The pleasure of Alpine Wellness cuisine

A culinary journey full of surprises in Alta Badia

The old traditional way of cooking is respected combining it with the progress of modern cuisine, as is the cuisine of the Garden in Colfosco. Even starting from breakfast, you will taste the flavours of our cuisine and in the evenings you will enjoy from the buffet, salad, appetisers and cheeses along with a choice of 3 courses from the menu.

In choosing the processes and techniques of preparation, we always try to vary from tradition by adhering to guidelines of nutritional research. The targeted use of local and regional products is of prime importance and is the foundation of our cuisine.

We offer our guests an Alpine-Wellness half board treatment: modern, contemporary and attractive that meets the following characteristics:

  • the well-being of people
  • the principles of modern nutritional research
  • using local Alpine products
  • aromas, flavours and Alpine herbs
  • contemporary preparation techniques

We must not forget the great Ladin dishes, national and international that are constantly being reinterpreted in a modern key and we are happy to offer the option of gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Finally, wines from major South Tyrolean labels, but not only, will enrich your dining experience in our dining room or in the lounge overlooking the Dolomites.

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, add them to the onion and leave to flavour, remove herbs, pork rind and garlic. Pour in white wine, let it evaporate and cover it with the hay infusion.
