Michelin Selected
Michelin
it’s here, on the Ritten ridge, not far from Bolzano, that you’ll find Hotel Weihrerhof, a hotel that takes both the Alpine enthusiasm for wellness and the Italian appreciation for the good life to their logical extremes
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walking trails loop around Lake Costalovara and across the Renon plateau, with views opening toward the Dolomites.
The rooms
Knotty pine paneling and crimson fabrics warm the rooms, with windows opening toward the water or larch woods.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated spring water fills the indoor pool, where arched windows look out across the lakeside lawn.
The spa
A timber boathouse sauna sits at the water's edge, and quiet lounges look out through arched windows.
Hotel Restaurant
Four-course dinners follow a near-zero-waste philosophy, served beside floor-to-ceiling glass doors facing the terrace.
At the table
Guests gather at the curved timber bar for evening aperitifs, seated beside shelves of books.
How it began
Cilli and Friedl Pichler opened the property in 1967 with just three rooms and a lakeside dancing tavern.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
