About Residence Carlina

With a fantastic ski-in/ski-out location, you’ll enjoy easy access to the mountain every morning. It’s the perfect starting point for exploring the massive Paradiski area and its 400km of world-class runs. You are also a short walk away from the resort centre, which has a range of cafes, bars and restaurants - many of which are open for lunch and dinner, and provide a convenient spot to meet the non-skiers for lunch. 

If you’re heading to the mountains with family or friends, these apartments are the perfect base. They're designed to feel bright, airy, and—most importantly—super cosy. There’s plenty of room for everyone to come together without feeling squeezed. After a day on the slopes, you can kick back in your private sauna or watch the skiers make their way back for the evening from the balcony. Plus, the boot warmers in your designated ski locker mean you’ll start every morning with toasty feet - what could be better?

Escape the cold and step into the cosy embrace of Carlina Bar, perfect for your first morning espresso, an afternoon hot chocolate pitstop or your final moonlit cocktail before bed. Located in Hotel Carlina, it's open 10am - 11:30pm, and blends sleek modern design with the timeless warmth of a roaring fire. Grab a seat, soak in the panoramic mountain views, and watch the sun dip behind the snowy peaks.
