Excelsior Dolomites Life Resort
2nd place: Unique natural beauty, unforgettable experiences, and pure relaxation: the Excelsior Dolomites Life Resort offers the perfect setting for your dream vacation.
Nestled in South Tyrol’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the heart of the Dolomites, the Excelsior Dolomites Life Resort is an oasis of well-being where honesty and authenticity are wholeheartedly embraced in our interactions with one another, with nature, and with our guests.
Above the rooftops of San Vigilio lies a place where opposites not only attract but merge in perfect harmony. The Excelsior Dolomites Life Resort offers luxury and family-style hospitality; relaxation and adventure; gourmet cuisine featuring local products; tradition and design.
The Dolomites Sky Spa, exclusively for adults on the rooftop with a breathtaking panoramic infinity pool and various relaxation oases, sets new standards. The rest of the family is also well taken care of at the Belvita hotel, as the new Dolomites Family Spa—equipped with a pool featuring a waterfall and a children’s pool with a slide, various relaxation areas, and saunas for all ages—leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to five new deluxe rooms and two exclusive suites, the restaurant and buffet area were renovated in 2024 and expanded to include an open kitchen. The focus here is on South Tyrolean recipes with influences from Mediterranean and international haute cuisine, conjured up from high-quality ingredients sourced from small local producers. Aperitifs and digestifs are showcased by the bartenders’ spectacular cocktail shows.
The resort, which has been awarded the prestigious GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) certificate for sustainability, is the ideal starting point for all sporting activities.
In winter, the Excelsior offers skiing adventures, exciting snowshoe hikes, or relaxing winter walks. Thanks to ski-in, ski-out access, guests can head straight from the ski room to the slopes of the popular Kronplatz ski area, which connects to the Sellaronda.
In summer, the resort is the perfect starting point for hikes, MTB and e-bike tours, and walks. As an Elite Mountain Bike Hotel and member of the Hiking Hotels association, it offers expertise, competence, and unique opportunities for active mountain enthusiasts. The Call family, who run the resort, are passionate about exploring the surrounding mountains—their home—and show their guests the most beautiful spots, tours, and routes. A varied program of activities and experiences is on the agenda every day. Sports enthusiasts are just as well catered for here as families or couples looking to experience a unique vacation in the heart of the mountains. For this, the resort has been honored multiple times with the Aktiv Hotel Award in the categories of mountain sports and biking.
