Hotel Overview
Hotel Sassongher has been at the heart of Corvara's alpine life for generations. Named after the dramatic peak that towers above the village, it is one of the most beloved hotels in Alta Badia — a place where returning guests are greeted by name and where the quality of the cooking, the warmth of the service, and the beauty of the setting combine into something genuinely special. The hotel has ski-in access to the Sella Ronda and a spa that punches well above its weight.
