Ski hotel right next to the slopes in South Tyrol

Where snowflakes whisper and mountains tell stories

Once the world is covered in magical white, there’s (almost) nothing keeping the little ones and grown-ups indoors: off they go to enjoy the glistening snow that has fallen from the sky in cotton candy flakes. The magical winter landscape looks like if it has jumped straight out of a fairytale book and all just to enchant you. Perfect conditions for a fun-filled day of skiing!

Put on your skis right outside the hotel door because the slopes are not far away: in one, two or three swings you can get directly to the “Brunner” connecting ski lift, which will take you to the sunny family skiing resort Gitschberg-Jochtal! Back you go by skiing down the amazing descent that leads directly to our ski hotel in South Tyrol.
