Coffee and cappuccino by "Giamaica Caffè", local bread, selected fine cheeses and cured cold cuts, wild salmon and “bubbles”, homemade jams as well as sweets and pastries, freshly squeezed juices and smoothies, and eggs just as you like them.
All products are “healthy”. Team also wanted to create a corner for Bio food products (low calorie, low fat, yeast-free, gluten-free, etc.).
They now offer not pasteurised mountain honey, nectar made of flowers and plants that live in healthy surroundings.
At Ciasa Salares, a member of ‘cheese team’ with a mean cheese knife and a wealth of cheese knowledge is always on hand to take you into the cheese room and show you what hotel has on offer.
Cheese gives the opportunity to be creative. Matching different colours, forms and flavours, combine different textures and taste, in accordance or in contradiction.

Matteo Metullio was born in Trieste on March 3rd, 1989. At the age of only 12 he already knew what his way would be and he signed in the Hospitality Training School in Falcade -BL.
During the school years, in the summer time, he made his first experiences in various hotels and restaurants in Italy.
When he finished his studies he made his decisive work experience at the restaurant “Alle Codole” in Canale d’Agordo; here he met Oscar Tibolla, a man of great personality as well as a great Chef.
“He taught me the respect for raw materials, never giving up if I really believe in my aim”.
Hereafter he received the unexpected call from Chef Norbert Niederkofler. In summer he started at the St. Hubertus, Hotel Rosa Alpina, owned by Pizzinini Family.
He worked here for four years, apart from a small six-month experience in the Sirmione restaurant “La Speranzina”.
In the winter season 2012/13 he started as Sous Chef at the restaurant La Siriola (1 Michelin star), Hotel Ciasa Salares, owned by Wieser family.
In spring 2013 he was offered to guide the Michelin starred kitchen.
Mrs. Wilma Wieser and her husband Stefan put great trust in this big guy.
Matteo accepted with great honor this challenge, supported by his family and his girlfriend.
Nicola Zanetti was born in Treviso on 4 May 1972. “Since I was a little boy I used to spend my afternoons in the kitchen with my mum. I was up to my elbows making pasta – tells Nicola – and mamma kindled my passion for cooking and good food”.
At the age of 13 he decides to become a chef and enrolls at the Professional Hotel & Catering Institute at Castelfranco Veneto in the province of Treviso.
Soon after graduating in 1989 he starts working at the “Relais El Toulá” restaurant in Ponzano Veneto, where he stays for over ten years, honing his skills and developing professionally.
This episode is interrupted on just a few occasions while he expresses his creativity as a private chef for various families of note.
In 2011 comes his big breakthrough, when his enthusiasm for the mountains leads him to Val Badia and a decisive meeting with the Wieser family.
With both sides sharing the same philosophy, based on the use of top-quality basic ingredients to create great dishes with no unnecessary manipulation, there begins a culinary adventure that continues to this day.

The cellar has recently undergone refurbishment, allowing guests to visit and enjoy the comfortable ambience.
Time no longer exists down here: a spell is cast over visitors who spontaneously embark on a trip back in time to the year marked on the bottle, perhaps losing themselves forever in a 1928 Recioto by Bertani.
The larch panelling at the entrance leads eyes through three rooms whose walls are lined by 16,000 bottles, representing 1,600 different wines.
On tables of local wood, cut according to phases of the moon in harmony with the biodynamic philosophy that underlies the majority of the products down.
Beauty Spa Vives: a place where to rediscover yourself, where to listen your body, where to regenerate energies through special paths and relaxing treatments.
The chromo-path that leads to the Beauty Spa Vives - red imperial cimbro, green bluish Etruria, yellow chrome and yellow of Naples – will prepare you for.
The design has been conceived by Wilma Wieser, the architect Francesca Arra and Helmut Pizzinini, who also realized the paintings.
Beauty Spa Vives is fully furnished with multifunction cabins for high performance beauty treatments and massages.
Finnish Sauna: it is simply a hot and dry air bath in a close environment.
The infrared cabin allows for a better relax as the lower temperature permits to remain inside up to 45 minutes.
Solarium provides a regular, measured and measurable UV irradiation that substitutes sun.
The turkish bath is a steam bath that belongs to the same ancient tradition of purifying baths where the sauna comes from.
Whirlpool bath or hydro-massage, has positive benefits not only on the body, that will result more relaxed and rested, but mainly on the psychosphere.
Summer in Alta Badia means both colours and scents. The meadows are covered with colourful flowers which make them look like Impressionist pictures. Scents of such plants as nigritella or arnica, medical herbs or Swiss mountain pine convey a sense of well-being.
Wordly wisdom sounds like the Bible here. After scything jobs down the valley, farmers used to go to mountain heights to scythe hay as well.
You can go to Piz Sorega to scythe hay no longer, instead to join the weekly picnic in hut with local specialties and barbecue.
Alta Badia is among the best ski areas in the world. With its 450 km slopes, always covered with snow, lifts and ski schools with updated teaching programs, snowpark for freestylers, you will find your way to enjoy your time here.
Anyway, there is another side of these mountains to be enjoyed, that is unpolluted nature for hikers or bikers catching fawns while resting on the grass.
You can reach mountain peaks, by mountain bike.
Nothing beats a plate of cheese and bread paired with a glass of wine.
In Val Badia chests were made and alongside that artistic weaving blossomed. Even nowadays craftsmanship is essential to Ladin economics.
The most representative Viles are in Longiarü valley. Traditions and uses are handed down through generations.
The cuisine of Ladin valleys refers to the Tyrolean tradition, for instance speck “canederli”, bread dumplings with local smoked ham, or “strudel”.
The use of helicopters in the Dolomites is authorised only in a few limited and well delineated areas.
The best way to conquer peaks is hiking though.
Ice skating and curling on natural lakes, rushing down on sleighs, or snow ball fights allow for slow amusement.
Each of the peoples subjugated by the Romans developed the language of Rome to various degrees depending on the local idiom.
The landscape in Alta Badia is majestically various as regards plants and colours.
Emotions, sensations and quiet as well as direct contact with materials and scents will add up to your exclusive holidays at Ciasa Salares.
You go to Piz Sorega to scythe hay no longer, instead to join the weekly picnic in hut with local specialties and barbecue.
