HOTEL & RESTAURANT

RIALE, formazza valley

On the border with Switzerland, nestled in the small village of Riale, our HOTEL & RESTAURANT AALTS DORF is the ideal facility to enjoy your holiday in one of the most suggestive valleys of Ossola’s area. Val Formazza will surprise you!

Our building recaptures old alpine style, remembering stories, traditions and Walser customs. At the same time, we don’t forget every comfort you need: 20 wooden rooms with independent bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, television, panoramic dehor, a large parking lot and a restaurant with special local dishes and a selected list of regional and local wines.

When I look at the mountains I have the feelings of the mountains inside me: I feel them, like Beethoven who heard the sounds in his head when he was deaf and composed the Ninth Symphony. The rocks, the walls and the climbs are a work of art.
Reinhold Messner
That those rocks rising in the form of admirable architecture, those icy gullies rising towards the sky, that sky now deep blue where the soul seems to dissolve and merge with infinity, now furrowed by stormy clouds that weigh on the spirit like a cloak of lead , always the same but mutually varied, arouse in us sensations that are never forgotten.
Walter Bonatti
The mountain is made for everyone, not just for mountaineers: for those who want to rest in peace as well as for those who seek an even stronger rest in the effort.
Guido Rey
