A tavern that tells the story of Valmorel
The Locanda 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 Francesca Covre, a girl who decided to take the plunge also thanks to the support of her family.
The idea of reopening this venue was promoted by the Elserino Piol Foundation, with the desire to make it the vibrant heart of the village: a place where locals can gather and where warmth and conviviality can always be found.
The Locanda blends rustic atmosphere with modern comfort: on the ground floor, there are the bar and the restaurant, while on the first floor, there are 5 rooms with exclusive sauna access. 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 rooted in mountain gastronomic culture, reinterpreted with today's techniques. From grilled cheese to mountain specialties... All classic dishes that evoke family Sundays and remain in your memory because they are truly delicious!
The bar offers a selection of local products: wines, coffee, soft drinks, and various snacks.
A refined offer with essential flavors, suitable for all occasions... Especially for those who work and need a break, or for travelers coming and going.
The establishment is equipped with free Wi-Fi, biomass heating, photovoltaic panels, and a thermal recovery system, in line with a sustainable and environmentally friendly philosophy.
The activity greatly values this ethical aspect, which 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 Malga Van salami to local eggs. 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 tableware made from palm leaves, 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 human and thoughtful gesture.
The Locanda of Valmorel encompasses all this... it is the stones that tell the old story of the inn, it is the green vision that uses technologies capable of considering sustainability and the future, and it is the people who live and animate it.
And speaking of people... Francesca has decided to be accompanied in this adventure by a strong team of professionals – most of whom are young chefs!
In short… whether in the dining room or in the kitchen, you will be in the hands of competent and attentive figures, capable of advising you and allowing you to experience the culinary journey that best suits you with enthusiasm.
It is a venue that puts hospitality at its center... with the discretion and grace typical of mountain hosts, who do not renounce modern services nor the attention to the territory.
