Chocaholics will be delighted to discover that there are health benefits from cocoa when they sign up for the Rosa Alpina Hotel’s new chocolate – inspired spa and gourmet cookery break in the Dolomites this winter.
Originally consumed by the Mayans, the rare Criollo cacao used in chocolate cookery classes and treatments is rich in antioxidants, with mood enhancing properties and high levels of muscle-relaxing magnesium.

Exclusive wellness treatments include a sugar-cocoa and orange peel scrub and a chocolate massage.

It includes the chocolate and wine tasting, spa treatment and cookery clss as well as a 5-course tasting menu dinner for two at 2 Michelin star St. Hubertus restaurant, including an aperitif in the chef’s kitchen.
