It was love at first sight between the great-grandparents Wieser and this green basin right above the centre of San Cassiano. This is where the herd went to pasture, and where the Italian name of the location "Armentarola" comes from.

Paoli and Hilda were far-sighted and soon recognized that that place would be a strategic position where to realize a wonderful accomodation straucture. Situated in the hearth of Dolomites, at the crossroad between Alta Badia and Cortina, Armentarola has become an important starting point for hikings and excursions, and for all those who loves traditions and horse-carriages...maybe after an exciting day on the slopes.

Hotel Ciasa Salares is also a reference for gourmets and bonvivants.
