Hotel Jan Maria

Wake up at Hotel Jan Maria, step out into crisp mountain air and know the Dolomiti Superski is just up the road – long reds, dramatic Dolomite views and that holiday-high feeling all week.

Hotel Jan Maria is a welcoming 3-star superior in a quiet, sunny corner of Canazei, run by the Fosco family and known for its warm, personal service. It feels more like a mountain home than a large resort hotel, with lots of wood, soft colours and a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. Rooms are comfortable and well kept, many with balconies looking towards the Dolomites, so you can start and end each day with those big mountain views.

Food and relaxation are a big part of the experience here. Mornings begin with a generous buffet breakfast, and in the evening you can look forward to tasty, well-prepared local and Italian dishes, with the kitchen praised for accommodating special requests. After a day on the mountain, the small wellness centre is a real bonus, with Finnish sauna, Turkish bath and a Jacuzzi to ease tired legs, plus a cosy lounge and bar area where you can sit with a drink and plan the next day’s skiing.

Hotel Jan Maria is set in a peaceful spot about 500 metres from the centre of Canazei and around 800 metres from the Belvedere cable car, which takes you straight onto the Sellaronda circuit and into the wider Dolomiti Superski area. From here you can be on long, well-groomed runs within minutes, with routes to suit steady intermediates and more confident skiers alike. When you come back down, it is an easy stroll through Canazei for a bit of après-ski or a browse in the shops, before returning to the calm, comfortable surroundings of the hotel.
