In the morning the sun rises over the peaks, in the evening the lights sparkle in the valley. In this absolute top location on a sun-drenched south-facing slope above Burgeis, every corner of DAS GERSTL Alpine Retreat opens up views that you will never forget, just like the warm, down-to-earth hospitality of the owner family Gerstl.

At 1,500 meters above sea level, guests can enjoy pleasant temperatures even in the warmer months, while relaxing in the open air on box seats by the 18-meter-long, year-round heated infinity pool, on cosy day beds or in the outdoor whirlpool in the sauna garden. Relax, read a good book, take a dip in one of the pools, let your gaze and thoughts wander - all of this is possible at Hotel Gerstl.

The exclusive suites also invite you to do nothing. The new 60 square meter pool suite with a private infinity pool and whirlpool, a large veranda and its own garden for undisturbed togetherness is certainly a special experience. The pleasant vacation feeling of lightness and light-heartedness spreads at the latest during a floating aperitif in the cool water.

If you do want to leave the retreat, there are hikes to nearby Switzerland, mountain bike trails, irrigation canals along historic irrigation channels or a visit to the smallest town in the Southern Alps: the medieval town of Glurns. The Gerstl team also offers daily guided excursions, from guided e-bike tours to joint forest bathing.

After a day full of activities and fresh mountain air, the evening ends with a delicious, multi-course meal. For all their innovative spirit, the Gerstl family relies on tried and tested dishes: the hotel's regionally oriented cuisine, which sources its products from the surrounding area to support the farmers in the valley and protect the environment with short transportation routes, is already a tradition. Once a week on r30 Day, all ingredients even come from within a radius of no more than thirty kilometers - this is when the creativity of head chef Michael Ziernheld and his team is particularly in demand. It is clear how much everyone is behind this concept. When the first elderflowers can be harvested in early summer, for example, fresh blossoms from many of the employees' gardens are brought to the hotel for processing. Fruit, herbs and berries are also grown locally by the GERSTL Unique team. If you would like to take a look behind the scenes of the Gerstl's gourmet workshop, you can do so at the weekly kitchen party. Here, culinary delights are celebrated in a special way and guests are invited to watch the chefs prepare dinner and collect the delicacies from the kitchen in person. If that's not enough, book an exclusive evening at Gerstl's Chef's Table in the middle of the action in the hotel kitchen.

The extent to which the family is rooted in the region is illustrated not only by the r30 philosophy in the food, but also by its continuation in other areas: Building materials are sourced locally wherever possible and are processed by local craftspeople, the cosmetic products are made from regional ingredients and even the staff almost all come from within a radius of just 30 kilometers.

Our pool landscape is generously designed on different levels with the wellness pool, the brine pool, the sports pool for swimming lengthways and especially our nude pool on the roof terrace. In our 7 different saunas you can enjoy the view of the vineyards with a wonderful panoramic view.
The health weeks with pur-life are a highlight with courses on back fitness, fascia and bellicon®. We offer tours with racing bikes and mountain bikes all year round. Hike with the Lindenhof hiking guides or train with trained fitness trainers in the Fit & Fun House. Our yoga teacher offers gentle relaxation techniques and yoga units.
Culinary moments in Naturno: you will be enchanted by the great wines and regional delicacies. Every week there is an evening wine tasting with South Tyrolean wine producers in the shelter as well as various wine tastings with the sommelier in the DolceVita Resort Lindenhof. The wine rally inspires with three Vinschgau vintners and a product tasting in the organic farm shop. Our chefs use high quality and sustainably produced ingredients from the region.
In the Lindenhof Lifestyle DolceVita Resort, 70 rooms and suites await you, including some with sleeping in the open air, with modern and elegant furnishings, especially made from local larch.

Like the tulip, the habicher hof stands for joie de vivre and optimism - and inspires with a Tyrolean attitude to life, modern living comfort and lots of charm. With a spacious wellness area, several saunas and the combined indoor and outdoor pool with a length of 25 meters, the habicher hof is a place to take a deep breath and relax. Enjoy relaxing hours in the relaxation room or let yourself be pampered with luxurious wellness treatments.

In the evening and in the morning you will be spoiled by chef Michael and his team with regional and unusual delicacies and enjoy our vitality board with breakfast, 5-course gourmet menu in the evening and the typical Tyrolean "Nachmittagsjausn".

The habicher hof is your feel-good hotel in the Ötztal - for over 60 years.
