FORESTIS caters equally well to those seeking a more active stay in the Dolomites, taking advantage of this sublime outdoor playground that inspires the senses, whatever the season. From late spring right through to late autumn, take to the spectacular mountain trails for hiking, wild swimming or cycling – perhaps making use of the walking poles or the e-bikes available to hire. During the winter months, the picturesque slopes of the Plose ski resort are right on the doorstep, and visitors can also take advantage of uplifting seasonal activities such as snowshoeing and dog sledding.
To fuel your adventures, the hotel’s amphitheatre-like panoramic restaurant serves up exquisitely assembled ‘forest cuisine’, looking out to an uninterrupted backdrop of jagged peaks. As many ingredients as possible in the daily tasting menus are sourced from the immediate surroundings - and none originate from outside Italy. For libations, FORESTIS’ rooftop bar claims to be the highest in the world, and here the sylvan theme continues with a range of carefully blended cocktails. As another day in the mountains draws to a close, rest your head in one of the 62 rooms and suites, all of which are furnished in blonde woods and a neutral palette designed to draw the eye out to the splendour of the surrounding mountains and forests. Upgrading to a suite brings the benefits of floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony or terrace while the Penthouse, with its tower-top position, private pool and sauna, is the quite literally the pinnacle of all the suites.
