Dear Guests, we would like to present our essence

VISION

We want to be a leading and sustainable company, which evokes emotions through regeneration, which faces change with innovation and love, in order to create well-being for our guests, our collaborators, the nature and the society that surrounds us.

MISSION

We want to recall the spirit of the past. The essence that you breathe in as you walk through the door - the magic savoir faire of the “Bel Paese”, welcoming smiles, and affectionate memories. A time when holidays were made of rest, tranquillity, and true hospitality. Where frenzy, rudeness, and ostentation are not the norm. Here nothing is design.  Here everything has a soul, which leads to dialogue and humanity. A humanity that has been lost. A humanity in which people can make mistakes. A humanity in which perfection doesn’t exist, if not that of mother nature. A humanity made of respect for nature and people. A humanity in which dialogue, a smile, an “excuse me”, and a “thank you” still exist. We love sustainability in all its aspects. For this reason, we pay a great deal of attention to the selection and development of our employees. Our staff and the nature are our most precious resources, whom we carefully safeguard.

I have been working with the De Dorigo family for 12 years. I have always been very happy.

A. & A. - Housekeeper and Porter / Driver

My husband and I have been working in this company for 5 years.
Before starting to work with the De Dorigo family we always heard only good things about them and so we decided to try it too.
We are lucky, we have both been hired and this has allowed us to work together.
After all these years we can say that we have not only found an employer, but a big family: that welcomes you with kindness and advises you when you need it with a smile.
In this company, quality work is demanded, but they guarantee you as many quality products and vehicles.
We have worked in many companies, but this is definitely the one we would like to stay in until we retire!

OUR HISTORY

The Laguscei Dolomites Mountain Hotel began with a love story. It was the love story between Gabriella and Martino. Gabriella is the oldest daughter of Giorgio, a builder who emigrated to Switzerland, who is a rock and ice instructor with the Guardia di Finanza (Italian Finance Police) with strong entrepreneurial foresight, and Albina, an esteemed chef.

The Laguscei can be considered to be the offspring of the Hotel Monte Cherz. In fact, everything began when they followed their intuition and decided to purchase some property with a cabin near the Cherz ski lift. In previous years, this land was known for having a multitude of small lakes in the higher area, near the forest, which were frequented by migrating birds. This is the origin of the name Laguscei, from the Ladin “many small lakes”.

The golden age had begun: these were the years when the cabin had been transformed into a kiosk and people came from all over to enjoy Gabriella’s heaping sandwiches, Annalisa’s chips (she’s the youngest daughter of Giorgio and Albina), and Giorgio’s congeniality. These were the years of the famous ice bars with rivers of grappa cocktails, ABBA cranked up high, and lots of healthy fun.

Then came 1986. This was the year Gabriella and Martino got married and contributed to the beginning of the construction of the first Laguscei, a 2-Star hotel with 17 rooms and a self-service restaurant on the slopes. Needless to say, no one forgets the years spent with Martino. Even today, guests remember him as “Super Martino”. Some remember him at the bar, preparing coffee, some in the office for check-ins, some at the Self-Service restaurant, preparing steaming hot polenta dishes, and some shovelling snow with the tractor between accounts, always steadfast and with affectionate cordiality.

30 years later, the Laguscei has grown and today it has become a 3-star superior hotel with 46 rooms, a pool, and a wellness centre.
