Skiing in the Italian Alps

In the heart of the Italian South Tyrol, the Seiseralm is a magnificent plateau ringed by the Dolomites. The largest plateau in Europe, the beautifully forested and gently undulating terrain provides a wonderful winter playground. Nestled beneath the plateau is Castelrotto (also known as Kastelruth), a delightful village with breathtaking mountain views, an onion-domed church and sturdy houses brightly painted in the Tyrolean style. A cable car transfers villagers each day between Castelrotto and the Seiseralm.

At an elevation of 1700-2000 meters, snow is usually good in Castelrotto from November and there is plenty of sunshine. The cross-country skiing is outstanding for all levels while the downhill skiing is excellent for beginners and intermediate skiers; ice skating and tobogganing are additional options. A horse-drawn sleigh ride adds a magical atmosphere for all the family.

Posthotel Lamm
Located in Castelrotto’s beautiful square, the Posthotel Lamm combines the atmosphere of traditional 200-year old inn with all the comforts of a modern and stylish hotel. Accommodation consists of large rooms with private facilities and telephone. The restaurant features marvellous cuisine combining Austrian and Italian influences. The hotel also has an indoor swimming pool, sauna and Jacuzzi for the use of its guests.
