Luxury Meets the Soul: Our Wellness Experience at Hotel Sassongher
Corvara in Badia (BZ) – Tucked away in the heart of the Dolomites, Hotel Sassongher is more than just a place to stay; it is a historic landmark where nature, luxury, and well-being exist in perfect harmony. From the moment we arrived at this retreat, we felt the weight of a history that spans centuries. This family-owned house has been a pillar of authentic hospitality for generations, and it remains synonymous with an excellence that balances world-class sport with profound relaxation and top-level comfort.
The heart of our stay was the wellness experience. The SPA here is a true sanctuary of relaxation. We spent our afternoons in the panoramic swimming pool, where the water seems to mirror the majestic peaks outside. One of the highlights was the Sky SPA, where the views of the mountains make you feel as though you are floating above the valley. On this top-floor lounge terrace, a massive whirlpool allows you to soak beneath the stars while watching the 'Enrosadira'—the magical alpenglow—turn the peaks a glowing rose. The variety of saunas, from the traditional Finnish to the gentle warmth of the infrared, provided a complete detox. To deepen the restoration, the relax lounge is furnished with hammocks against the glow of a log fire to warm the body and soul. Every treatment we experienced, from the regenerating massages to the mountain-herb rituals that harness the healing properties of the Dolomites, was delivered with a level of care that felt incredibly personal. Every detail is meticulously created to ensure an atmosphere of unparalleled peace and tranquility.
The cuisine further elevated the experience. Every meal felt like a journey through Alpine traditions, artfully reinterpreted with a modern lightness. We found ourselves looking forward to dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients, perfectly paired with selections from the hotel’s private cellar. Beyond the dining experience, the rooms and suites are meticulously furnished to ensure a stay that is as relaxing as it is unforgettable, providing a peaceful sanctuary to retreat to at the end of each day.
Walking into the Sassongher felt like returning to a second home. There is an unmistakable soul to this hotel—you feel it in the historic, 16th-century wood-paneled rooms and in the quiet, attentive hospitality that has defined this place for nearly a century. After a day in the cold, sinking into the warmth of the spa and then sharing a meal that tasted of the mountains themselves was exactly what I needed to recharge. It was more than just a luxury stay; it was a return to something authentic and timeless, where the care is so personal that every other worry just seems to fall quiet.
Whether we were heading out to the nearby Dolomiti Superski slopes or simply enjoying the breathtaking views from our suite, the hotel felt like a protective haven. The staff personally tailors every detail of the stay to your individual pace, making sure the experience feels effortless from start to finish—from organizing private helicopter transfers to arranging intimate mountain picnics. For those looking to experience the Dolomites through a lens of quiet luxury and authentic soul, Hotel Sassongher is the definitive choice.
