Your family hotel in the Dolomites, Italy

Ideal for a family holiday in South Tyrol

At the Berghotel in the Dolomites, your hotel for eventful and enjoyable family vacation at Sesto in South Tyrol, there are perfect conditions for families with children. This applies especially if the parents intend to spend the holidays in the Dolomites, with their children, rather than relaxing and getting away from them.

The hotel and our outlook are ideal especially for all active families, who can find a perfect family hotel at the Berghotel in the Dolomites. Talking walks with the children, building a dam over the clear waters of a stream, living in close contact with unspoilt nature... A wonderful world of adventure is waiting for you and your dear ones here in the Dolomites, come and discover it!

Not only in summer, but also the colder seasons offer their "family size" features here in the Dolomites of Sesto: in winter, from the balcony of the Berghotel, you can watch your children skiing on the Brugger ski track just nearby.

We recommend that families with children, especially small children, purchase the 3 Zinnen Mountain Card (children under 8 years are free).

In this way, tours can be undertaken with children where there are only small ascents to master and great experiences are guaranteed.

Our guided hikes are not suitable for families, because there are at least 500 metres of altitude to master and children have their own rhythm and take breaks when they need to.
