Small British Alpine Hotel

capitolo 4

Trace of a journey.
Embrace the mountain

Here, the mountain is more than a view :
it is a way of life.

A holiday is not about bringing work with you or ticking off a list of activities.
It is about slowing down, changing pace, and letting Bormio and Alta Valtellina quietly set the rhythm.

In Summer

Relax in the outdoor hot tub, with sweeping views over the alpine valley and surrounding peaks, at QC Terme Bormio Spa.

Walk through the Stelvio National Park, cycle towards the Stelvio, the Gavia or the Mortirolo, cross quiet valleys leading to alpine lakes, or spend a day at Bormio Golf Club, between fairways and mountain peaks, where lessons and introductory courses offer a gentle way into the game, even for younger guests.

Families, too, find their own rhythm: easy walks, open meadows and paths that invite you to slow down.

More to explore

Beyond the trails and mountain rides, summer in Bormio offers moments of lightness: paragliding flights above the valley, picnics by the river, and evenings in open-air bars with aperitifs and live music.

In Winter

Ski on the slopes of Bormio, with the legendary Stelvio run descending towards the town. Ski touring and freeride for those seeking quieter slopes, snowshoe walks through the Stelvio National Park among snow-covered woods and clearings. Ski schools and qualified instructors guide both adults and children through their first steps on snow, with dedicated areas and tailored programmes. Each day can be different, shaped by the conditions, the weather and your desire to be outdoors.

More to explore

Ice skating, sleddog rides through the woods, and alternative snow routes offer new perspectives on winter.
Perfect also for non-skiers, they remind us that the mountain is not only about adrenaline, but above all about beauty.

All year round

Bormio is home to two historic thermal baths: Bagni Vecchi and Bagni Nuovi, known since Roman times and even mentioned by Pliny the Elder. Alongside them, Terme di Bormio offers indoor and outdoor pools open throughout the year, welcoming families and younger guests alike. Three distinct places, one enduring water tradition that has shaped this valley for centuries.
The thermal water rises naturally from deep within the mountain, rich in minerals, and has flowed here for more than two thousand years.

More to explore

Autumn foliage, the red deer’s call echoing through the woods, spring in bloom.
Strolls through the historic centre, small alpine villages, local food and wine, a visit to Cantine Braulio, or a panoramic journey aboard the Trenino Rosso del Bernina — simple experiences to be enjoyed at any time of year.

Once back at the hotel

Fai come a casa tua.

We welcome you with the quiet discretion of an English country home and the natural warmth of the mountains.
Our aim is to make your stay simple and effortless, leaving space only for what truly matters. All the answers to the most important questions can be found on our Contact page.

Entra senza fretta, riparti senza pensieri.

Every arrival has its own rhythm, every departure its own thread.

The hotel is open in Winter from December to April, and in Summer from June to September.

Check-in is available from 2.00 pm, and check-out is by 11.00 am on the day of departure.

Viaggia leggero, senza pensieri.

For those arriving early or leaving later in the day, luggage is never a concern. You are welcome to leave it at the hotel at no extra charge and enjoy your time in Bormio freely, making the most of what makes it special.

Ski easier, ski happier.

Guests of Alpi & Golf Hotel can make use of complimentary ski storage at the Ski & Bike shop, conveniently located right next to the cable car departure point. A practical service that allows you to leave your skis and boots there and return to the hotel unencumbered, without having to carry them back and forth each day.

Your morning ride to the mountains.

Each morning, from 8.00 am to 10.00 am, we offer a complimentary shuttle service taking guests directly to the Bormio cable cars.

A safe place for your car as well.

If you are travelling by car, you will find convenient options to suit your needs. We offer complimentary outdoor parking spaces, as well as covered indoor parking at a cost of €8 per night. Public pay-and-display car parks are also available nearby. Whatever your choice, your car is in safe hands.

Little guests, big smiles.

Children are most welcome. Our love for the mountains is the simple kind — the kind that feels at home among the peaks.

We welcome them with care, providing cots, bed guards, high chairs and small comforts upon request.

**For the preparation of baby food or specific dietary requirements, we kindly ask you to arrange this in advance with reception, preferably before booking.

Our shared spaces are enjoyed by all guests, so we gently ask that children are accompanied in their movements and play, helping us preserve the quiet atmosphere that defines our home.

Well-behaved pets, warmly welcomed.

We are pleased to welcome your travelling companions, provided they are no larger than medium size.

To ensure a peaceful stay for all, we can accommodate only a limited number of pets throughout the hotel, so we kindly ask you to inform us in advance of their presence.

Pets are welcome in the rooms, but they are not permitted in the dining room. They may be left alone in the room only during breakfast and dinner, and we kindly ask that they do not bark while waiting for your return.

We would also ask you to take care with our wooden furnishings, which are a cherished part of the house.

There is no additional charge — we are simply glad they can enjoy the mountains with you.

Pack less, enjoy more.

For those who wish to travel light and enjoy their holiday without concerns, a laundry service is available.

For further information or requests, please contact reception directly.

We take care of the journey.

Arriving from afar? We can arrange personalised transfers to and from the main airports and railway stations, as well as to places of interest in the surrounding area.

Travel becomes part of the pleasure.

Slow moments, shared together.

At the hotel you will find a small selection of board games, perfect for the quieter moments of the day — whether to challenge one another, share a laugh, or simply enjoy a different kind of afternoon after walking or skiing.

From timeless classics to games better suited to children, they are all available for our guests.

We kindly ask that they are used with consideration in the shared spaces and returned after use, so they may remain a shared pleasure for everyone.

Quiet corners, timeless stories.

The hotel lounge is filled with books: novels, classics, essays, a few titles devoted to the mountains, and readings for the slower moments of the day.

A corner of the house where you may pause for a while, read, leaf through a magazine, or simply enjoy the quiet after a day spent outdoors.

Fresh air, gentle moments.

Our garden is a quiet retreat — a place to sit back, breathe in the mountain air, read a book or simply enjoy a moment of sunshine.

An easy place in which to begin the day, or to let it gently draw to a close. In summer, it is quietly cherished by many of our guests.

Conversations over a map
The concierge

At Alpi & Golf there are no set itineraries.
Sometimes an open map on the table is enough for an idea to take shape — a walk, a mountain hut, a quiet viewpoint.

A simple, unhurried moment, where conversation flows easily and each stay finds its own direction.

It is not a remote service, but a quiet moment of conversation, reserved for guests staying with us.
Every conversation begins here, within the house.

An indoor dining area featuring a green velvet bench, a bookcase, and wide glass windows overlooking the lounge.
