Hotel Chalet Gerard - The mountain lodge

Chalet Gerard - The Mountain Lodge is a charming boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Selva di Val Gardena, one of the Dolomites' most spectacular destinations. This intimate property combines Alpine hospitality with refined comfort, offering guests an authentic mountain experience with breathtaking views of the Sella Group and Sassolungo peaks. Built on a foundation of family tradition dating back to 1964, when the owners' father constructed a ski lift at the base of Piz Culac and added a small refreshment stop, Chalet Gerard has evolved into a beloved destination that honors its heritage while embracing modern amenities. The lodge is perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless connection between guests and nature. At its heart lies the restaurant and café, where the mother's legendary cooking—featuring traditional recipes and her renowned strudel—continues to captivate visitors. The kitchen maintains a philosophy of authenticity, combining time-honored techniques with the finest local ingredients, available for both casual lunch service and intimate dinners. The property is ideally situated for outdoor enthusiasts, offering direct access to the Sellaronda ski circuit in winter and exceptional hiking and biking trails during summer months. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or an active mountain retreat, Chalet Gerard delivers an experience rooted in genuine warmth, reciprocity, and the simple pleasure of feeling at home in the mountains. Open seasonally from late May through mid-October and December through early April.
