Located just two hours from Venice, this northern gem is one of Italy’s favourite destinations and will host the Winter Olympics in 2026. In winter, it is home to one of the most beautiful ski slopes, and in summer, it boasts a magnificent landscape dotted with stunning lakes, including Lago di Misurina and, a little further away, the magnificent Lago di Braies. As promising snowfall approaches and the prospect of a relaxing getaway becomes more appealing, the slightly off-the-beaten-track Rosapetra looks like the perfect place to spend Christmas. This alpine chalet has 33 meticulously decorated rooms, all offering breathtaking views and cuisine to die for. Whether you’re looking to warm up or recover after a day on the slopes, the hotel is fully equipped to meet every need, with a state-of-the-art gym, a complete wellness circuit with ice waterfalls (a local speciality), saunas, and a spacious swimming pool.
