Hotel Engel - Gourmet & SPA

Hotel Engel is an elegant 4-star family hotel in Nova Levante, in the heart of the Dolomites and about 600 m from the Carezza Ski area. It's a place for families who want to combine a comfortable ski holiday with excellent food, an extensive wellness area and thoughtful childcare. The hotel meets family needs well: comfortable rooms and suites, the hotel HappyClub, pools, saunas, an activity programme and a shuttle to the Nova Levante/Carezza lift. After skiing, adults can catch a moment for themselves while children have their own space and plenty to do on site.

Meals

In our offer the stay includes half board (HB) - breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a rich buffet with bread, regional products, savoury dishes, homemade bakes and healthier options. In the evening guests enjoy a dinner with a choice of menu, including Italian cuisine, regional meats, fish, and vegetarian and vegan options. Children using the hotel HappyClub can have lunch in the kids' club. The hotel is also home to Johannesstube, a restaurant with 1 Michelin star - an option for guests who would like to plan a special dinner during their stay. Dinner at Johannesstube is not part of the HB package and requires a separate booking.

HappyClub and Polish QC activities

One of the hotel's biggest assets is the HappyClub - about 200 m² of space for children from age 3. It's the hotel's kids' club with daily care and an activity programme. The HappyClub runs 6 days a week, 9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. Care is provided by the hotel team in Italian, German and English. The programme includes games, play, creative activities, indoor sessions and lunch for the children. On top of that, as part of the QC Travel programme, we run a daily block of Polish activities for children at 5:00–6:00 p.m. For parents it's a good moment to use the wellness area and saunas, or simply rest before dinner.

Activities organised by the hotel

Beyond skiing, the hotel offers its own activity programme for adults and families. In winter, guests can use the hotel shuttle to the Nova Levante/Carezza lift, a ski bus connection to the Obereggen area, guided ski trips in the Dolomites, winter walks, snowshoe hikes and the Fit & Active programme, including yoga, aqua gym, workouts and relaxation sessions.

Pools, saunas and wellness

After skiing you can enjoy several pools and relaxation areas, including a year-round heated outdoor infinity pool with a view of the Dolomites, an outdoor whirlpool, a panoramic indoor pool and a children's pool. The sauna area includes the Panorama Event Sauna, a gentler bio sauna, an aromatic steam bath and an infrared sauna. Guests can also use the Kneipp path, a water-mist corridor, an ice fountain and a relaxation space with fresh mountain air. Important for families is the Family Sauna - a textile sauna available on selected days: Thursdays and Sundays, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Once a week the hotel also holds a Candle Light Sauna with extended hours.

Region - Dolomites - South Tyrol

Carezza - Italian for “caress” - captures the feel of this place: a sunny, family-friendly and very scenic area at the foot of the Rosengarten and Latemar massifs. Day to day we ski right here, with easy logistics by the hotel; the nearest starting point is the 401 Nova Levante – Laurin I gondola. The base Val di Fassa / Carezza ski pass gives access not only to Carezza itself but also to the main Val di Fassa areas - including Ciampac, Belvedere, Col Rodella, Buffaure and Catinaccio. The area has about 110 km of runs and 54 lifts (1,182–2,485 m a.s.l.), with the longest descent around 7 km - the pistes are well groomed and getting from the hotel to the slopes is quick and easy, which makes it a great choice for a family trip. For those who want more intensive skiing, the extended Dolomiti Superski pass is available - one of the largest ski systems in the world (12 regions, around 450 lifts, over 1,200 km of runs) - with day trips to, among others, Obereggen/Latemar (about 20 min by car), Alpe di Siusi or the Sellaronda via Val di Fassa (about 35–50 min).

Programme for adults

This trip isn't only logistics around the kids - adults also get space for their own skiing, relaxation and time for themselves. While the children are in lessons or activities, you can: • ski on your own in Carezza, • take private or group lessons (paid extra), • head over to Val di Fassa, • unwind in the hotel wellness area, pools and saunas, • join hotel activities - yoga, aqua gym, winter walks or snowshoe trips. Once a week we also plan an organised guided ski trip with the hotel guide (e.g. the Sellaronda), if enough people are interested.
