Hospitality

To delve into the most intimate soul of the Dolomites, book a stay at Hotel Crozzon. Warm family hospitality, natural furnishings, and traditional Trentino dishes prepared by the hotel staff, trained regularly by Michelin-starred chef Paolo Cappuccio, combine with a rich array of outdoor activities to offer a comprehensive experience in typical Alpine style.

For those wishing to recharge after a day at altitude and indulge in some hotel relaxation, wellness facilities are available. The Dolomiti Spa offers a rejuvenating journey for body and soul, featuring a pool, Turkish bath, bio-sauna, Finnish sauna, and massages.

Traditions and Flavours

Summer in Madonna di Campiglio is also a genuine opportunity to embark on a culinary journey, discovering extraordinary flavours and legends.

One such legend connects the “Le Roi” Restaurant to the story of a king who, upon arriving in Madonna di Campiglio, asked forest gnomes to cook their delicacies for him. The enticing aroma attracted many people and tourists from surrounding valleys, leading to the establishment of one of the area’s finest inns. Today, “Le Roi” continues to pass down the region’s ancient recipes.

The menu offers a wide selection of Trentino and Mediterranean dishes, all prepared with quality ingredients. The grilled meats are excellent, carefully selected to ensure flavour and tenderness in every bite. Not to mention the wood-fired pizza, made with a blend of top-quality Italian flours and rendered crispy and digestible through a long fermentation process.

Each dish at Le Roi is pared by an extensive selection of local and national wines and craft beers, satisfying even the most discerning palates.

During the summer, in addition to indoor dining rooms and the cosy stube, guests can also enjoy lunch or dinner outdoors on a charming terrace overlooking the historic 3Tre ski slope.
