Alpine cloister hideaway
Velvet seating circles an open hearth in the glass Gloriette pavilion, surrounded by quiet pine forests and alpine peaks.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Glacial mineral spa rituals, a granite ice grotto, and an elevated treetop Finnish sauna overlooking alpine pines.
Notable
Knotted pine panelling, South Tyrolean stone, and clean Italian lines meet a glass-walled fireside pavilion.

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The contemplative Via Monachorum hiking trail starts at the doorstep, winding through the Senales Valley beneath towering glacial peaks.
The rooms
Knotted pine panelling and local mountain stone frame interiors, while select suites add private saunas and valley-facing terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Surrounded by snowdrifts and lit pines, the heated outdoor pool stays warm through the cold alpine winter.
The saunas
Elevated outdoor Finnish saunas look across snowy pine forests, and a timber hot tub rests in the garden.
The spa
Treatment rooms host soothing rituals formulated with glacial minerals harvested from the nearby Hochjochferner glacier.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Josef Stube serves valley game and foraged mountain herbs, and the vaulted cellar pours regional South Tyrolean wines.
How it began
Founded inside a fourteenth-century Carthusian monastery, the former cloister was transformed by the Grüner family into a high-alpine retreat.
