each room has been carefully designed to create a harmonious environment in which you can fully relax. The keywords of regeneration, detoxification, and relaxation have been the cornerstone behind the creation of these innovative programs. These include a variety of approaches, ranging from invigorating cold therapy to the rejuvenating effects of natural aromatherapy cosmetics, along with targeted physical and meditative activities.

Their new spa programs include sessions of Zerobody Crio, an innovative treatment wherein the body is completely enveloped by a membrane at a controlled temperature of four to six degrees Celsius. This non-invasive procedure offers similar benefits to traditional cryotherapy and ice water immersion but in a safe and comfortable environment. Zerobody Crio provides the soothing experience of dry floating without any wetness. The advantages of cold therapy are widely acknowledged; by cooling the epidermis, cryotherapy promotes skin rejuvenation and enhances skin tone.
