Hotel Greif, Corvara, Italy

The hotel is located in a quieter end of the town, just 10 minutes’ walk to the resort centre with a collection of bars, shops and restaurants. For getting on the mountain, the closest Boè and Borest lifts link right into the Sella Ronda and are a 15 minutes’ walk away. If you don’t fancy the walk or you want to hit the slopes as soon as you can, there'll be a shuttle waiting to take you there and pick you up again. If you don’t want to go too far, head down to the Col Alto lift in the village centre for access to a collection cruisy blues.

Set in a quiet spot on the edge of Corvara, the Hotel Greif is ideal for a fun-filled stay beside the Sella Ronda circuit. The hotel consists of two buildings – the main hotel, where the standard rooms are located, and the more modern annexe, which houses the superior rooms.

Rooms are spacious with ample storage for all your ski gear, and full of character with natural wood furniture and panelling. There’s a comfortable twin room for two people, or upgrade to a superior twin for two to four people and enjoy the modern annexe with a little extra space. Many of the rooms have impressive views out across the surrounding mountains to wake up to each day, and benefit from satellite TV, free WiFi and a minibar on your request.

The animation team are on hand to keep everyone entertained and kids will love the Birba Club. Plus, with an indoor pool, heated outdoor pool and comprehensive spa with open fireplace, you'd be forgiven for spending more time in the hotel than on the mountain. Book yourself a massage or beauty treatment and really feel pampered during your stay.

The continental buffet breakfast offers a variety of tasty sweet and savoury treats for getting you ready for exploring. And after a day on one of Europe's most scenic circuits, you can sample international dishes in the Ladin-decorated restaurant – prepare for some mouth-watering mountain meals, accompanied by an excellent wine list.
