Uniqueness
Wood lines every room at Hotel La Majun. Not as decoration, but as structure, scent, warmth. The Rinna Mellauner family built these spaces to feel like home, not a hotel lobby. Outside, the Puez-Odle and Fanes-Senes-Braies massifs fill the windows. La Villa sits at the heart of Alta Badia, a Ladin village where Dolomiti peaks rise on all sides.
The family calls their approach "accogliervi e un'arte," welcoming as an art form. It shows in the details, the generational knowledge passed down, the quiet confidence of a house run the same way for decades. Elegance, tradition, and modernity sit together without competing. This is not a polished resort. It is a family home scaled just enough to share.

In summer, Hotel La Majun turns its terrace into the setting for cooking classes. The classes focus on recipes from the Ladin tradition and are paired with a selection of South Tyrolean wines. The hotel lists the experience as available from June to September and states that the price is on request.
Gastronomy
The kitchen follows what the family calls "Gusto e Tradizioni," taste rooted in tradition. A gourmet restaurant anchors the evening, while the Wine Bar, or Enoteca, pours regional South Tyrolean and Italian labels. Mornings start with a full buffet breakfast. Afternoons bring "dolci delizie pomeridiane," sweet treats served between the slopes and dinner. The approach is Ladin Alpine, shaped by the seasons and the altitude of Alta Badia.

After a day on the Dolomiti trails or piste, this is where the body unwinds. Treatments are available through a dedicated menu. The scale is generous for a family-run hotel, quiet enough to feel private.
