Italians famously love their coffee and obviously the cafe culture is King in the Dolomites. The terrace at the Hotel Soleil in La Villa makes a coffee, with a stunning view over the Dolomites. On the Sellaronda, stop in at the Raetia for a home-made cake in their ‘Stua dal te’ – tea room.

Best day out? The Lagazuoi ski tour: take the cable car to the top of Mount Lagazuoi, warm up on the red run back to the valley base. After your second cable car ride up, take the 8.5km Red Armentarola following the enchanting Fanes valley and down to Sass Dlacia. From here a horse drawn lift will tow you back to the ski slopes.
