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.

All five senses on the fifth floor: awaken your spirits at the very top of the Bergland! The Sky Spa above the rooftops of Sölden is breathtaking. A 2,200 m² wellness retreat with a constant view of the mountains surrounding Sölden. The local mountain, Nederkogl, a three-thousand-meter peak, greets bathers in the indoor pool as well as in the panoramic outdoor whirlpool. 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!

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!

Breathe deeply. Recharge your batteries. Feel-good moments for body, mind and soul!

Look forward to Well & Wine. Both are deeply rooted in our family and our hotel. We combine experiences around the 2000-year-old natural and cultural landscape of the Moselle with the special effectiveness of the grape.
