The picture at the top of this page does not do justice to the magnificent setting Haus Valentin enjoys, so at the bottom of the page we have included a winter picture of the chalet, which gives you more of an idea.
Just 6kms from Corvara along the River Gran Ega, the Val Badia widens dramatically at Pedraces to produce the most idyllic pastoral scenery of the valley. Perched above the village in a lightly wooded area of chalets and other alpine dwellings, Haus Valentin looks across the river and over this scenery to the vast walls of the Fanes Massif. It arguably has the best view of any of our properties and you can spend hours on the sun terrace just gazing across the valley. This is especially inspirational in the evening when the sunset turns the rock flame-red.
Over the years, we have had many a sociable and pleasant evening in Haus Valentin's hospitable bar. Many walks start from the doorstep and the chairlift is less than ten minutes away on foot. Office Hour is held each evening (except Wednesday) in the bar and here you can talk to our staff about walks, painting, Via Ferratas etc. whilst having a sociable pre-dinner drink.
We jointly host Haus Valentin with its owners, our great friends, the Saning family. Monica and Rainer make an excellent team in the kitchen and Cristina cleans the bedrooms. In the meantime, and without interfering, we will look after your well-being and ensure you get the best out of this magical area.
Walking from Pedraces
From Pedraces you can follow a delightful riverside trail for 5kms to Corvara. This picturesque village is unforgettable, such is the dramatic dominance of the Fanes Massif that flanks the eastern side of the Alta Badia, climaxing above Pedraces with its pinnacle, Santa Croce, towering so dramatically over the village that it has become its trademark.
At Pedraces the Alta Badia widens to produce truly enchanting pastoral landscapes, where the low or medium level walker will thrive. Yet, as with Corvara, access to high level areas is excellent and it is easy to venture into the labyrinth of high trails in both the Puez-Odle and Fanes National Parks, using waymarked tracks that start near Haus Valentin. Office Hour is based in Haus Valentin and allows you to plan your walks and days out if you want to join in with us or do your own thing, our staff are on hand to help out with anything you need.
