Kolfuschgerhof Mountain Resort
Hotel Overview
Kolfuschgerhof Mountain Resort sits above the quiet village of Colfosco at the foot of the Sella group — one of the most dramatic mountain settings in Alta Badia. The resort has been in the same family for generations and combines the intimacy of a family-run hotel with the facilities of a five-star mountain resort. The spa is exceptional, the cuisine is among the finest in the valley, and the ski-in access to the Sella Ronda is unmatched.
🌿Top Amenities
Colfosco sits above Corvara at the foot of the Gardena Pass, with direct ski-in access to the Sella Ronda circuit. The village is quieter than Corvara but equally well-connected to the Alta Badia lift network. The nearest airports are Innsbruck (2 hours) and Venice Marco Polo (2.5 hours). Bolzano is approximately 1.5 hours by car. The Gardena Pass road provides a dramatic summer connection to Val Gardena.
