History

In the early Sixties Ermanno Gross and his sons Emilio, Fernando and Giancarlo built in “Grave” area a new joiner’s workshop for wood manifacturing, that was the family occupation. This workshop was one of the first buildings to stand in that fascinating corner in the town of Pozza.

In the Seventies the joiner’s workshop was transferred in another town area and the remaining building was extended, renewed and converted into a holiday residence. This residence was the destination of many mountain holiday camps and during the years continually got better (e.g. bathrooms in every room) and eventually converted from holiday residence to hotel to which Ermanno, the grandfather, chose to name Astor.

In the 1981 the son Fernando with his wife Tullia and the little Katia and Tiziano (7 and 4 years) decided to manage the hotel. From then there were made continuous building improvements until 2005, when the Astor Horel went completely renewed and modified tranforming itself into Sas Morin Hotel. It was decided to change the name of the hotel: the Sas Morin is the mountain of the Monzoni group, next to the most known Cima 11 and Cima 12, to which it has been dedicated  as a indelible mark of the connection that binds us to our wonderful mountains.

And tradition! We are Ladins!

The Ladins are a community that settled in five valleys that leave from the Sella Massif, in the Dolomites, where today an ancient language is still spoken. Even in their diversity, the idioms of Gardena, Badia, Fassa, Livinallongo and Ampezzo represent local varieties of the same language, the Ladin language, that occupies an independent position in the outline of the Romance or neo-Latin languages.
