A five-star spa hotel in Selva di Val Gardena with direct access to the slopes, the Alpenroyal Grand Hotel pairs an extensive wellness area with strong cuisine and a position at the foot of the Sella Ronda circuit. It is a classic Dolomite ski-in, ski-out luxury base.
The Alpenroyal Grand Hotel stands in Selva di Val Gardena (Wolkenstein), the highest of the three main towns in Val Gardena, set directly beneath the Sella and Sassolungo massifs at the entrance to the famous Sella Ronda ski circuit. Its position is one of its great advantages: in winter the hotel offers genuine ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes, making it one of the most convenient luxury bases for skiers tackling the four-pass Sella Ronda loop, while in summer the same trails open onto exceptional high-mountain hiking and via ferrata terrain.
The hotel is a substantial five-star spa property, and its wellness area is a central draw, with indoor and outdoor pools, an array of saunas and steam baths, relaxation rooms, and a full menu of alpine and beauty treatments. The scale and quality of the spa make it as much a destination for wellness-focused guests as for skiers.
Accommodation spans comfortable doubles, junior and spa suites, and family rooms, finished in a warm contemporary alpine style with timber, natural fabrics, and balconies oriented to the surrounding peaks. The kitchen is a strength, with a half-board arrangement offering elaborate multi-course dinners and a gourmet option for special occasions; the cooking blends South Tyrolean classics — speck, canederli, game, strudel — with Mediterranean and international dishes, paired with a cellar rich in Alto Adige wines.
Beyond skiing and the spa, the hotel arranges guided hikes, mountain-bike outings, and excursions in the warmer months, and provides a ski room, equipment service, and concierge support in winter. Its combination of slopeside convenience, comprehensive wellness, and dependable cuisine has made it a long-standing favourite among travellers seeking a classic Dolomite ski-in luxury experience in the heart of Val Gardena.

- The spa is extensive; allow time on arrival and après-ski days to use the full pool and sauna circuit.
