This hotel is among the best of the best. We visited for a hiking trip and adored every minute. We prefer to stay in the mountains, away from town and the Col Raiser was perfect for this. Because it is at the top of the Col Raiser ski lift it means you get an early morning jump on hikers that are staying in town.
But first the hotel. This hotel is in the tradition of family-run ski/summer hotels in the Dolomites. It's a beautiful property and it is run by so much care by the Schneck family. The hotel is kept in tip-top shape and is decorated in a traditional mountain style. We were there with a half-board option and very much enjoyed the excellent meals planned by Mrs. Schneck, plenty of options and all top quality.
Our room had a gorgeous view of the Sassolungo, it just couldn't be beat and every day we hiked in the Puez Odle Park. All of the other guests were hikers too. Quiet, ambitious walkers, and great sources of info for new hikes.
They prefer to book for an entire week, but if you are lucky they will have an opening. In Val Gardena I believe the week runs from Saturday to Saturday.
The only difficulty is getting to the hotel if you do not have a car. We took the bus from Bolzano (the 35)0?) and were dropped off in town. It was probably a 1 km walk to the gondola from the bus stop at the circle in Sta. Cristina (there's a Conad there). I suppose we could have called a taxi but we had just arrived and were a bit discombobulated. It appears there is a shuttle but it doesn't operate in the afternoon (?). Maybe ask if you do not have a car.

A beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Very pleasant service and definitely the best Gastro experience during the evening menus that we have experienced in the Dolomites in recent years! In the morning you will experience the first ride on the perfectly groomed slopes and in the evening the romantic relaxation when everyone leaves for the valley. The hotel only has a few rooms, so take it easy and have an amazing dinner!

We enjoyed an amazing week high above Val Gardena with beautiful, comfortable rooms and absolutely breathtaking views. We had a family suite which included a balcony with comfortable lounge chairs to enjoy sunrises and sunsets overlooking the Sassolungo mountain. The sofa bed was up a couple of steps with its own privacy door so there was plenty of room for 3 adults. Bathroom was large and also included a view of the mountain.
Even though we loved our hikes, the best part of the day was early morning or in the evening when the lifts closed and we had the mountain to ourselves.
We enjoyed the wellness rooms which opened at 4 pm everyday... indoor pool, outdoor hottub, steam room, sauna and sunroom. So relaxing!
Breakfast was delicious each morning. It consisted of a buffet with fresh baked breads, pastries, make your own pancakes, make your own fresh juices, scrambled eggs, sausages, hard boiled eggs, yogurts, spec, ham, and cheeses.
Dinner was the real treat: 4 delicious courses with choice of entries. Each night was a different theme: Italian, Tyrolean, fish on Fridays. We loved them all.
Staff was attentive and welcoming. We felt like family. Can't wait to get back!

We spent a wonderful week of skiing here with our son. The breakfast buffet was more than adequate and the 4-course menu every evening was, in our opinion, on top level and the declared highlight of the day. From the boss to the cleaning staff, everyone is more than committed to the well-being of the guest. The quality known for South Tyrol was once again exceeded. Thank you for a great week,

My wife and I stayed at Almhotel Col Raiser for our honeymoon and wow, were we in for a treat! We loved the five-star dinners by candlelight each night, wonderfully appointed breakfasts with delicious cappuccinos and local jams, ski-in-ski-out access to the breathtaking dolomiti ski runs, and being treated like royalty by the hotel staff. What we enjoyed most about this hotel was its authenticity and family history as well as all the wonderfully carved woodwork, historically important artwork, and indescribably delicious cuisine crafted by Rita Schenk and her kitchen staff. Lastly, if you’re lucky, you’ll spot the hotel’s most amazingly fluffy cat strolling around the lobby. We stayed in the alm suite room, which had a warm lodge feeling and a balcony view of the beautiful dolomiti mountains. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the towel warmers in the bathroom. After a long day of skiing, we enjoyed relaxing in the sauna and hot tub in the wellness center. By the way, the hotel’s ski room is super nice with boot warmers and ski racks! Special thanks to Lea Schenk and her amazing staff who worked tirelessly to ensure our stay was perfect and that our honeymoon was truly magical. We can’t wait to come back again. Our Notes: 1. Do not be late! The last Gondola is at 4pm. Alternative transportation is incredibly difficult to arrange and will be expensive. 2. We flew into Munich and drove a rental car to the hotel. The 3.5 hr drive was pretty. Be sure to get a vignette sticker from a gas station before crossing the Austrian border. Also, have Euros handy for the tolls. 3. Parking at the Col Raiser Gondola was easy and safe. Parking is complimentary if you meet the minimum hotel stay duration. 4. There is a cute gift shop in the hotel with local crafts. Be sure to visit it. 5. Wiring a cash deposit for the hotel stay is totally normal. You can pay the remaining balance with a credit card w 6. Take a day or two to explore the nearby towns and have lunch. We enjoyed walking through the Christmas markets. 7. The Sellaronda was really neat to do, however, it takes about 5-6hrs for a complete loop. Be sure to plan ahead so you make it back in time for the 4pm Gondola to the hotel.

An amazing location with spectacular, ever changing views... this was our second stay, and I hope not our last. There are only 15 or so rooms (so you will never be overlooked as a Guest!) and both of the rooms we had were beautiful, with obvious attention to detail. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, with a very nice local wine list. Professional, friendly service put this lovely hotel in a class of it's own. Thanks Family Schenk!

Lea Schenk and her team make staying at this hotel a special experience. A perfect service.
Starting from the fantastic location in the Seceda area with views of the Sassolungo/Plattkofel, the Sella mountain range and the Odle peaks, to the Welness area, the very delicious food and the hospitality! Nothing is missing.
Breakfast is served buffet style, with all the treats for a perfect start. Dinner is presented as a menu, with different themes. The food is very high quality and very tasty.
The alpine hotel is perfectly located for a super ski day in the Dolomites. In the morning enjoy the empty slopes of the Seceda and then head to the Sella Ronda. You can also go on beautiful snowshoe tours in the area from the front door.
An unforgettable experience.
We will definitely come back!

We felt very comfortable at the Almhotel Col Raiser and had a wonderful, relaxing week. The hotel and the rooms are lovingly furnished. The Schenk family and their staff were always very friendly and made you feel like you had found a second home. The 4-course menu in the evening was always a highlight of the day. The location and the panorama are breathtaking. We would love to come back!

Fantastic surroundings for a quiet and relaxing holiday right on the ski slope. The family-run hotel, with very friendly and unobtrusive staff, offers very high-quality, regional cuisine. We would love to come back.

After a 2023 spent entirely in hospital this year I managed to return to the only place where I can regenerate mind and body, needless to reiterate the magnificence of the place, the structure excellently managed by very professional and even more important staff always ready to put you at ease. Some much appreciated novelties such as the aperitif on the majestic terrace with the majestic backdrop that is the master. Thanks Almhotel Col Raiser, after a very hard year you gave me a wonderful week. Thanks to all the staff
