Gently nestled between mountain peaks, it lies there, in perhaps the most beautiful valley in the world. Our Hotel Valavier is located in the Brandnertal – embraced by the Rätikon and guarded by the sky itself.

Immerse yourself in gentle water. Free yourself from everyday worries. Let yourself be carried by the element. Find lightness. Let yourself drift. The view of the sky. No matter whether in the year-round heated outdoor pool directly in the paradise garden. Splashing around with the children at the children's pool. Or indoors in the stylish sky bath, with a heavenly panoramic view over the Brandnertal. We love it when you show up with us to hide away.

Real warmth and real people: these are our inclusive services. Come in to Valavier!

In summer, hikes and e-bike tours start directly from the hotel, while in winter you can head straight from the ski room to the slopes of the Carezza ski area. Guided tours, wine tastings, sunrise hikes, ski days or snowshoe hikes - our activity program is as varied as the Dolomites themselves.

Relax in the Dolomiti Mountain Spa (adults only) with ski pool, panoramic saunas and sundowner relaxation rooms. For families, the Family Spa offers an indoor pool, whirlpool and dress-on sauna.

Massages and treatments with the power of Alpine nature await you at Carezza Beauty.
Our alpine-modern suites in the new building and the renovated rooms in the main building combine natural charm and comfort - with lots of wood, warm colors and attention to detail.

Enjoy South Tyrolean culinary specialties with Mediterranean lightness - made from seasonal, regional ingredients and prepared with passion.

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.

The hotel impresses with its tasteful architecture and enchanting details. The interior of the hotel continues this special symbiosis: individually furnished with love and a sense of style, warm colors, fine fabrics. We hope that you will experience the Majestic as a source of strength. In a traditional hotel where the Alpine and Mediterranean art of living form the framework for a unique attitude to life.

In a ski hotel where alpine winter sports become a celebration. Located right next to the ski area, you can glide down the slopes and cross-country ski trails. In a hiking hotel where your heart will open with every meter of altitude you climb with our hiking guide. Unlimited freedom, fantastic mountains and unforgettable impressions of nature. In a wellness hotel where everyday moments take a back seat. And moments of relaxation come to life. In the here. And in the now.

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.

South Tyrol - that's the place where Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Where enjoyment and culinary delights are writ large, where the heart is in the right place and where people are simply a little happier - and it is precisely this way of life that Luis Hillebrand, a true South Tyrolean, wants to bring to life - in the middle of the Allgäu. The more than 7,000 square meter garden with two natural lakes, Merano promenade, Kaltern hill and new palm tree infinity pool still form the heart of the complex today.

There is an alpine part with huts made of rustic shingles and an original Ultner herb garden and a Mediterranean part with palm trees and an infinity pool. This is where the two hearts of the South Tyroleans meet, combining Alpine lightness with Mediterranean flair and reflecting the multifaceted landscape of South Tyrol.

The more than 2,500 m² wellness area offers an indoor pool, a whirlpool, a bio sauna, a Finnish sauna, a South Tyrolean organic herbal sauna, a steam bath, forest lounges and a new Merano palm relaxation room.

In the restaurant, Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Delicious dishes with natural ingredients, the herbs come from the hotel's own garden. High-quality products from small producers from our homeland - that's all you need, emphasizes Luis Hillebrand. South Tyrolean speck, fresh Alpine cheese, original Schlutzkrapfen or a racy glass of wine from the Merano winery. 100% South Tyrolean feeling - in the middle of the Allgäu.
