Hotel Orso Grigio

We just left after a week long ski trip with a big group. This hotel was very nice. The rooms were small but comfortable. Only 1 pillow was provided per person. The staff was so accommodating to everyone in our large group and the breakfast and dinner service was very nice. Water was not included with our meals which I found odd. The hotel provided our group with an outside apres ski party one night too! So fun! The Pinzolo ski gondola was only a 5 minute drive and if you get there by 9-915 parking is very easy and close to the gondola. The ski rental is right at this location as well. Comodosci.it. Ponzolo location. Some locals were walking there in ski boots - probably a 20 minute walk. They have a large ski bus but it is 1 pick up at 9 and drop off per day. They have a ski locker downstairs with boot warmers, however, our boots were not warm in the morning so I would inquire about that. There is only 1 multi use shower gel in the small shower so I recommend bringing your own toiletries. The spa is open only from 5-7pm and has a couple of dry saunas, 1 steam sauna, a salt room and hot tub. The hot tub was never very hot. Only a small towel from your room was provided unless you wanted to use your bath towel. You can rent a robe for 10 euros for the week. They provided housekeeping daily. A small grocery store was within close walking distance for anything you forgot and to buy chocolates and sweets to bring home. The town of Pinzolo was nearby and soooo cute! We took a side trip to the Nardis waterfall 3 miles away. Overall, I feel it was a great deal for the money, close location to the gondola, food included, and very accommodating service.
