Sonnenhof Lam****Superior – more than a hotel.
An experience resort that combines wellness, culinary delights, active holidays, and unforgettable family moments into a unique lifestyle.

Welcome to our special place of well-being, the sun-kissed Hotel Schönblick in Rodeneck near the most beautiful high Alpine pasture in South Tyrol. At our wellness hotel in South Tyrol, every day is full of precious moments.

Freedom, space, movement - especially now it is important to find a place for relaxation and tranquillity where you can rediscover the unspoilt nature. We live this happiness every day and would like to continue to share it with you.

Your Amort family

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.

Here, right by the lake, surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery of the Steinernes Meer, the warm-hearted host family around Hannes and Martina Riedlsperger have created an exclusive place of indulgence - a place to relax, recharge your batteries and have a really good time.

The Spa am See is located between the two buildings that make up the Wellnesshotel Ritzenhof. The underground wellness oasis opens directly onto the shore of Lake Ritzensee with a private sunbathing lawn. There you can doze in one of the shell and floating loungers with the sound of the reeds in your ears. An indoor pool, Finnish sauna, textile sauna, steam bath, sanarium, infrared cabin and massages or beauty treatments tailored to your individual needs await you in the spa by the lake.

In winter, the cross-country ski trail runs right past the spa and provides access to the region's extensive network of trails. Some people also chase their childhood memories on ice skates on the frozen Ritzensee or simply warm themselves by the flickering fire.

The stylishly furnished rooms and suites are deliberately kept simple; nothing should distract from the essentials. Clear lines and materials replace the sensory overload to which we are exposed in everyday life. The reduction to the essentials helps you to switch off quickly and consciously move in the here and now.

In addition to the breathtaking surroundings, the indoor area impresses above all with its professionalism and authenticity. The versatile spa and wellness landscape extends over a total of 4,000 m². The extensive pool landscape has a large indoor pool with integrated bubble loungers and massage jets as well as a splash shower. The panoramic whirlpool offers a fantastic view of the idyllic landscape from above. Depending on the weather, the outdoor pool can be used through the airlock. The sauna area has two outdoor log cabin saunas with a natural biotope, Finnish sauna, bio sauna, steam baths, Himalayan salt grotto, Kneipp pool and relaxation rooms. There is a separate ladies' sauna area with bio-sauna and loungers in the beauty pavilion. Anyone who takes a sauna, works out or swims laps naturally needs some well-earned relaxation afterwards. Comfortable loungers and double loungers with a fantastic view over the Black Forest and the beautiful sun terraces invite you to relax. There are also quiet islands for two to four people.

For more relaxation, there is a wide range of soothing treatments to choose from: massages, facial or body treatments, baths and wraps or traditional wellness rituals - alone or as a couple. The signature treatments from nature are also unique, such as special treatments with wild herbs from the Black Forest, massages with warm granite stones and fir oil or rubdowns with pine cones.

Original Ayurveda from Sri Lanka! Original Ayurveda treatments have been offered at the Vier Jahreszeiten am Schluchsee for more than 20 years. The Ayurveda center is integrated on a separate floor of the hotel and an Ayurveda doctor and specialists from Sri Lanka, the country of origin, carry out the holistic treatments. This means you can experience an Ayurveda cure with authentic treatments and experience the traditional philosophy of this millennia-old health teaching. The Ayurveda treatments, which last several days, include consultations, original Ayurveda treatments and the Ayurvedic nutritional concept. The team of therapists from Sri Lanka takes a sensitive and professional approach to the special needs and life situations of each individual guest, making each individual Ayurveda treatment a lasting pleasure.

Culinary: The aim of the Vier Jahreszeiten am Schluchsee is to offer hospitality at the highest level. This includes not only the best regional ingredients, but also imaginative creations. The legendary Vier Jahreszeiten gourmet breakfast buffet, for example, provides top-class indulgence, including a wide selection of gluten-, lactose- and dairy-free products. At lunchtime and in the afternoon, Café Gugelhupf invites you to enjoy small dishes and a large selection of cakes from the in-house patisserie. In the evening, 6-course menus with vegetarian / vegan alternatives or delicious à la carte dishes are offered in the panorama restaurant. The restaurant "Am Kachelofen" offers varied buffets with the best from the hotel's home region, the Black Forest, as part of the half-board (open depending on occupancy). In the cold winter months, the Schwiizer Stübli also opens for rustic fondue evenings. The evening ends with delicious cocktails at the carousel bar.

Sport & activity: Regardless of the season, the Black Forest offers unlimited outdoor opportunities. Whether hiking in the most beautiful natural surroundings, golfing on green meadows or cross-country skiing on well-developed trails. And if the weather doesn't play ball, the Vier Jahreszeiten am Schluchsee offers a wide range of indoor sports activities with or without supervision as well as well-equipped fitness areas. From A for entertainment to Z for informality - the hotel's guest services offer a varied program of activities and entertainment: sports and relaxation courses such as yoga or Pilates, guided hikes or e-bike tours, casino royal evenings with blackjack and roulette, quiz evenings and musical entertainment six evenings a week.
