A Summer Escape to Badia Hill

There are alpine hotels—and then there’s Badia Hill. Set against the cinematic backdrop of the Dolomites, this family-run hideaway offers something rare: the intimacy of a boutique stay, the finesse of a Michelin-level kitchen, and the soul of a place built with deep, personal devotion. I first visited for a ski weekend at the tail end of the season, when spring sunshine lit up Alta Badia’s still-skiable pistes. But even then, I could feel it: this place wasn’t just made for winter.
