Excelsior Resort

Large, stylish hotel with excellent wellness facilities. The Hotel Excelsior is set in a convenient and picturesque location - next to the lifts and just 5 minutes' walk from the resort centre. The excellent wellness area offers great facilities to help you relax after a day on the slopes, including an indoor pool, treatments and heated outdoor hammocks with views across to Kronplatz's 'pannetone' mountain. And if you're after a more active wind-down, there's a fitness studio with various classes and a gym. The open-plan bar and reception area connects through to the hotel's large but cosy Alpine restaurant, which offers excellent cuisine including local speciality foods and an extensive wine list.

Location:

Considered by some to be Europe's best-kept ski secret, the area of Kronplatz offers world-class skiing for all abilities, with links to the wider Sella Ronda and Dolomiti Superski areas. It’s made up of small villages and towns that surround the ski area’s 'panetonne', shaped exactly as it’s named. The area is extremely well kept and has no fewer than 20 gondolas to whisk you up the mountain. The village of San Vigilio is fairly quiet, with a few shops and some excellent restaurants and just one après bar, all set around a picturesque church. However, you can get the ski bus to nearby Riscone and a taxi back for a livelier night out.

On the other side of the 'panetonne' to San Vigilio, are two long black runs going all the way from the top to the very bottom and are used by the world cup team to train. The rest of the sides are made up of blue and red runs. Beginners are best to use the Miara mountain side on the other side of the town – however, this is the sunny side of San Vigilio and runs can become more difficult than marked.

• 5 minute ski to the lifts.

• 5 minute walk to the resort centre.
