What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Quellenhof See Lodge is a wellness-oriented adults-only luxury hotel… built in and around a vast and winding lagoon-style pool.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the Passeier Valley along the Passer river, enclosed within private lake grounds below alpine slopes.
The rooms
Lake Villas stand over the water on stilts. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto private sun decks facing the surrounding pines.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A swim channel connects the indoor pool to a heated 25-metre outdoor infinity pool beside open-air whirlpool decks.
The spa
Therapists use the property's proprietary Q Touch skincare for bodywork and facials across five dedicated treatment rooms.
The sauna and yoga studio
Curved timber tiers face the terrace in the circular sauna, and a dedicated studio hosts panoramic mountain yoga.
At the table
Chef Julian Marth serves six-course Alpine-Mediterranean dinners behind full-height glass looking straight out across the lake.
How it began
The Dorfer family started here in 1923, running a modest riverside inn famous for blue trout caught in the Passer.
