The Rosa Alpina Hotel & Spa or its sister property the Ciasa Antersies, both located in the mountain village of San Cassiano, makes the perfect base for a Dolomites holidays. The village played an important role during WWI as all provisions for the Austro-Hungarian Emperor's troops had to pass through San Cassiano, and it retains a strong Tyrolean feel.
This surrounding region, known as Alta Badia, offers a huge array of summer activities for all ages. Mountain biking or trekking are the ideal ways to explore the countryside and there are a wide range of routes to suit cyclists of all abilities and plenty of mountain restaurants to stop at for long leisurely lunches.
The Dolomites Kids summer programme at the hotels is designed to keep children busy and happy for the duration of the holiday so for the more intrepid parents (or teens) the via ferrata are a must. These mountain walkways are equipped with fixed cables, ladders, and bridges and the very first originated in the Dolomites during the First World War, to aid the movement of mountain infantry. These climbs offer unprecedented panoramic views of Alta Badia.
