Seis am Schlern, Italy
An adults-only all-inclusive retreat at the foot of the Schlern massif, where Moroccan-Alpine fusion cuisine, sensory wellness and the vast Seiser Alm meadow shape every stay.
The Schlern massif fills the south-facing windows. Below it, the Seiser Alm stretches out, Europe's largest high-altitude alpine meadow, with 450 km of trails crossing UNESCO World Heritage terrain. Sensoria Dolomites sits right at this threshold. The hotel is adults-only, all-inclusive, and built around four pillars: Stay, Cuisine, Calm, and Active.
The mood here is ungezwungen, unconstrained. Staff describe the place as a Kraftplatz, a place of power for the outer and inner world. The Sensoria Nature Series sends guests into the landscape for Alpine Awareness walks and bird-listening sessions. Chef Hichame El Mahi brings Moroccan spice into the Dolomite kitchen at Restaurant Anima. Sustainability runs through everything, framed not as a checklist but as a lived attitude guided by six Wertepfade, value paths.
Well-being and Experience Guide Patrick leads guests on hikes and mountain bike tours across the Seiser Alm. Trails reach toward the Langkofel, Plattkofel, and Santnerspitze, with 50 alpine huts for rest stops along the way. Four via ferrata routes challenge climbers in the surrounding peaks. Seven summer lifts open higher ground without the ascent.
The Sensoria Nature Series adds a slower layer. Alpine Awareness sessions teach guests to read the landscape. Listening to Birds sharpens attention to what the forest says. The My Olympic Mindset programme brings performance coaching to the mountains. In winter, skiing and the Winterzauber programme take over. Six golf courses sit within easy reach in summer.

Restaurant Anima is the kitchen of chef Hichame El Mahi. Born in Morocco, trained in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe, he cooks a cuisine that traces a path from North Africa through Italy and France into South Tyrolean tradition. African spices meet Dolomite herbs. Garden vegetables sit alongside original products from local farms.
Every ingredient is seasonal and organic. The menu shifts with the alpine calendar. A curated wine pairing programme accompanies each course. The Genussmarkt, a small pleasure market, extends the kitchen's reach beyond the dining room. El Mahi quotes Paul Eluard: "Everything that comes from my kitchen has grown in my heart."
The Badehaus, the hotel's bathing house, anchors the wellness programme branded under the pillar Calm. An outdoor pool faces the Dolomite panorama, the Schlern and its neighbouring peaks reflected in the water on still mornings. Spa treatments and a dedicated Day Spa extend the offering to visiting guests.
The Wellness Aphrodite programme weaves body care into the hotel's sensory philosophy. Between sessions, the Seiser Alm provides its own kind of therapy. Walking the meadow at altitude, with nothing but cowbells and wind, is the simplest form of calm Sensoria Dolomites knows how to deliver.
Sensoria Dolomites sits within a UNESCO World Heritage landscape and treats that position as a founding promise. Sustainability here is not a measure but a lived attitude. Six Wertepfade, value paths, guide every decision across energy, food, knowledge, and community. The hotel thinks in regenerative cycles rather than linear consumption.
All kitchen ingredients are seasonal and organic, sourced from local farms and the hotel's own garden. The Sensoria Nature Series connects guests directly to the alpine ecosystem they are helping to protect. As the hotel states: "Sustainability is not a trend for us, but a promise, to the future, to nature, to the people who live with and in Sensoria Dolomites."
