SHREDDER’S PARADISECOME FOR THE SLOPES, STAY FOR THE SWANK. THE NEWLY OPENED COMO ALPINA DOLOMITES IN NORTHERN ITALY ISN’T JUST A RESORT IT’S YOUR TICKET TO A WINTRY WONDERSCAPE
BY ARCHANA AITHAL ROSE.
Tucked beneath the towering cliffs of a Unesco World Heritage site, the recently debuted COMO Alpina Dolomites is the ultimate base for this ski season. Set on the Alpe di Siusi plateau, its eco-friendly design blends effortlessly into the snowy landscape, offering jaw-dropping views of dramatic summits, vast valleys, and pristine meadows from every room. The resort’s unique architecture features locally sourced quartzite stone and a wooden roof inspired by the natural contours of the rugged terrain. For those seeking the ultra-luxe treatment, the Alpina Chalet Suite, nestled in the resort’s circular Chalet building, boasts a curved layout with a private balcony that opens to the Dolomites’ dramatic peaks. A cozy bio-ethanol fireplace adds the perfect après-ski touch. After hitting the slopes, unwind in the Shambhala Retreat, where COMO’s global wellness expertise shines. Dive into the indoor pool that flows into the mountains, or relax in the panoramic outdoor pool with breathtaking views. A luxe beauty sanctuary offers the ultimate post-ski glow, all backed by COMO’s status as a world leader in wellness and spa experiences. Dining here is as spectacular as the views. Think beef from meadow-raised cows to expertly prepared pastas with fresh, local ingredients to fuel your alpine adventures. Recently awarded a One Michelin Key in the Michelin Guide 2024, the resort offers a culinary experience like no other. Whether you’re feasting at the relaxed-chic Alpina Chalet or enjoying lighter bites at the Mountain Restaurant, every meal celebrates the region’s freshest and finest. Inside tip: don’t miss the famed afternoon tea in the Lobby Lounge.
