La proprietà — Alaska
The Hotel Alaska is a solid three-star near Belluno's train station, favoured by practical travellers who value clean rooms and reliable service over frills. The lobby is compact and functional, with a small bar and a helpful reception desk that can arrange ski storage or bike hire. It suits independent explorers who plan to be out all day — maybe hiking the Dolomites or visiting the Prosecco hills — and just need a comfortable base with free Wi-Fi and a basic breakfast. The vibe is honest, no-nonsense Alpine hospitality, not trendy or romantic.
Cronache di Belluno
Belluno was founded as a Roman settlement on a strategic bluff above the Piave River, later becoming a thriving medieval commune under Venetian rule from the 15th century. Its architecture mixes Venetian Gothic palazzi with robust local stone, seen in the Duomo and the 16th-century Palazzo dei Rettori. The city became part of Italy in 1866 and developed as a rail hub for Dolomite timber and later tourism. Today, it balances its role as administrative capital of the province with a quiet, cultured atmosphere — known for local gastronomy, craft beer and as a gateway to the Dolomites. The older streets retain a distinctly unhurried, provincial charm.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Belluno →I migliori mesi
June and September offer warm days, lower rainfall than July, and fewer hikers on trails like the Via degli Alpini or the nearby Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak due to school holidays and perfect conditions for high-altitude trekking. Hotel prices in Belluno rise 20–30% on average. The Palio di Belluno (historical parade and archery contest) on the first Sunday of July also draws crowds.
Stagione di spalla
May and October are ideal shoulder months: discounted rooms at Hotel Alaska, mild 10–18°C temperatures, empty lanes in the historic centre, and autumn foliage colouring the surrounding peaks.
Meteo e imballaggio
Belluno sits in a rain shadow but can still get sudden afternoon thunderstorms even in July. Pack a lightweight waterproof shell and layers; never rely on sun alone.
Briefing della città — Belluno
- The Belluno–Dolomiti bike track, along the former railway to Feltre, reopened after maintenance and is fully accessible for cyclists and walkers.
- A new craft brewery, Birrificio Bellunese, opened on Via Roma last month and offers daily tasting flights of lagers and IPAs.
- Construction on the main piazza (Piazza dei Martiri) finishes in June; the redesigned square now has wider pedestrian zones and a restored fountain.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Alaska, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the inner courtyard (away from the main road). These floors are above street-level bustle but still accessible by stairs if the lift is small, and the courtyard orientation cuts traffic noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor overlooking the street; Belluno's main road can carry early morning delivery trucks and late-night pedestrian chatter. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft—audible clanking on older lifts.
Best views
From street-facing rooms on upper floors you get views of Belluno's old town rooftops and the Dolomites in the distance—ask for a 'mountain view' if the front faces east. Courtyard rooms look onto private gardens or neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 2–4 are typically quietest, assuming standard 3-star construction with single-glazed windows facing the front. Upper floors (3–4) get less street rumble.
🔊 Noise notes
Belluno is a small city with occasional tourist coaches dropping off near the hotel. The main road can echo with scooters and vans from 7am. Late-night bar noise from the nearby Piazza dei Martiri may drift on weekends.
Insider tips
1. Park in the free public lot 100m away (Via dei Tempi) rather than paying hotel parking. 2. Check in early (before 3pm) to secure a courtyard room—request this at booking, as few rooms face it.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
