Hotel Al Forte

We still think about that relaxing stay in this little Italian village, even though it was quite a while ago. It was one of our most memorable ski holidays. The hotel felt quaint and cozy, the food was fantastic, the staff were amazing, and the wines were great. We'd love to go back.

Linda, Donny, and Mino made us feel so welcome at Hotel Al Forte in Arabba. They were warm, attentive, and understood what guests needed. The shuttle to the ski lifts ran smoothly, and getting to the slopes each day was easy. We also loved unwinding in the spa after skiing, before dinner. The meals were another highlight, with delicious local specialties that we looked forward to after long days on the slopes. One small thought: filter coffee at breakfast might cut the wait at the machine. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

If the hotel's location a little outside town gives you pause as a skier, the shuttle makes getting to the lifts easy. Vans run continuously at the beginning and end of the ski day and drop you at either lift complex. The hotel van takes you right to the lifts, while staying in town means a longer walk. We sometimes needed a ride outside those regular times, and a call to reception was enough for them to send a van. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel like honored guests. No request was too small or too big.

I'll definitely be back. The restaurant has a wide range of local dishes, all top quality. The staff were excellent, and the owner family did everything they could to make our stay the best.
