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 ****S wellness hotel is a retreat for adults only, where the needs of guests aged 16 and over who are looking for relaxation are catered for. Nestled in the gentle hills of the thermal and volcanic region, you are very close to nature and the region invites you to actively explore. Here the golf adventure calls and the thermal water splashes relaxedly in front of you.

The perfect place for a romantic break for two, an active holiday for nature lovers or a wellness weekend with your best friends. An ideal place for your business event. Because in the SPA RESORT STYRIA you will find the perfect working environment for seminars and conferences.

REALLY relaxing – the GOLD SPA
Feel the lightness of being when you are carried on your hands by the healing thermal water, take a sauna in the pleasant warmth or swim lengths in the outdoor sports pool. In the Gold SPA you can quickly switch to relaxation mode. On an area of around 2500m2, surrounded by a garden landscape, you will find a wellness and sauna area that invites you to relax and switch off with cozy relaxation rooms, a spacious, shady sunbathing lawn and a panorama lounge. For a pampering program from head to toe, put yourself in the "golden hands" of the experts and enjoy an individual facial treatment, a relaxing massage or a wonderfully nourishing body pack with maximum effectiveness.

REALLY enjoyable 
Culinary moments of happiness are part of a successful holiday. That's why the chefs at the SPA RESORT STYRIA really cook, bake and roast their guests. Always fresh, prepared with time and love. Traditional recipes from the best regional ingredients, creatively interpreted and tasted internationally. The kitchen team at the Spa Resort Styria pampers the palate of its guests with a rich breakfast buffet and delicious 6-course gourmet menus or an extra portion of romance with a candlelight dinner. For a snack and a sweet treat in between or a refreshing drink after a sauna session, the best thing to do is lean back in the golden berths in the SPA BISTRO and enjoy the culinary moment in your bathrobe.

REALLY eventful.
Cycling, Nordic walking, (wine) hiking, tennis or golf - the resort is an ideal starting point for moving moments, as a balance to the wellness treatments and sweet idleness. The focus is not only on movement, but also on the experience that allows you to pause and enjoy. Cyclists can rent an e-bike directly from the hotel and have countless pleasure kilometers and 14 themed cycle paths in front of their handlebars. Pleasure hikers stop between the vineyards at a wine tavern. But golfers are also in absolute pole position here, because the 18-hole course of the Bad Waltersdorf golf club welcomes them directly opposite the resort.

REAL productive.
In the SPA RESORT STYRIA you can combine work and pleasure. Discuss in a relaxed environment, realize and enjoy creative ideas - and then get active and relax together in the thermal baths and volcano country.
