In the heart of the beautiful Val Badia valley, surrounded by the impressive Dolomites, lies Chalet d’Ert, a very special retreat for families and balm for your nervous system from the very first minute.

The house, built from larch wood, was designed by the Ladin architect Karl Heinz Castlunger and uniquely combines traditional architecture with timeless elegance. The semi-circular architecture is reminiscent of the historical Ladin barns in the region. Bob Ross couldn't have painted it more beautifully!

At Chalet d’Ert, two separate, family-friendly apartments with their own entrances await you:

• the Master Flat for 6–7 people

• the Junior Flat for 2–4 people

As soon as you step inside, you can feel it: this house tells stories. Valuable Ladin antiques, folkloric craftsmanship, and modern elements have been thoughtfully combined by the owner Giulia. Every piece of furniture, every detail has been carefully selected and harmoniously fits into the overall picture. The result is a warm, natural, and above all, deeply relaxed atmosphere.

Originally conceived as a private residence, the Chalet opened its doors to guests in 2017. Since then, families from all over the world have come here, and many describe the feeling as arriving home.

The vision? To create a relaxed, comfortable stay as a family, characterized by hospitality and a love for the region, its people, and traditions.

Why is Chalet d’Ert so special for families?

The Chalet has its own unique energy, a tranquility that regulates the nervous system and immediately slows you down. Large windows and direct access to the garden bring nature into the house and create light-filled rooms.

The entire design is focused on naturalness. Wherever possible, synthetic materials have been avoided. Lots of wood, soft shapes, hardly any sharp edges, perfectly natural for even the youngest guests.

Throughout the house, you'll find lovingly selected, playful elements – because the hosts are convinced that we all need space for our inner child. Perfect for a vacation with kids and also for parents.

Dogs are also very welcome at Chalet d'Ert (for a fee).
