Chalet Fogajard

Top choice in Trentino & South Tyrol


If you're looking for a mountain retreat, this six-room Alpine idyll will fit the bill. Its remote location, down a steep dirt track way south of Madonna's resort row, is stupefyingly beautiful and blissfully silent. Rooms have a craft ethos that seems from another era, and an atmospheric dining room delivers hearty, wholesome, locally sourced meals.

With sweeping views of a deep, wooded valley and the jagged Brenta peaks beyond, balcony rooms are worth the extra euros.
