Welcome to the lovely Boutique & Gourmet Hotel Orso Grigio. This hotel is located in the centre of San Candido, a charming village in the German-speaking part of Italy. It is a small but chic hotel that has been welcoming guests with open arms for years. Franz and his daughter will make sure that you will want for nothing. Whilst the hotel rooms each have a different interior, they all offer a beautiful view. The slopes are just a short walk away, but you can also take the ski bus to help transport your equipment. When you return to the hotel later in the day, you will be looking forward to dinner every time. Every evening, the chef and his experienced team will prepare a delicious three-course meal for you, with a menu of options to choose from. Be sure to ask for the extensive wine list.
The hotel also organises lots of fun activities (see the list below).
The half board includes:
• An extensive breakfast buffet, with local food products.
• A 3-course dinner with 3 options to choose from: meat, fish, or vegetarian dishes. The salad buffet and cheese cart also offers fresh and tasty treats every day.
The following are included:
San Candido is located near the Austrian border in the region of the Drei Zinnen Dolomites; the threefold peaks are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage. The ski area has been awarded several times and is, therefore, the ideal place for skiing. In addition, it is also a beautiful area! San Candido is mainly known for cross-country skiing, skiing is possible on the family-friendly (beginners) slope Haunold. For the more advanced, the ski area of the Drei Zinnen is recommended.
Do you want to do something different for a day off the slopes? San Candido has a nice centre. Thanks to the lively pedestrian zone you can enjoy walking and shopping. Nice restaurants and bars can be found in the centre. Definitely worth a visit here!
Drei Zinnen is a recognised UNESCO World Heritage site. This ski area has been crowned several times as the top destination for a winter holiday.
This area is home to real ski enthusiasts. The environment is incredibly beautiful with 5 interconnected mountains and 110 kilometres of slopes to enjoy the Drei Zinnen is one of a kind destination.
Do you want to explore several peaks of the Dolomites during one holiday? Then take the Giro Delle Cime ski tour; where you ski through sprawling landscapes.
For the little ones, the family-friendly mountain Haunold is the best. There are several small ski lifts from the valley that are perfect for the first downhill runs. In addition to the practice slopes, there are 5 lifts, which provide 23 kilometres of fun. There are 4 ski huts and the track is lit at night. Perfect for families!
Do you not feel like skiing one day? Find the toboggan run or go to the cabin lift 'Rotwand' where you can feed reindeer. If you are very lucky you can also meet wild reindeer on the slopes.
