Book the Aman Rosa Alpina with VIP Benefits

In the heart of the Dolomites, one of Europe's most striking mountain landscapes, Aman Rosa Alpina stands as a reimagined symbol of refined Alpine living. The historic property in San Cassiano, a charming village in Alta Badia, has long welcomed travelers with its warm hospitality and sense of place. Now fully embraced into the Aman portfolio after a thoughtful renovation led by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, the hotel balances the authenticity of its Alpine heritage with the brand's celebrated design language. The result is a destination that redefines mountain living, offering a sanctuary for wellness, adventure, and timeless luxury.

Nestled beneath the peaks of La Varella and Conturines, the hotel provides year-round opportunities for exploration. In winter, it opens directly onto the world-renowned Dolomiti Superski area, with its 1,200 kilometers of pristine ski runs and 450 lifts. In summer, it becomes a base for hiking, cycling, and mountaineering amid the UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Whether blanketed in snow or basking in golden sunlight, Aman Rosa Alpina remains a destination for restoration and inspiration.

The Journey to San Cassiano

Reaching Aman Rosa Alpina is itself a scenic prelude to the experience. The village of San Cassiano lies at 1,537 meters above sea level, framed by the dramatic silhouettes of the Dolomites. Visitors may arrive from Venice, Innsbruck, Bolzano, or Milan, with transfer times ranging from a brief 90 minutes to a longer, leisurely five-hour drive. Helicopter transfers shorten the journey dramatically, offering an unforgettable bird's-eye view of the Alpine peaks. The change of seasons brings dramatic contrasts: winters are crisp and snowy, while summers are pleasantly cool, with temperatures between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius. This seasonal diversity ensures that each visit feels unique, shaped by the rhythms of nature.

Rooms and Suites Inspired by the Mountains

With only 51 rooms and suites, Aman Rosa Alpina ensures intimacy and exclusivity. Each accommodation harmonizes with the surrounding landscape through natural materials such as wood and stone, while floor-to-ceiling windows invite the mountains indoors. Many rooms include private balconies with expansive views, while fireplaces create a sense of warmth and seclusion.

The entry-level Superior Rooms, ranging from 43 to 59 square meters, feature working fireplaces and spa-like bathrooms. Deluxe Rooms add private balconies and walk-in wardrobes, while Premier Rooms enhance the sense of space and comfort. The Rosa Alpina Rooms embody the essence of Alpine living with south-facing balconies that open to forest views.

Suites elevate the experience further, ranging from the intimate Junior Suite to the expansive Rosa Alpina Suite, with its dining area and panoramic outlooks. The Zeno Suite introduces private luxury with a bar, cinema, hammam, and private garden, while the Dolomites Suite adds an outdoor sauna on its terrace. At the pinnacle lies the Aman Suite, a 158-square-meter retreat with two bedrooms, a south-facing terrace, and generous living and dining areas. Each room category speaks to different needs, from romantic escapes to multigenerational family gatherings.

A Canvas of Art and Design

Aman Rosa Alpina's connection to its cultural heritage is reflected in the bespoke works of Brigitte Niedermair, the internationally acclaimed photographer who once worked at the hotel in the 1990s. Her commissioned textiles, inspired by imaginary mountain landscapes, hang in the reception and Il Salotto. Produced by Giovanni Bonotto, these woven pieces bring the Dolomites indoors in dreamlike, textured form. This artistic narrative complements Jean-Michel Gathy's architectural vision, ensuring that the property feels both rooted in history and forward-looking in design.

Gastronomy at the Peak of Flavor

Dining at Aman Rosa Alpina is an exploration of tradition, innovation, and global influence, guided by Executive Chef Gianluca Salvato. The Grill offers fresh, seasonal cuisine and family-style dishes, with an open kitchen and live grill adding vibrancy to the dining experience. The restaurant also serves artisanal pizzas alongside a wide-ranging wine list. Its terrace, overlooking the village and San Cassiano church, creates a memorable backdrop for summer evenings.

Il Salotto, the Alpine lounge, provides a relaxed yet refined setting throughout the day, serving light meals, teas, and refined beverages. As night falls, the space transforms into an atmospheric piano bar. For mornings, the Heritage Room welcomes guests with a lavish international breakfast amid natural light and forest views. This space doubles as an elegant venue for weddings and celebrations.

The hotel's culinary offerings extend further with the Cigar Lounge, a wood-paneled retreat for aged spirits and premium cigars, and the Di Vino Room, a connoisseur's library dedicated to rare vintages and immersive tastings. Adding a distinctive dimension, Akari – opening for the winter season 2025–2026 – will introduce the art of Japanese Shabu Shabu dining, with a multi-course tasting menu accompanied by fine sake and rare teas.

Spaces for Leisure and Entertainment

Aman Rosa Alpina caters to both quiet reflection and lively engagement. Families will appreciate the children's Playroom, the Teen Lounge, and the Billiard Room, while three private cinema rooms offer cozy screenings for up to twelve guests. These entertainment spaces ensure that every generation finds joy and relaxation during their stay.

Wellness and the Aman Spa

Wellness is at the heart of the Aman philosophy, and Rosa Alpina exemplifies this through its expansive two-level Aman Spa. Here, seven treatment suites, two medical treatment rooms, and a Hair and Nail Salon form a complete sanctuary. Guests may alternate between the 20-meter heated outdoor infinity pool, the indoor swimming pool with forest views, and a circuit of saunas, steam rooms, Jacuzzis, and cold plunges. Signature treatments, such as the Alpine Muscle Relief massage, are designed to rejuvenate after days spent in the mountains.

The spa is complemented by a fully equipped TechnoGym fitness center, private training sessions, and a serene yoga studio. An outdoor Zen garden provides an intimate space for reflection in summer, while the surrounding forest lends a meditative backdrop year-round.

Adventures Beyond the Hotel

The Dolomites invite exploration in every season. In summer and autumn, hiking trails weave through valleys and peaks, accessible directly from the hotel without the need for transfers. Mountain biking, road cycling, and high-altitude running challenge athletes, while via ferrata climbing routes open access to dramatic summits.
