Hotel Fratazza, San Martino

Surrounded by conifer forests and set beneath the dramatic Pale di San Martino peaks, Hotel Fratazza enjoys a scenic location in the heart of the Dolomites. A short stroll from the Tognola cable car, it offers easy access to the area’s three small ski sectors, covering around 60km of well-groomed pistes. The resort itself is quiet and laid-back, with a handful of shops, restaurants and relaxed bars nearby.

The hotel provides a simple, no-frills base that focuses on comfort and convenience. Rooms are warmly furnished in a traditional style with wooden furniture, and include practical amenities such as a TV, safe, bathrobes and a hairdryer.

Dining is a highlight, with an on-site Italian restaurant making mealtimes easy. Guests start the day with a continental buffet breakfast before returning in the evening for a tasty three-course dinner.

Facilities are limited but well-suited to a relaxed ski stay, including a ski and boot room for equipment storage, a small games room with table football, and a cosy bar which is ideal for unwinding after a day on the slopes.
