COMO Alpina Dolomites

Character and identity

Set high on the Seiser Alm, Europe's largest Alpine plateau and part of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites, this COMO property is a study in remote, design-led mountain living. The circular main building by De Biasi & Comploi mirrors the jagged peaks outside, while the interiors lean on pale wood, stone, glass and fireplaces to soften the minimalism. The signature element is the spa pool that flows from indoors to outdoors, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. COMO Shambhala anchors wellness with Finnish, bio-herb and saline-aromatic steam treatments, and ski-in, ski-out access puts the slopes at the door.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The setting is the whole proposition here: a sculptural, eco-conscious lodge alone on a high plateau, with a pool that opens onto the Dolomites and pink sunsets that justify the trip on their own. Book it if you want nature and wellness over après-ski nightlife, and aim for a room with full mountain-facing glazing. Winter delivers the ski-in access; high summer unlocks the hiking and climbing.
