Heading: Journey Straight to the Dolomites
In the picturesque Italian region of South Tyrol, the Dolomites are set to welcome a host of exciting new experiences for travelers.
Aman's Refurbished Rosa Alpina Hotel to Open in Alta Badia
The renowned Rosa Alpina hotel in Alta Badia, previously a family-run property, is set to reopen this summer after a comprehensive refurbishment, transforming into an Aman property. However, it's important to note that this development is unrelated to the Casa Cook property in Madonna di Campiglio.
Casa Cook's Alpine Escape in Madonna di Campiglio
Casa Cook is set to launch its first Alpine escape in Val Rendena's Madonna di Campiglio in June. The property will feature earthy interiors and will be home to a restaurant menu curated by three-time Michelin-star chef, Jacob Jan Boerma.
Expanded Offering from Audley Travel
Audley Travel has expanded its offerings in the Dolomites, including a 10-day tailormade self-drive around the Sella Massif. The expanded offering also includes visits to craft breweries and a cheese workshop, as well as stays in Val Gardena and Alta Badia.
Improved Accessibility with SkyAlps
For travelers from London, the journey to the Dolomites is set to become even more convenient. Italian boutique airline SkyAlps has increased its London Gatwick to Bolzano route to three times a week, making it the closest airport for resorts like Campitello di Fassa and Selva di Val Gardena. While specific data on transfer times and flight schedules can be found directly from SkyAlps, it's expected that this increased service will shorten transfer times compared to flying into more distant airports.
Top Ski Resorts Near Bolzano
Some of the top ski resorts accessible from Bolzano include Campitello di Fassa, Selva di Val Gardena, and Passo Tonale. Campitello di Fassa and Selva di Val Gardena, located approximately 40 to 50 km from Bolzano Airport, offer extensive slopes within the Dolomiti Superski area and Val Gardena ski area, respectively. Passo Tonale, around 96 km from Bolzano Airport, is a family-friendly resort suitable for all skill levels with additional winter activities available.
London-based journalist Emma Love, who has written for publications such as House & Garden, Country & Townhouse, Centurion, The Times, and The Telegraph, has also contributed to the travel discourse about the Dolomites.
In summary, the Dolomites are gearing up for an exciting season, with new accommodations, expanded offerings, and improved travel options for visitors from London. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a first-timer, the Dolomites promise an unforgettable Alpine experience.
The upcoming season in the Dolomites promises not only a rejuvenated lifestyle experience at Aman's refurbished Rosa Alpina Hotel, but also a home-and-garden escape at Casa Cook in Madonna di Campiglio. Additionally, the travel enthusiast can explore the region through Audley Travel's expanded offerings, including a self-drive tour around the Sella Massif and visits to craft breweries and cheese workshops. For a convenient journey, SkyAlps has increased its London Gatwick to Bolzano route, providing easier access to top ski resorts like Campitello di Fassa, Selva di Val Gardena, and Passo Tonale.
