Hotel Lichtenstern. Alpine idyll with sweeping views of the Dolomites High up at 1,300 metres, nestled in the gentle expanse of the Ritten sun plateau, Hotel Lichtenstern lies like a quiet retreat among flower meadows, larches and firs. Right on the picturesque Freud Promenade, a panorama opens up onto the Schlern, the Rosengarten and the Latemar, setting the rhythm of the day. The Ritten narrow-gauge railway, just a few steps away, combines the calm of nature with the ease of discovering South Tyrol entirely without a car. Run for generations by the Hohenegger.Platter family, the architecture of the house unites deep-rooted tradition with contemporary design. Bright rooms, natural materials such as larch, oak and Ritten chestnut as well as generous balconies create an atmosphere that feels both clear and warm. Inside and outside flow seamlessly into one another, accompanied by light, wood and earthy tones. The result is a place that conveys a sense of shelter while at the same time making the vastness of the mountain landscape tangible. Culinary life is shaped by the region. Fresh herbs, vegetables and produce from the surrounding area find their way into an honest South Tyrolean cuisine with Mediterranean influences. The day begins with a rich breakfast of sweet and savoury specialities, much of it homemade, while in the evening regional dishes are served on the panoramic terrace or in the restaurant. After active hours in the mountains, whether on the many hiking trails, by bike or in winter on the Rittner Horn, the wellness area with saunas, steam bath, whirlpool and infinity-pool invites guests to unwind. Between crisp mountain air and quiet nature, a balance of movement and calm emerges that lingers long after.

Lake Spa Hotel SEELEITEN is a place for everyone who rethinks wellness – relaxed, mindful and in harmony with nature. Just a few meters from Lake Kaltern, the hotel combines modern spa design, innovative longevity treatments and regional cuisine into a lifestyle balancing lightness and depth. Cryotherapy, IHHT and four elements rituals meet yoga by the lake, sauna sessions with vineyard views and refreshing jumps into the water. In addition to the modern spa facilities, the hotel offers private lake access with free SUP boards and boat rental, as well as wines and craft beer from its own production.

Directly on Lake Wolfsgruben on the Ritten plateau near Oberbozen lies the Weihrerhof, a quiet refuge for those who wish to experience South Tyrol from its tranquil side. This four star nature hotel combines mindful deceleration with a genuine lake feeling and a location that is rare in South Tyrol. With only 23 rooms, the Weihrerhof remains personal, understated and pleasantly exclusive. Between forest, meadows and water, a retreat unfolds for couples, connoisseurs and all those seeking wellness and nature in special harmony, close to Bolzano yet far removed from everyday life. The heart of the hotel is the SeaSpa, a wellness world consistently oriented towards the lake. The indoor pool opens views into the greenery, complemented by harmonious relaxation areas and saunas that make the outdoors tangible. Particularly distinctive is the boathouse sauna directly on the shore, with unobstructed views of the lake and the characteristic interplay of warmth, fresh lake air and silence that can only be experienced in a lakeside wellness hotel in South Tyrol. Culinary delights are provided by a gourmet half board, shaped by regional products from the Ritten, fine craftsmanship and honest flavors, regularly highlighted by many guests as a true highlight. Tranquility also defines the living experience. Natural materials, warm colors and clear lines create a relaxed atmosphere, depending on the room with views of the lake or into the forest. The Weihrerhof is ideal for a romantic wellness holiday on the Ritten, with walks along the water, gentle hikes and excursions into the Bolzano area at any time of year. A car free holiday is easily possible thanks to good connections and the RittenCard. The overall experience is complemented by a consistently practiced sustainability concept, certified with the sustainability label Level 3 according to GSTC criteria, perceptible throughout the entire stay.
