A tavern that tells Valmorel
The Locanda di Valmorel is a special place: where tradition is rediscovered and tells the territory in a new way.
Located in the historic building of the former village inn, the Locanda opened its doors in February 2025, under the guidance of the new management of Francesca Covre and her family. The idea of reopening this establishment was promoted by the Elserino Piol Foundation, with the desire to make it the living heart of the village: a place where locals can gather and where one can always find warmth and conviviality.
The Locanda manages to blend rustic atmosphere and modern comfort: on the ground floor are the bar and the restaurant, while on the first floor there are 5 rooms with sauna and private balconies for exclusive use. A place suitable for everyone, allowing guests to feel pampered and to rejuvenate body and soul.
A few more details that make a difference
The Locanda is designed to be the first meeting point between tourists and the Valmorel community. An idea enhanced by the stone walls, larch beams, and custom furnishings designed by the Belluno architect Manlio Olivotto.
The kitchen offers simple and tasty foods that have roots in mountain culinary culture, reinvented with today's techniques. From cheese on the grill to mountain specialties... All classic dishes that remember family Sundays and that will stick in your mind because they are truly delicious!
The bar offers a selection of local products: wines, coffee, non-alcoholic drinks, and various snacks. An refined offering with essential flavors, suitable for all occasions... Especially for those who work and need a break, or for travelers arriving and departing.
The structure is equipped with free Wi-Fi, biomass heating, photovoltaic panels, and a thermal recovery system, following a sustainable philosophy that respects the environment. The establishment places great importance on this ethical aspect, and it can be seen everywhere and continuously… In the choice of products aimed at enhancing the entire area: from Valmorel cheeses to those from Valbelluna, from the cold cuts of Malga Van to the eggs from the Valmorel agricultural farms. In short… only local products and 100% quality!
Francesca is also very committed to daily sustainability, in fact, she refuses to use any type of non-recyclable material. An example is the BIO Chic plates made from palm leaves, which are totally biodegradable… —So much so that they can be burned like wood in the larin. Perfect, right!? Not to mention the circular economy project behind it, a thoughtful and humane gesture.
The Locanda di Valmorel is all this... It is the stones that tell the old story of the inn, it is the green vision that uses technologies capable of looking towards sustainability and the future, and it is the people who live and animate it.
Speaking of people… Francesca has decided to be accompanied in this adventure by a team of only young people. Both in the dining area and in the kitchen, you will be in the hands of competent and professional young people, capable of advising you and making you enthusiastically experience the culinary experience that suits you best.
It is a place that puts hospitality at the center... With the discretion and grace typical of mountain hosts, who do not give up modern services nor attention to the territory.
