A fascinating combination between history
and legend is the distinctive feature of Hotel El Laresh, whose
name derives from the Ladin word for larch, the typical alpine conifer tree.
The names of the rooms are linked to the legends of the mountains and the flowers of the Dolomites of Val di Fassa and to the mythological characters of the Ladin tradition. The hotel is managed by the Franceschetti Family that boasts a long tradition in the hotel sector and descends from four generations of alpinists.... |

The grandfather "Gino", Luigi Pettena was
one of the pioneers in the hotel management sector of the Trentino region;
he worked for many years as hotel manager in some of the most prestigious
hotels of the Alps, in Switzerland, Piedmont and finally in his beloved
Trentino region, around the end of the 50’s. His daughter Carla,
at the beginning of the 80’s felt the calling of his father’s
passion and after having worked for twenty years as school teacher, she
decided together with his husband Cesare to realise a hotel to be managed
with her children, Riccardo and Maria Luisa. |

Cesare Franceschetti,
was one of the most important alpine guides of the Dolomites in the 60’s
and descends from two generations of great alpinists..... The first great alpinist of his family was Martino Bastanzini, Cesare’s grandfather, who was also the first alpine guide of the Adamello glacier starting from 1885, right at the beginning of the summer tourist development on the Alps and on the Dolomites. His steps were followed by Cesare who became skiing instructor in 1958 and alpine guide in 1959. He was military instructor in the Alpine troops first, and then for the alpine school of the Sate Police in Moena. In the 60’s his enterprises were known all over the world and together with his mates he actually invented a new way of climbing. Today you can see Cesare at the Hotel El Laresh, where he will tell you all about the history of that epical period of alpinism.... |
