The outdoor infinity pool points straight at the Sciliar massif, and at 32°C it is the warmest open-air water in the valley: steam rises off the surface all winter while the edge seems to drop into the meadows below. It stays open every day of the year, snowfall included.
Around it, the terrace holds heated stone benches and a small poolside bar that does a serious job with hot drinks. Families get their own separate indoor kids' pool with a shallow end, which keeps the infinity level quiet: most afternoons it is adults reading, not children splashing.
A larger resort above Castelrotto with direct shuttle access to the Alpe di Siusi cable car, ten minutes away. The scale works in its favour: two restaurants, a proper kids' club, and enough spa space that even at full house it rarely feels crowded.
Rooms range from compact doubles to family suites with valley-facing balconies; the west-facing ones catch the last sun on the Sciliar. Here's the thing: this is not a boutique hideaway, and the buffet dinners are good rather than remarkable: what you are booking is that pool, the view, and the machinery of a resort that runs smoothly with children in it.
Yes: it is heated to 32°C and open every day of the year, including in snowfall.
One heated infinity pool, eight rooms, and the Geisler peaks doing the rest: the pool hangs over the Funes valley on the farm's lowest terrace, kept at 29°C year-round, and on a clear winter morning you will have it entirely to yourself with snow on the railings.
The 25-metre indoor pool sits behind floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Odle peaks, kept at 30°C from the first snow to the last. Underwater loungers run along the north wall, and morning lap lanes stay roped off until 10am, so early swimmers get clear water.
