Our favourite rooms
The interiors at Gardena Grödnerhof Hotel & Spa mirror its surroundings, with rustic oak-wood panelling, valley-framing balconies and nature-nodding palettes as standard. If it’s mountain scenes you're after, Superior I watches over the Sella massif from its dual-aspect windows. Connected to the main building through an underground tunnel, Chalet Suites add seclusion and space to their summit-peering views, and the Seceda Suite features a fireplace for a warming close to days on the slopes.
Poolside
With a wellness centre so focused on the restorative nature of water, it’s only fitting that the indoor heated pool (open 7am to 8pm) anchors this soothing space. A flanking fireplace adds to its elemental appeal, and relaxation areas with sofas ensure kicking back comes easy. If you’d rather sit and soak, the outdoor steam bath is embraced by mesmerising mountain views.
Spa
The sprawling Gardena Spa was designed with the famed Latin phrase ‘mens sana in corpore sano’ (a sound mind in a sound body) at its forefront — an ethos still embodied today in its array of water-based offerings. Across an impressive three floors, you’ll find everything from Finnish and bio saunas, aromatic steam baths, cold plunges and whirlpools to floating pods and infrared beds. But its nine treatment rooms are where the meditative magic takes place, with a menu of Ayurvedic massages that will restore balance to the body’s three doshas. Ladies, you're in luck: there’s a second, female-only spa that features another steam bath and bio sauna.
Packing tips
An appreciation for craftsmanship: your surrounding village of Ortisei is famed for its wood carvings — a centuries-old trade still embraced today.
Also
There’s a fully equipped fitness area with qualified instructors hosting a rotating roster of water and gentle gymnastics; stretching, relaxation and yoga classes, and introductory gym sessions.

Recommended rooms
Extra beds and cots can be added to all but the Comfort rooms. The Superior I and all Chalet Suites each tout two bedrooms, and connecting options are available on request.
Crèche
Engaging and fully certified programmes are on offer at the on-site kids’ club, open from 3pm to 11pm, six days a week, for children aged three and over. The space is kitted out with arts and crafts corners, dollhouses, play kitchens and sleep areas. On request, accredited staff can also assist with dinner at a dedicated childrens’ table. Older kids have their own devoted activity area, too, with a climbing wall, table tennis and football, a Formula One simulator and indoor cinema.
Activities
Your mountainous surroundings are almost as well-equipped for families as the hotel itself. There’s a pick of private ski schools if little Smiths haven’t quite nailed the basics, short all-ages hikes and easy access to the region’s sledging and toboggan runs.
Swimming pool
Children are allowed at the spa’s indoor pool during school holidays, but otherwise it’s reserved for adults.
Meals
Anna Stuben’s Michelin-starred tasting menus aren’t exactly tailored to tots, but Gardena Restaurant and La 4 Sajons can provide plates for younger palettes.
Babysitting
Certified childminders can be brought in on request, with advance notice and for an additional charge.
