You’ll get a preview of the days to come by heading through some Dolomite passes before arriving at your home for the next 3 nights. A good sized room in a Swiss style chalet in a small Tyrolean town. These suites are generally made for vacationing skiers in the winter. Since it's the summer time, the resort is pleased to give riders like us friendly Alpine hospitality. The town is a resort community with plenty of stores, restaurants and other services but nothing too sophisticated.
