Long renowned as one of the Dolomites’ most iconic destinations, Aman Rosa Alpina opened its doors in July 2025 following a monumental transformation into a fully-fledged Aman. In the heart of San Cassiano village, its reawakening unveiled not only a reimagined mountain retreat, but a collection of restaurants and culinary experiences paying tribute to its storied past.

From family-style, Italian feasting at The Grill to intimate wine tastings in the Di Vino Room, Aman Rosa Alpina not only emerged as a new sanctuary but added to the region’s rich culinary scene.

Beyond the table, the Dolomiti Superski region awaits – a vast alpine landscape of 1,200 kilometres of slopes stretching across the UNSECO-protected Dolomites. From the hotel’s home in San Cassiano village, this snowsports playground is made effortlessly accessible via the hotel’s Ski Butler service, Ski Lounge and seamless shuttle transfers to the nearby Piz Sorega lift. Alternatively, guests can take to the peaks through a range of guided experiences including snowshoeing, winter hiking and ice climbing, with a host of curated adventures bringing the slopes to life.

Perhaps the most moving of experiences is WWI Ski Tour, which follows in the footsteps of soldiers more than a century ago. Beginning atop Lagazuoi mountain with a 7.5-kilometre descent, the journey takes guests across 80 kilometres of scenic terrain, combining the exhilaration of skiing with poignant stories of time gone by, visiting significant wartime sites and vantage points that shaped history. The day concludes with lunch, where hearty regional cuisine is served by the fire, allowing a moment to reflect on the day’s discoveries.

Perfectly connected lifts and groomed slopes enable skiers to trace nearly 30 kilometres of trails in one seamless loop, never crossing the same piste twice. The circuit reveals the Dolomites’ vistas at their most awe-inspiring, with the unmatched sense of freedom for which this legendary route has become renowned.
