On 4 December 2026, Aman Rosa Alpina begins a new winter season, inviting guests to experience the timeless charm of the Italian Dolomites. Set in the mountain village of San Cassiano, beneath the peaks of La Varella and Conturines, the hotel places one of the world’s most remarkable winter landscapes on its doorstep – with days spent exploring snow-covered forests and high mountain trails giving way to fireside evenings and restorative wellness.
At the heart of Alta Badia, San Cassiano offers seamless access to Dolomiti Superski, with more than 1,200 kilometres of pistes stretching across the Dolomites. Located just 300 metres from the hotel, the Piz Sorega lift connects directly into the ski area, with a shuttle operating continuously throughout the day. The Ski Lounge and dedicated ski butler service ensure guests are well prepared for a day on the mountain, with equipment ready each morning and assistance with personalised fittings, ski passes and private instructors.
Beyond the pistes, the landscape reveals a quieter side. Privately guided snowshoe and winter hikes trace paths through silent forests and frozen valleys, while ski touring ventures into more remote terrain. For those seeking a greater challenge, ice climbing at Serrai di Sottoguda beneath the Marmolada massif offers another perspective on the mountains, led by professional guides.
Cross-country skiing takes particular focus for the 2026/27 season, offering a more immersive way to move through the landscape. Groomed Nordic trails weave through the woods and meadows surrounding San Cassiano, combining a full-body workout with the meditative rhythm of time spent in nature. Aman Rosa Alpina’s five-night Mountain Escape – Dolomite Cross Country Skiing includes daily ski rental and access to Centro Fondo Alta Badia for two guests, as well as complimentary transfers from the hotel. The experience can also be paired with yoga or stretching before setting out and a recovery massage on return, bringing movement and restoration together.
Back at Aman Rosa Alpina, winter continues at a slower pace. The hotel’s 51 rooms and suites pair natural wood and stone with expansive windows framing the surrounding mountains and village. Many feature glass-enclosed fireplaces and private balconies, creating warm, private spaces to retreat to after a day outdoors. On the top floor, the Dolomites Suite offers 360-degree views of the mountains and San Cassiano alongside a central fireplace and private outdoor Finnish sauna.
Evenings bring their own rituals. At Enju, authentic Japanese shabu-shabu is served in an intimate setting, with guests gathering around a bubbling hot pot to cook premium cuts of meat and seasonal vegetables, accompanied by fine Japanese sake and rare teas. Designed as a shared experience, the restaurant brings the ceremony and conviviality of Japanese dining to the heart of the Italian mountains.
The Aman Spa offers a restorative counterpoint to days spent outdoors. Spanning 1,684 square metres across two levels, the wellness sanctuary encompasses seven treatment suites, an adults-only indoor pool, Finnish and bio saunas, steam bath and cold plunge, as well as a heated 20-metre outdoor infinity pool surrounded by the winter landscape. Signature treatments draw on Alpine traditions, easing muscular tension and supporting recovery after time on the mountain.
For younger guests, Aman Rosa Alpina offers a host of ways to discover the Italian Dolomites. Private ski lessons with professional instructors and a choice of gentle, beginner-friendly slopes make it easy for the whole family to enjoy time on the mountain, while husky sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides offer further opportunities to explore the winter landscape together. Away from the slopes, a dedicated children’s Playroom, Teen Lounge and three cinema rooms mean there’s plenty to do off-piste too. Thoughtful touches, from a dedicated children’s menu to bespoke baby linens and in-room bottle warmers, ensure a comfortable stay for even the youngest guests.
From first tracks across freshly fallen snow to long evenings gathered around the fire, Aman Rosa Alpina reveals the many rhythms of winter in the Dolomites, with San Cassiano providing a gateway to the mountains and a welcoming retreat at day’s end.
