A former royal sanatorium turned cure-all hideaway, Forestis boasts jaw-dropping views of the Dolomites from every angle. With modern architecture, minimalist style and floor-to-ceiling windows, the combination of these elements brings the natural environment in, and creates a regenerative haven in the middle of the mountains.
Once a curative retreat for Austrian royals, this retreat in the clouds is still just as wellness-focused with views over the Dolomites and a divine spa making for the perfect prescription
LOCATION
Located 1,800 meters above sea level in a densely wooded area, Forestis has its head well and truly in the clouds. In this particularly scenic patch of the Dolomites, Forestis is a unique one-of-a-kind building that has been designed in harmony with the outside (think stone, wood, and glass). With nature all around, pure spring water, and fresh mountain air, this is the perfect place to relax.
To make the most of the locale, there are some incredible activities ensuring you get plenty of time outdoors in the year-round temperate climate, breathing in the fresh mountain air. The hotel is fully ski-in, ski-out so enjoy the hotel’s prime location on a slope in the Plose ski resort. Guided hikes will take you through the forests where (for the brave) you can stop at a nearby lake for wild swimming. Or, take to the skies as you go paragliding. Commune with nature through forest bathing, go foraging with the chef, or try your hand at wyda (a Celtic form of yoga).
The suites bring nature into each room, with natural materials and a minimalist style reflecting the peace of the forest. Each room boasts dreamy views and are flooded with light, but it’s the penthouse suite that’s the star of the show: its tower position affords it spectacular panoramas, with an open fireplace and personal bar as well as a sauna and private pool with a view of the Dolomites.
WHAT MAKES THIS HOTEL UNIQUE?
The food at Forestis follows the philosophy that nutrition is the core of life, and the chefs seek inspiration from the surrounding landscape by using seasonal ingredients. Blending traditional and modern methods to create works of gourmet art, many ingredients (mushrooms, berries, nuts, seeds, pine) are foraged locally, and there are no ingredients from outside Italy.
The Forestis Spa takes its inspiration from the natural phenomena and the wisdom of the Celts, who developed their vast knowledge of healing in these forests and mountains. Spreading over two levels in one of the towers, the glass-fronted spa has incredible views to further instil relaxation. There’s a large pool, filled with natural spring water, which is swim-in, swim-out, as well as seven saunas. Treatments tap into the frequencies and healing properties of local mountain and stone pines, spruce and larch, allowing the body to regenerate deeply and effectively.
