Hotel De La Posta

Hotel De La Posta in Cortina is a welcoming, centrally located alpine hotel that puts you right in the heart of town, just a short walk from Corso Italia and only about 500 metres from the start and finish area of the La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB.

You’ll love the convenience of being so close to the race action while still enjoying the charm of a historic alpine setting, with cafés, shops, and Cortina’s mountain scenery all on your doorstep.

From the outside, Hotel De La Posta has that classic Dolomites look – a traditional building with alpine details that feels part of the landscape. Inside, the reception and lounge areas have a cosy, rustic style with wood-panelled walls and warm tones, offering a relaxed space to unwind with a coffee or chat with fellow runners before the big day.

You’ll be staying on a bed and breakfast basis, so your mornings are easy and hassle-free. The hotel serves a generous breakfast spread with fresh bread, pastries, cereals, fruit, and hot dishes to give you plenty of options for fuelling early runs or your race start. When it’s time for lunch or dinner, you’ll have a great choice of restaurants and trattorias nearby in the centre of Cortina.

For recovery, there’s a wellness area with a sauna and hot tub, which is just what you need for easing tired muscles after long days on the trails or post-race. While there’s no indoor pool or full gym, the wellness facilities are perfect for relaxing and recharging before heading back out into the mountains.

The hotel’s outdoor terrace is a pleasant spot for stretching, having a quiet moment in the fresh alpine air, or simply enjoying the views of the Dolomites.

Rooms at Hotel De La Posta are comfortable and practical, with everything you need for a good night’s sleep. Expect cosy mountain décor, comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Many rooms also feature balconies where you can enjoy the mountain air and soak in the views – a great way to start or end the day during race week.
