Run in the heart of the Dolomites
Experience the magic of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while trail running through some of the most spectacular landscapes of this region, such as the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park and the Puez-Odle Nature Park.
Every outing is a way to truly experience the mountains: scenic trails, silence, alpine meadows, and small encounters along the way. A marmot crossing your path, cows grazing in the fields, a break in a mountain hut – these are the moments that make every run special.
A perfect location
Our hotel is the ideal starting point for trail running in the Dolomites: step outside and you are immediately on the trails, with no need for a car. You can set off directly into forests, alpine meadows, and breathtaking mountain views.
With the Guest Pass, you can also use public transport free of charge to reach nearby villages and discover new routes every day.
Local advice and GPS tracks
Our staff knows the trails and will help you choose the most suitable route based on your level and the day’s conditions, providing local tips and ready-to-follow GPS tracks.
Services designed for your trail experience
The day begins with a rich and balanced breakfast designed to give you energy before your run. After returning, you can enjoy a light lunch at the hotel on the terrace or in the lounge bar, while in the evening a carefully prepared light dinner awaits you for optimal recovery.
After the trail, you can relax in comfortable rooms, enjoy the view from the terrace, or regenerate in the wellness area with saunas and relaxation spaces. On request, a sports massage is also available to support muscle recovery.
The experience is completed with dedicated services for runners: laundry for technical sportswear, recovery drinks at the bar, and energy bars available at the reception to take with you on your runs.
When running becomes a way to experience the mountains.
Salté – Trail running experience
4 nights in the Dolomites
Some experiences begin even before setting foot on the trail. Salté is born this way: with arrival at the hotel and an initial evening dedicated to meeting and sharing, getting to know the group and immediately creating a simple, authentic atmosphere among people who share the same passion for mountains and running. In the following days, each run becomes a different way to tune into the rhythm of the Dolomites.
The people you'll share Salté with
Leni & Steff
We're Leni and Steff, and for us trail running is simply part of everyday life. A few years ago we moved to Garmisch Partenkirchen to be closer to the mountains, and ever since, the trails have become our favourite place to spend time together.
For us, every run is a chance to discover something new, enjoy the mountains and share the experience with other people. Those are the moments that stay with us long after we're back home, and the ones we're looking forward to sharing with you.
Throughout the Salté experience, we'll be by your side every step of the way. We'll run together, join the yoga sessions, share meals and enjoy the quieter moments after each day on the trails. We hope you'll leave not only with unforgettable memories of the Dolomites, but also with new friendships and plenty of stories to take home.
I was born and raised in Alta Badia, and these mountains have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Running these trails has taken me to races like Lavaredo Ultra Trail, Transvulcania and Dalmacija Ultra Trail, but there's nowhere I'd rather run than here at home.
Sharing these mountains with others is one of the things I enjoy most. I'll take you along some of the trails that mean the most to me, sharing local stories, hidden corners and the little details that make running in the Dolomites such a special experience.
I'm Daisy, a yoga teacher based in Munich with English and Italian roots. I've been practising yoga for more than ten years, and I love helping people move, recover and reconnect through a combination of dynamic yoga, mobility, stretching and Yin Yoga.
After each day on the trails, we'll slow things down together. My sessions are a chance to release tired muscles, breathe deeply and simply enjoy the feeling of being here in the mountains, ready for whatever the next day brings.
