Europe's greenest hotel is in South Tyrol: on the trail of sustainability
In 2023, the climate-positive Naturhotel Leitlhof was awarded the title of "Europe's Leading Green Hotel" for the fourth time and can once again call itself an official "climate partner". The hotel also meets the criteria of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. The commitment to nature and climate protection includes the energy supply with its own wood-fired combined heat and power plant, electric car charging stations and local suppliers.

South Tyrolean slow food in its most original form
The cuisine at Naturhotel Leitlhof is sustainable, regional and seasonal. The chefs use freshly picked herbs from their own garden to refine their dishes. The nearby farm "Mühlhof", which also belongs to the Mühlmann family, provides the hotel with many types of vegetables and potatoes from its own fields. These ingredients are used to cover all the kitchen requirements. The high-quality meat also comes directly from the farm - from the hotel's own Angus cattle farm.

Hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites
As a member of "Wanderhotels - best alpine", the nature hotel is the ideal starting point for hikes, mountain and trekking tours. The trails into the world-famous Sesto Dolomites start right outside the door. The hotel's own hiking map with tips from local guides and two certified guides show Leitlhof guests the most beautiful routes off the beaten track several times a week. Tip: Hike to the Toblacher Pfannhorn at 2,663 meters.

Alpine spa between onsen pool and pine sauna
Since 2023, Leitlhof guests have been enjoying the 3,000 square meter wellness area in the South Tyrolean four-star superior hotel. The newly designed spa landscape attracts visitors with highlights such as the Japanese-style onsen pool, the black Finnish sauna and the fragrant Swiss stone pine sauna. The omnipresent panoramic view of the Dolomites makes the wellness experience even sweeter. As part of the numerous wellness treatments, the wellness professionals use products from the South Tyrolean cosmetics line Team Dr. Joseph. These are certified organic and 100 percent natural.

Insider tip for historically interested strollers
Just a ten-minute walk from the Naturhotel Leitlhof (and three minutes from the second hotel, Atto Suites & Cuisine), the historic center of San Candido surprises with its culture and long-established craft businesses. The collegiate church, Franciscan monastery and the famous DoloMythos Museum in the pedestrian zone take visitors on a journey through time between the World Heritage Site and the Middle Ages. Cozy felt slippers have been rolled at the Zacher hat maker's workshop for generations.

By bike and train through Val Pusteria/Pustertal
Val Pusteria/Pustertal in the north-east of South Tyrol is a paradise for two-wheeled enthusiasts thanks to its numerous attractive routes, some of which even cross borders. Guests of the Naturhotel Leitlhof can hire bikes and mountain bikes free of charge at the hotel, e-bikes for a fee. With the Mobilcard, buses and trains can be used free of charge throughout South Tyrol. Among the most beautiful routes are those to the Sesto mountain pastures and to Cortina d'Ampezzo - guided bike tours regularly take Leitlhof guests there.

The spacious wellness area of the hotel shines with indoor and outdoor pools, nature bio pool, whirlpools and 10 saunas with daily infusions. Families can enjoy precious moments in the separate family spa area and in the family textile sauna area.

A variety of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing, skiing and tobogganing await right outside the front door.

In winter you can ski on 119 km of slopes at Kronplatz, South Tyrol's No. 1 ski area, or experience the famous Sellaronda ski tour. In summer, the beautiful landscape is best discovered on extensive hikes.

Fine cuisine and selected wines should of course not be missing during an active holiday in the Val Pusteria! Regional and Italian specialties crown your holiday.

The Gassenhof is an adventure resort in the truest sense of the word. Those who spend their vacation at this hotel in Ridnaun enjoy relaxing moments in and around the adventure resort.

In summer, a hiking vacation in South Tyrol becomes an unforgettable experience. We accompany you on alpine hikes or high mountain tours and introduce you to the flora and fauna of South Tyrol. During cozy hours in the traditional alpine huts, you will learn many an anecdote from the Ridnaun Valley.

In winter, the area around the adventure village is ideal for cross-country skiing and skiing vacations in South Tyrol. The snow-sure Racines/Ratschings Valley with its wide cross-country ski trails and perfectly groomed pistes is a true Eldorado for winter lovers.
We offer you an unforgettable experience of the relaxing kind in the Gassenbadl and in the new Logen Spa of our wellness hotel near Racines/Ratschings.

Enjoy the peace and quiet and let us pamper you!

Your gaze wanders in amazement from top to bottom. The extraordinary wellness areafloats between the lush blue sky and the idyllic valley, eclipsing everything that has gone before.
The elegant huts, some of which are scattered upside down on the filigree platform, are reminiscent of the original alpine huts that adorn the gentle high alpine meadows in this unique region.
Heaven & Hell is the name of the spectacular, free-floating, two-storey wellness platform in steel construction, which is connected to the hotel's relaxation room via a delicate footbridge and offers guests new perspectives of well-being. The view sweeps far across the valley and mountains to the most beautiful natural wonder in the world: the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the pleasantly warm water of the lounger or seated whirlpool on the upper floor gently caresses the body, those seeking peace and quiet sink into the beauty of nature and believe they have arrived in heaven.

In addition to two saunas and a nude whirlpool, guests can expect a cold chamber and, of course, a heavenly view of the mountains.
