Dolomite culinary outpost
Perched over 5,000 feet up in the Sarntal Alps, floor-to-ceiling glass and raw timber bring the jagged Dolomites indoors.
What it’s good at
Notable
Floor-to-ceiling glass, untreated Swiss stone pine, and massive oak timbers frame panoramic Dolomite views in an elevated Alpine style.
Notable
Intimate ten-room hospitality guided personally by the Schneider siblings, paired with bespoke cellar tastings and transcendent breakfasts.
Notable
Deep Sarntal immersion rooted in wild Alpine herb foraging, regional woodworking, and direct trails to ancient cairns.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The hotel, too, is memorable, a modernist interpretation of Tyrolean chalet architecture.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Direct mountain paths lead through quiet pine forests up to the ancient Stoanerne Mandln stone cairns at two thousand meters.
The rooms
Ten minimalist rooms feature untreated Swiss stone pine, natural oak floors, and private balconies framing sweeping southern mountain panoramas.
The sauna and whirlpool
A traditional hay sauna warms the room with dried grasses, beside a 35°C whirlpool looking onto the Dolomites.
The spa
Armchairs gather around open fireplaces in timber-lined lounges, and body treatments use organic Alpine herbs.
Dogs stay too.
Terra Restaurant
Two-Michelin-starred dishes center on wild foraged herbs, and over a thousand labels rest inside the glass wine cube.
How it began
Founded as a 1940 mountain shelter by the owners' grandfather, the family transformed the retreat into a modernist culinary hideaway.
