CHALET SALENA

A stay at Chalet Salena unfolds to the rhythm of the Gsieser Valley itself — unhurried, quietly generous, shaped by the seasons and the scent of stone pine that permeates every room. Nestled among the farmsteads and fir forests of Santa Maddalena at 1,400 metres, each of the seven chalets is a self-contained world of contemporary alpine design, private wellness, and panoramic Dolomite views from its own loggia. The service, meanwhile, is felt rather than seen: regional breakfasts delivered at dawn, handmade patisserie appearing in the fridge, dinner brought to the door in a traditional cast-iron pan. The vast spa facilities of the neighbouring five-star Quelle Resort complete a proposition that is at once deeply secluded and discreetly five-star.
