Where to stay in Bellamonte.
How to choose, in practice.
Bellamonte is a hamlet of Predazzo at 1,373 metres, on the SS50 main road climbing towards Paneveggio and Rolle Pass. Those coming for Alpe Lusia choose on the basis of three things: the distance from the Castelir gondola, parking and space for equipment. Here are the figures to help you decide.

01 · THE LOCATION
Closer to the lifts or closer to the woods?
The Bellamonte 3.0 gondola leaves from Castelir and takes you up to Alpe Lusia; the rest of the village is spread along the main road and the surrounding meadows. Those who want to walk to the lifts look for something near Castelir; those arriving by car look mainly at parking, because at Castelir parking is free for anyone heading to the slopes.
- Castelir, gondola base station: 1,553 m; the gondola goes up to Le Fassane (1,793 m) and La Morea (1,967 m)
- Ski area car parks: P1 and the new P2 with over 200 spaces, escalator and lift up to the lift square
- From Residenza Larici: about 3 km by road to Castelir, 5 minutes' walk from the centre of Bellamonte
02 · APARTMENT OR HOTEL
Your own kitchen or hotel services.
A hotel gives you a restaurant and services; an apartment gives you space, your own timetable and more predictable costs for groups and families. For a week's skiing as a four, what makes the difference is separate bedrooms, bathrooms and somewhere to leave skis and boots.
- In an apartment: a full kitchen for breakfasts and dinners, separate bedrooms, often private parking
- Worth checking: how many bathrooms for how many people, ski storage, check-in times, minimum stay
- Booking directly on the property's own website means no booking-portal commission
