Active holidays in South Tyrol

Adventures in the Dolomites

The Sassolungo, the Puez Group, the whisper of wind through the larches, the vast sky above Val Gardena. Here, at The Oswald Grand Hotel in Selva di val Gardena, the Dolomites are not just a panorama; they are part of our essence, our identity. In summer, fragrant Alpine meadows, clear mountain lakes and silent peaks beckon. In winter, snow glistens straight up to the hotel door – and the ski lifts start on our doorstep, perfect for skiing, cross-country skiing or romantic walks. Follow nature’s paths as you embrace movement, pleasure and the art of living – at the highest level, here in the heart of Val Gardena.
