Skiing 3Zinnen Dolomites

& Joas Natur Hotel



The cross-country trails seem never-ending; we call them a cross-country heaven. The ski slopes of 3 Peaks Dolomites Ski Resort, situated on the terrace of the Joas hotel, are always perfectly prepared and inviting. Breakfast consists of amazing delicacies served every morning, lovingly prepared from local ingredients. The whole experience is excellent, the hotel is immaculate. The attention to detail is evident in the impressive spa, where body and mind truly find peace in the unspoiled nature protected by UNESCO. In the end, we could not help but to fall in love with the whole region; nature, is always there to nourish your soul and the best hosting experience is guaranteed by the owners.

Because they truly are what they strive to be. They say they are natural and they bring nature into the hotel rooms with wide balconies and terraces, to enhance the sensation of being in nature

Their philosophy is to be individual – in the sense that they value an individual and tend to the customers’ wishes. In the morning, they serve the best breakfast in a very cozy and bright eating room. The owners are always friendly and make you feel at home.
 
The many little details remind you that someone selected them very carefully for you, like the best fair trade shower gel in the room, or palm leaves slippers to enter the spa, even if you are in the Dolomites. The design of the JOAS nature hotel, the edifice itself, complies with strict climate regulations imposed by the Climate House Agency: high-quality organic materials were used to preserve the environment and to be free of toxins, and healthy at the same time. We really appreciate such a fact when choosing a getaway. The room, Spa, Lobby, still have that beautiful smell of wood. The wood used for the construction of the nature hotel comes from forests belonging to JOAS owners and was processed locally. They stay true to their tradition, as is evident from the details of hotel design, which is modern but true to the traditional architecture of the region.

3 Peaks slopes...

In the last few years, we didn't really ski a lot, but as we were passing the Monte Elmo, we saw a long, perfectly prepared slope that we just could not resist. Being also aware that said slope is part of Three Peaks Dolomites, UNESCO World Heritage, one can expect to be spoiled by impressive mountains of the Dolomites.

What we liked most was the fact that the ski slopes were not crowded. All are long but always perfectly prepared, even if they are a bit steep sometimes. During the winter, good snow conditions allow one to enjoy over 100 km of ski slopes that connect Monte Elmo, Orto del Toro, Croda Rossa, Baranci and the Comelico area. Ski pass also includes the lifts in Braies, in the Ski center Rienza Dobbiaco, in Waldheim, and on the Passo Monte Croce can also be used.


JOAS enjoys a perfect location. Our room boasted a direct view of the slope of Monte Elmo. The experience of this amazing view every morning was just breathtaking. The hotel really gives a perspective on the importance of the location. When going skiing, it is always about the location. It is so comfortable to just dress up in the hotel and put your skis on literally on the terrace of JOAS hotel. There is no need to drive towards ski slopes and lose time over searching for the parking spot. At JOAS, one is positioned on the slope (in case you wonder, they also have an in-house ski instructor). The owner and his brother were also both professional skiers.

LOBBY by night (9).JPG


One of the most beautiful and scenic alpine huts and restaurants is waiting for you on the slopes. Actually, one can make a hut tour around the 3 Peaks Dolomites Ski Resort. We loved the Helm Restaurant which is only a cable car ride away from the JOAS hotel in the valley. A good idea is also to just take the cable car and have lunch on the top of Monte Elmo, enjoying the wonderfully scenic view.

Another amazing thing is to end the day as the last one on the slope and ski directly to the hotel. Just a bit later you can already enjoy the warm spa on a sky terrace. Priceless.
