High-alpine timber keep
Set at 2,000 meters in a car-free alpine reserve, unlit timber pathways connect contemporary larch chalets under the crags of Sassopiatto.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Shingle-roofed larch chalets inspired by traditional South Tyrolean hay barns, accented with felt and loden fabrics.
Notable
A timber wellness pavilion featuring a panoramic Finnish sauna framing Mount Sassopiatto through angled picture windows.
Notable
High-alpine mountain pasture living beneath Sassopiatto, serving regional South Tyrolean farm dishes alongside local wines.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The car-free high plateau of Seiser Alm offers ski-in trails in winter and wildflower meadow hikes right from the doorstep.
The rooms
Chalet interiors wrap you in raw larch slats and acoustic felt flooring, finished with tailored loden textiles and carved stone sinks.
The sauna
Dual picture windows in the Finnish sauna look out over the valley and toward the crags of Sassopiatto.
The relaxation lounge
Wide upholstered daybeds line the timber-clad lounge, where guests can pause over hot herbal tea.
Lounge Bar and Stube
Wood-panelled dining rooms set with white tablecloths serve regional South Tyrolean dishes alongside cellar wines.
At the table
The central lounge bar is carved from a solid fir trunk, serving drinks under exposed timber beams.
How it began
Karl von Zallinger acquired the pasture in 1854, building the neo-Gothic chapel that still anchors this reimagined historic hamlet.
