Perched on top of a glacier at 3,212m above sea level, the Glacier Hotel makes for an interesting stay.
Hotel guests will need to get to Maso Corto where they can board the Val Senales cable car.
Even before guests have checked into their rooms, they’ll be able to take in the “exhilarating views”of the mountain landscape.
Right outside the hotel lies the ski slope and high-alpine hiking trails for the hardiest of guests.
The hotel hosts the highest Finnish sauna in Europe with a steam bath and an infrared cabin.
There are several different room options available to book, including a panorama-view double room, a family suite and a triple room.
Each of the rooms has been furnished in an Alpine style with spruce wood.
There’s also an on-site restaurant serving Tyrolean specialties made from local ingredients.
The restaurant has enough space for 300 guests, with room for a further 60 on the sun terrace.
Other nearby attractions include the Iceman Ötzi Peak viewing platform on the Grawand summit and the art installation Our Glacial Perspectives on the Grawand ridge.

Another person added: “I was there during my holiday in this region. It was beautiful, with great landscapes, sunrises and sunsets.”
A third person wrote: “An exhilarating stay in the highest hotel in Europe.”
