Not every retreat changes the way you move through the world—but Excelsior Dolomites Life Resort in San Vigilio does exactly that.

Born as a simple inn in 1961, it now stands as a confident alpine hideaway, blending Tyrolean warmth with modern lodge elegance. From ski-in/ski-out access at Plan de Corones to direct entry into the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, here the Dolomites aren’t scenery, they’re your playground.

At its summit, the Sky Spa stretches across 2,500 m², crowned by a rooftop infinity pool that seems to float among the peaks. Families are embraced with dedicated wellness zones, supervised activities, and space to feel part of the adventure.

And then there’s the Call family—hosts who understand that true luxury isn’t loud. It’s quiet attention, anticipation, and a feeling of belonging.

Excelsior isn’t just a stay. It’s a place that restores clarity, strength and perspective—exactly what the mountains were made for.
