Your ECO B&B in San Vigilio di Marebbe – South Tyrol
A different way to welcome. A more conscious way to travel.
Les Gomines is a small, family-run B&B with five rooms in San Vigilio di Marebbe, South Tyrol, at the gateway to the Ladin Dolomites – ideal for those seeking peace, nature, and a sustainable stay in the Dolomites.
A place where quietness can truly be felt and nature is not staged, but simply exists. Our bed & breakfast in the Dolomites is intentionally small, creating a calm and intimate atmosphere where guests can relax and feel at ease.
We believe that today it is essential to take responsibility for our actions and daily decisions in running a hospitality business. For us, hospitality also means respect: for the alpine landscape of South Tyrol, for natural resources, and for the people who choose to stay with us.
For this reason, at Les Gomines we integrate ecological principles into construction, daily operations, and management. If you are looking for a sustainable B&B in South Tyrol that combines environmental awareness with quality, you are in the right place. Sustainability for us is an ongoing process, not a finished state.
Sustainability is not a statement, but a continuous commitment we work on every day.
Nice to meet you
I’m Barbara, your host
Les Gomines was not born from an idea, but from a feeling of how I want to live and work.
I come from a family that has welcomed people in the Gadertal for generations. Hospitality has always been part of our everyday life – what it means today for me, however, I have consciously redefined.
I wanted to create a place that is quiet, clear, and personally managed.
Nature, Ladin culture, and life here have always shaped me. Questions about resources and the way we relate to our surroundings were never abstract—they have always been part of daily life.
Today, I make many decisions more consciously. Not perfect, but understandable and consistent. I value simple things that are carefully thought out and well executed.
Les Gomines is a small house. That’s exactly what matters to me: it leaves space for encounters—when they happen—and for retreat, when you seek it.
I live here with my two children, Giovanni and Alma. They bring everyday life, movement, and energy to this place.
Perhaps the most important thing is this: nothing here is staged; everything is simply lived.
Hospitality, in my opinion, the most beautiful job in the world!
There is something unique about that moment of authentic connection, it is as if a kind of magic is created...

Sleep deeply. Wake up alive.
Our cozy rooms:
Five rooms. Reduced, calm and clearly designed. Plenty of light, simple forms and natural materials shape the spaces. Wood brings warmth, and large windows open up views of the landscape. The design does not follow a staged concept, but a desire for clarity and calm.
At a later stage, we also explored principles of Vastu – a traditional Indian system concerned with spatial arrangement. Vastu looks at the relationship between space, light, orientation and energy, with the aim of creating environments that support balance, calm and well-being. These considerations have been gently integrated – for our own well-being and that of our guests.
Here, it’s about the essentials: calm, good sleep and a place to retreat.
The rooms are intentionally simple. Nothing superfluous – but everything needed to feel at ease: high-quality materials, good mattresses and the quiet of the house.
In our daily operations, we take a mindful approach to resources. For this reason, room cleaning during your stay is provided on request. If you would like a cleaning, just let us know – it is always possible.
Each room has its own colour. Not as a concept, but as a subtle character: blue, green, red, orange or yellow. Each colour brings its own mood – sometimes calm, sometimes warm, sometimes a little more vibrant.
Simply choose what feels right for you.

Breakfast, savored slowly and consciously
Good morning, wonderful world!
The day starts calmly – without hurry and without a fixed schedule.
At breakfast, there is time to arrive and savor.
We carefully select our products, paying attention to local origin: milk and yogurt from South Tyrolean dairies, bread from the village bakery, cereals and flour from the mill in San Lorenzo di Sebato, eggs from farmers in the valley, and cold cuts from our butcher. We also offer jams and cakes prepared according to traditional recipes.
The selection is deliberately simple – not overloaded, but focused on what is essential for a good start to the day.
This creates a breakfast that invites calm and provides energy for the day ahead.
Quality, origin, and a clear selection are at the heart of our approach.
Conscious hospitality, traveling with focus on the essentials
from the heart of the Dolomites to international recognition
Welcome to Les Gomines – a place thoughtfully managed, where guests can experience nature and everyday life consciously.
For us, sustainability is part of our daily operations. It is not about isolated actions, but about decisions we continuously make and develop over time.
Les Gomines is certified according to the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC, certificate number: HAVR210106, conducted by Vireo, independent certifier). Additionally, we hold the South Tyrol Sustainability Label at one of the higher levels.
These certifications are based on verifiable criteria in various areas, including:
– construction according to Klimahaus standards
– use of renewable energy
– selection of locally sourced products whenever possible
– adherence to social and operational standards.
The implementation of these measures is regularly reviewed and further developed.

Bëgnodüs!
A little history – Journeys into Ladin culture
My roots lie in the Ladin tradition – and you are invited to discover this unique culture in South Tyrol.
South Tyrol is a special region, where three language groups live side by side: German, Italian and Ladin – a historical minority with deep cultural roots.
In Val Badia, in the heart of the Dolomites, Ladin culture is still very much alive today. The Ladin language dates back to Roman times and developed from the interaction between Rhaeto-Romance and Vulgar Latin. Today, it is spoken by around 30,000 people and is one of the officially recognized languages of South Tyrol.
This cultural richness is reflected in everyday life: in trilingual schools, local media and the life of the ladinDolomite valleys. During a holiday here with us, you can experience this unique identity firsthand. You will also sense it during your stay at Les Gomines – subtle, yet present.
Here, culture is not staged, but encountered in everyday life – authentic and genuine, as part of a true cultural stay in the Dolomites.
Strongly anchored roots
Childhood memories Family roots, breathtaking views
Many of my childhood memories are connected to the Lavarella Hut, located in the heart of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park.
The first small hut was built in 1912 by my ancestors. For many years, my parents – my mother, a passionate cook, and my father, the undisputed head of the family – ran the hut with dedication, shaping and transforming it into what it is today.
Today, the hut is in the hands of my sister Anna and her husband Gábor, who continue to run it with the same passion.
This popular stop has been known for over a hundred years for its hospitality and cuisine. The Lavarella Hut can be reached in about two and a half hours of hiking from the Pederü Mountain Inn, both in summer and winter.
We are three sisters – each with her own heartfelt project and special passion for our homeland:
- Anna, passionate about gastronomy, runs the Lavarella Hut – a refuge for hikers, food lovers, and everyone who appreciates genuine hospitality.
- Maria, the youngest, is a seamstress through and through. Her love for delicate lace, drapery, and thoughtful details is reflected in the Ciasa Lavarella apartments in the center of San Vigilio di Marebbe.
- And I, Barbara, welcome you to Les Gomines, my heartfelt project, where nature, calm, and well-being await you.
Experience nature in the Dolomites
Outdoor activities in Val Badia – all year round
Whether summer, autumn, winter, or spring, the Dolomites, UNESCO World Natural Heritage, the Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park, and Val Badia offer year-round opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Hiking on mountain trails, biking through quiet forests, climbing with breathtaking views, skiing at Kronplatz or in Alta Badia / Sellaronda, cross-country skiing right at your doorstep – at Les Gomines, you start each day immersed in nature.
Here, you are close to the mountains, breathing fresh air, listening to the silence of the valleys, and deciding how to spend your day.
Summer
Cycling through the peaks
Road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes, which do you prefer? The Dolomites around San Vigilio di Marebbe are a genuine paradise for cyclists. Take a leisurely ride on the road over passes or through the woods, or venture out on the mountain trails. The cable car will take you up to the freeride trail on Plan de Corones and you can hire a bike and then store it safely in our garage, which even has a charging station.
Hiking and climbing: guaranteed fun for everyone
An easy walk to an Alpine hut for the whole family, a challenging hike towards the summit, a spectacular climb on a wall of rock: around Les Gomines any mountain-lover will find the perfect place to explore the Dolomites of Val Badia, steeped in myths and legends. Once you’ve reached your destination, find nourishment in the delicious traditional dishes served in the mountain huts. And who knows, you might even come face to face with a marmot!
Fill your soul with peace, experience the Dolomites
Watch the sun cast a palette of delicate pinks and luminous reds onto the pale Dolomites: even we are captivated by the alpenglow every day, as if we were seeing it for the first time. Admire the flowers in myriad shapes and hues that fill these meadows or the eagle soaring free over the mountaintops. Let yourself go in nature, let it fill you with all its silence. Relax and recharge. For once, let your thoughts wander. Explore this Dolomite mountain paradise alone or on a guided nature tour organised by the tourism association.
Yoga in the Yurt
Your ecological yoga studio in the Dolomites.
The Yurt with its round design conveys calm and security and the closeness to nature as well as a certain degree of freedom invites minimalism.
Our Yurt should remind you of the essentials through its natural construction, combined with the practice of yoga and meditation, and offer us the opportunity to rediscover ourselves in an unusual but comfortable ambience.
Open from May to October.
Winter
Boundless skiing in the Dolomites
Plan de Corones – with its 120 km of slopes, cutting-edge lifts and stunning, 360° view of the surrounding peaks – delivers an unforgettable skiing experience. The reliable skibus stops in front of Les Gomines and carries avid skiers directly to the slopes. Famous World Cup slopes, snowparks for children and Cianross night skiing: your ski holiday in the Dolomites will certainly be special! And if that is not enough… Plan de Corones is linked to other ski resorts, including Sellaronda in Alta Badia. Dolomiti Superski will not let you down!
Winter adventures beyond the slopes
Would you prefer cross country skiing in an enchanting winter wonderland? A 24-km cross country skiing trail starts just a few steps away from Les Gomines and meanders through the snowy woods and meadows around San Vigilio. Or you can explore the winter landscape on snow shoes with a guide. Unless you’d rather travel back in time for the thrill of an old-fashioned sleigh ride.
The thrill of ski mountaineering in a pristine winter landscape
Climb the solitary, snow-clad mountain face, step by step. Reach the summit and feel the freedom of standing at the top. Let the stunning panorama enchant you. Take the skins off your skis, then race down the unspoiled snow, leaving your mark. Val Badia offers many ski mountaineering tours far and wide, high and low, all around the awe-inspiring winter landscape and its fantastic peaks. There’s something for everyone, from easy trails to more challenging routes, with expert guides available upon request.
Experience the magical winter silence
The gleam of snow crystals sparkling in the sun. A luminous mantle of snow delicately covers the quiet rock below, like a winter cloak. Breathe in the silence and energy radiating from this magnificent white. The winter sun warms your face and restores you. Let your thoughts run free as you recharge. Enjoy the full magic of winter alone or on a guided hike or snowshoeing tour organised by the tourism association.
This place is for you if:
If you are looking for peace and want to unwind consciously, wish to experience nature without distractions, value clarity, quality, and sustainability, and appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of a small, personal house, I warmly welcome you.
