Uniqueness
Berghotel Sexten stands at the base of the 3 Zinnen Dolomites in Sesto. Trails and ski runs start from the front door. The building rises in wood, stone, and glass, shaped to echo the peaks behind it. Seven different saunas look out at those peaks. A natural bathing pond sits beside the hotel, fed by mountain water.
The hotel calls itself the hiking hotel No. 1 in the Italian Dolomites. That claim rests on location, not marketing. Val Fiscalina opens a few minutes away. Ski-in-ski-out access removes the need for transfers. Sustainability runs through daily operations, from organic kitchens to a simple motto: we don't want to waste and pollute.
