We came (young couple) for 5 nights in this hotel for the second times, this summer, to ride bikes and enjoy of the wellness center. The staff is always great and friendly, it's better to call them instead to use an intermediate website to book. They provide good informations and tips.
The Hotel is a good place to come with his MTB, you have a place to store it and wash it if needed and Livigno is great place to ride (XC or DH MTB). This year there were no bike guide, it may come again next year. For people who doesn't know the area, it's a plus.
Rooms and in general the Hotel are beautiful and with a great view on mountains.
After a day of biking, we could use the wellness center without extra fees.

The only cons that we have is that we found the bed a little bit hard this time, we didn't notice it the first time we came.

My husband and I arrived at Lac Salin after a long road trip from Rotterdam, and were warmly welcomed by Riccardo with a glass of sparkly and given the opportunity to relax whilst our check in was completed. We were introduced to Fabio (Owner) and Mauro (Manager) who assisted us with our luggage to our room. This had spectacular views of the Alps from the balcony, was spacious with separate lounge area and a roomy bathroom - with a great power shower. From the cleaning staff to the waiting staff, nothing was any trouble - eggs cooked to order each morning and additional towels each evening if required. Being a Spa hotel, we took advantage of the chance to unwind using the Spa most evenings - we also enjoyed a few treatments - though more expensive than other places we've been. A wide variety of choices for breakfast and dinner, the food was lovely and a light option available if you wished - local specialities on offer each evening also. Highly recommend trying Sforzato, lovely red wine from the Valtellina region. If you make it to Livigno, make sure and stay over at Lac Salin, you won't be disappointed. Thanks to you all for making it a holiday to remember.

I recommend the SPA, it's a must have if you stay in Lac Salin. You'll find the Lac Salin to be a cozy place even if the hotel is a big one by Livigno standards. Has an open parking place and an indoor parking place, for free. It's not in the center, if there is any, but in winter you can take your boots and sky right from the hotel as there is a sky-lift near by.

Livigno is also a very nice place to sky and to do shopping.

First week of march 2011 we did spend a fantastic week in Hotel Lac Salin, we had a reservation in the also very nice Hotel Concordia but something went wrong with reservation/e-mail, small misunderstanding and so we got a room in Hotel Lac Salin.
The chakra suite,, heaven" that we had for this week was very nice, large room with nice sunny balcony that looks over the skipiste. The room is something you see in a magazine : Italian Design in optima forma; there is a modern bathtub in the middle of the room with a window above it that opens with a remote control. A big golden leather chair on a white fur carpet. The bed is made of white leather with crocoprint, realy very nice and different. The large bathroom has everything you need, even mouthwash and shaving cream, and the largesize shower has also a wooden floor, we travel a lot but this we had never seen before. The towels are changed several times a day, by the way those towels smell so nice and fresh, also heavenly.
There are fluffy nice bathrobes and slippers to go to the spa.The spa is spacious, with sauna, herbalbath, turkish bath, relaxing beds, very nice showers, large pool, whirlpool, training room, sunbanks, etc. etc. and you can have a lot of treatments in the spa, like massages and various treatments for heath and skin. There is a little ,,bar" for free softdrinks and warming tea's.
The meals are what you expect from a 4 1/2 star hotel, good quality Italian cuisine, specialy the antipasto buffet is everyday a suprise, it was difficult not to eat to much of it, because there is pasta ( choise of 4) and a maincourse ( also choise of 4) coming . The dessert buffet is also fantastic with a large variety of Italian dessert and pies. The winelist has a lot of choise of very good wines. Breakfast 5 stars, with fresh carrotjuice, eggs made at your choise and a lot of cheese and ham etc. The hotel was fully booked but all the items at the buffets at breakfast or diner were never empty and refilled constantly - perfection, the people that work in the restaurant are very professionel, nice and friendly, they see everything, so there is never an empty plate in the buffet.
For skiing the hotel has maybe the best position in Livigno, you step down from the terras and you walk 30 seconds to the first skilift that will take you to the best skiarea ever, wide pistes that are so huge that you are almost alone on the mountain, we never waited longer than a few minutes for any lift. On the mountain you can eat for a few euro's nice Italian dishes (not too much think of the buffet tonight!!!) After a superday you can ski all the way back to the hotel, step up the terras for a warm bombardillo.
Your car is in the garage that has a carwash and air for your tyres, how nice.
Is there nothing negative about this place? yes : AFTER YOUR HOLLIDAY YOU HAVE TO LEAVE .
