Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at these Ortisei hotels?
Pet policies vary significantly. Hotel Montchalet (position 12) explicitly allows pets—check the policy at booking. Most apartments like Cësa Marmolada 1318 (position 5) and Residence Ciastel (position 11) do not list pets in their facilities. For a guaranteed pet-friendly stay, call the property directly before booking. The best town to stay in the dolomites for pet owners would be any property that confirms pet acceptance in writing.
Which hotels offer free cancellation?
None of the properties in this list explicitly advertise free cancellation in their provided data. Many Ortisei hotels offer flexible rates that include free cancellation up to 24-48 hours before arrival, but it varies by season. We recommend booking directly on Booking.com and filtering by “Free cancellation” to see applicable rates. Properties like B&B Hotel Mirabel (position 2) and Residence Cesa Sassela (position 7) are known to offer flexible options.

Ortisei shines year-round. For winter sports, December to March delivers reliable snow on the Alpe di Siusi slopes—properties with ski-to-door access like Residence Ciastel (position 11) and Hotel Weisses Rössl (position 10) are ideal. Summer (June to September) is perfect for hiking the Seceda ridgeline and biking the Val Gardena valley. Late September offers fewer crowds and golden larch colors. The best town to stay in the dolomites for year-round access is unquestionably Ortisei.
How do I get from Bolzano Airport to Ortisei?
Bolzano Airport (BZO) is about 39 km from Ortisei—roughly a 40-minute drive. A pre-booked taxi or airport transfer costs around 60-80 EUR.

Most apartments in this list (Cesa Setil, position 19, and Avita, position 18) offer free on-site parking if you rent a car at the airport.
What’s the most walkable area in Ortisei?
The pedestrian zone around Rezia Street is the most walkable area, housing ADLER Dolomiti (position 4) with its 9.8 location score and Villa Aurelia (position 17) nearby.
