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!

The multi-award-winning wellness resort in the heart of Rhineland-Palatinate owes its fame not least to its exquisite cuisine: in addition to the Villa restaurant and the Hermannshof gourmet restaurant, the Jungborn attracts guests from near and far.

Together with his team at Felke Med Praxis, he looks after fasting guests who want to completely regenerate body and mind and embark on the "royal road to health".

In summer, the natural swimming pond with sandy beach and Beach.Bar brings alpine beach vibes. In winter, the Fire Bar directly on the ski slope invites guests to grill, chill, and enjoy laid-back sounds.
Forest. Meadow. Precious. – these three words represent the philosophy of the Seer family and their team. They shape the design, the cuisine, and the overall experience at the hotel. Sustainability, regionality, and mindful use of natural resources are lived values – from handpicked materials in the interior to products from local artisans.

In GOLDBERG’s culinary world, regionality takes center stage. The kitchen team works with fresh ingredients from local producers, bakes bread daily, smokes their own bacon, and serves creative dishes inspired by forest and meadow.

Here you can swim in revitalized Grander water, which is also used throughout the hotel to refresh body and soul.

The sauna area with Finnish sauna, steam bath, bio sauna and textile sauna is a hot spot in the truest sense of the word. Cool down and relax in the varied relaxation and rest areas. Skin contact with nature is the order of the day here: relaxing in the "Heustadel" is a feast for the senses amidst fragrant hay beds filled with hay from the hotel's own farm.

"Signature Treatment" is the formula for inner and outer beauty at "Sky Beauty". There are no standardized treatments, only individual cosmetic and therapeutic applications. The program is put together after a detailed initial consultation and fits the guest's personal needs like the proverbial key to a lock. A fitness room, equipped with Techno Gym machines, as well as a gym and yoga room perfect the interplay of tension and relaxation.

The gourmet worlds at Bergland are divided into the hotel restaurant with 190 seats and the à la carte restaurant "Wine & Dine". The hotel restaurant, with its many cozy seating niches and parlors, presents itself as a two-level pleasure retreat. Architectural sophistication is evident in the careful choice of colors and materials.

THE Bergland summer highlight in the usual sophisticated casual luxury design: the high-end outdoor pool combines turquoise blue water with the unique mountain backdrop surrounding the Bergland Hotel in the center of Sölden. The "Skyfall" elevator takes you directly from the Sky SPA to the greenery of our garden, where exclusive loungers and the cool water await you - jump in and dive in deluxe!

In the comfortably warm outdoor pool with massage bench, you can look directly at the breathtaking mountain peaks of the Tauern. The highlight is the hot tub right on the Edelweiss slope. If it is more than 36 degrees warm, close your eyes and let your mind wander, it couldn't be better. Two original Finnish Kelo saunas with a view of the unique mountain landscape, the steam bath with hand-shaped ceramics, the brine grotto and the tepidarium get tired muscles going again. Recharge your batteries in the "Room of Silence" and "Room of the Sun", switch off and find peace of mind - a guarantee for slowing down and taking a break from everyday life.
