Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Residence Ronchi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd floor and above) for a quieter stay. This is because the residence is located on a main road, Via Dolomiti, which can be noisy, especially during peak tourist season. Higher floors will provide some insulation from the road noise. Additionally, being on the 3rd floor or above will also put you closer to the lift, making it more convenient for access.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st floor might be noisier due to the proximity to the service entrance and possible bar activity. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms in this area.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address and orientation of Residence Ronchi on Via Dolomiti do not offer any specific views of notable landmarks or scenery. However, being in the heart of Molveno, you'll still have access to the town's amenities and stunning mountain views from nearby.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are likely the quietest, as they're away from the main road and service entrance noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Via Dolomiti is the primary noise concern, especially during peak tourist season. Be prepared for some traffic noise, even on higher floors.
Insider tips
Park your car in one of the designated parking spots, as street parking in Molveno can be limited. The residence offers a convenient parking area for guests. Request a room with a balcony for a more pleasant stay, as some rooms come with outdoor spaces offering a view of the surrounding mountains.
- 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

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Molveno village centre → Chalet Edelweiss (or ski lifts)
💡 The free 'Molveno Navetta' shuttle runs from the main car park to the lake and lift base – not essential for the hotel (it's walkable), but useful for ski gear. Don't rely on buses after 6pm in spring/autumn.
Verona Porta Nuova (train station) or Verona Airport (via bus link) → Molveno
💡 Take a regional train to Trento (€8-10), then the B201 bus. Avoid the high-speed Frecciarossa – costs more and doesn’t save time.
Verona Porta Nuova (or Trento station) → Chalet Edelweiss, Molveno
💡 Buy a 'Trentino Tourist Train Pass' – it covers the train from Verona to Trento and the bus to Molveno. At Trento station, the bus stop for Molveno is opposite the main exit, not at the bus terminal.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Molveno, Piazza del Municipio
💡 Check the B201 timetable in advance – it's infrequent. If you miss the last bus, take a taxi from San Lorenzo Dorsino, 20 mins away.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Residence Genzianella, Via G. Marconi, Molveno
💡 Book a fixed-price transfer to avoid haggling. Easytaxi.com covers this route reliably.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Chalet Edelweiss, Molveno
💡 Take FlixBus or Alto Adige shuttle from Verona to Trento station, then catch Trentino Trasporti bus 611 to Molveno. Get off at 'Molveno Piazze' stop – it's a 5-min walk to the hotel. Buy a combined ticket from the Trento info point, not the driver.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Chalet Edelweiss, Molveno
💡 Book through local Molveno operators (e.g., Taxi Molveno) for fixed rates – airport rank drivers may charge more. Confirm the driver knows the hotel's side road off Via Nazionale.
Verona Airport (VRN) → Molveno (drop-off near cable car)
💡 Direct, no changes. Best for skiers/boarders. Not available outside winter – check lavaredobus.it for exact dates.
Molveno town centre → Residence al Caminetto, Molveno
💡 Once in Molveno, the free ski shuttle (winter) or the navetta turistica (summer) runs from the car park at the lake up the hill to the hotel. Ask at the tourist office for the exact stop — it's called 'Caminetto' and drops you 50m from the entrance. Saves you the 15-minute uphill walk.
Molveno lakeside station (3 min walk from Hotel Zurigo) → Pradel mountain plateau
💡 Works as a hike shortcut — buy a one-way ticket down at the end of the day to save your knees.
Trento station → Molveno
💡 The tram runs north to Cles — get off at Mezzolombardo and hop on bus B201 to Molveno. The tram is scenic but slow; it's fine if you're not in a rush. Buy a 24-hour ticket for €8 to cover both tram and bus.
Verona Airport (VRN) or Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) → Hotel Zurigo, Molveno
💡 Order a shared shuttle from Bergamo — costs around €60 per person, drops you at Piazza Molveno, a 5-minute walk to the hotel.

💡 Go at sunset for the best light on the peaks; bring binoculars to spot golden eagles circling above the rock faces.
