Griaß di
Even Aunt Lisl knew that in addition to mountains and well-fluffed pillows, you also need a good meal, a cozy place to relax, an open heart and good food for a really good gut feeling. That was over 70 years ago.
Since then, we as a family have gone many new ways to preserve this special feeling of home and to reinterpret vacation for you. Our wellness and hiking hotel Gassner **** superior has grown out of the small forest guesthouse - and the pretty Gassner tree house too.

As a genuine family business, we are the perfect complement, because we could hardly be more different. Together with our wonderful Gassner Seilschaft, we bring a lot of warmth, charm and life into the hotel. That's probably why so much of our work is so individual and varied.
Come and join us and be surprised by the wonderful way in which our contrasts attract you. Mia gfrein ins auf di!

Before, after, instead or in between - you can mix everything with everything for a relaxing break.

On at least 5 guided hikes, we, hiking guide Monika and boss Hans-Peter Gassner, would like to introduce you to the diversity of nature in the surrounding mountains, hike with you through blooming alpine pastures and climb over perpetual ice to the region's panoramic peaks.

We would like to accompany you on snowshoe and winter hikes to the idyllic snow-covered places of the Hohe Tauern National Park and show you personally how renewing it can be to walk at eye level with nature.

Gassner tree house
Wonderfully close to nature and also a little off the beaten track. 147 m² all to yourselves. A retreat for newlyweds, longtime lovers and the whole family. We believe that when it comes to togetherness, you need a particularly cozy place on this earth and so our dream of an extraordinary vacation nest is yours.

There are many beautiful houses. But the most important thing is the people who live in them, laugh together and do their best together. So feel free to speak from the heart and meet us at eye level.

The project, commissioned by the three brothers Andreas, Christian and Alex Goller, represents their dream come true and embodies their passion for hospitality, love of nature and life’s pleasures.

As you can tell by name of the hotel, the amiable hoteliers place particular importance to their land and family: in fact, Santre is a mashup of "San" for Sant’Andrea and "tre" for three brothers.

But what makes this destination special? On one hand is the incomparable location of the structure, located on a sun-kissed hill with a spectacular view of the mountains and the Isarco Valley. On the other hand, the many recreation and relaxation choices, ranging from sports in the countryside together with your hosts, to moments of regeneration in the spa, to excellent food and wine offerings. Nothing is left to chance: attention to quality and detail are a constant in every area.

Case in point: the 62 suites with an enchanting view, furnished with handpicked natural materials and decorated in warm tones. Even in the dining room, your gaze can get lost on the horizon, while your palate is delighted by traditional and innovative dishes based on fresh, regional ingredients.

In addition, some of the unmissable highlights are exclusive wine and cheese tastings and our iconic lounge with cocktail bar. In the wellness area, there is an adults-only space with a Finnish sauna, as well as the location dedicated to events and Aufguss sessions, clay sauna with herbs, Turkish bath, gym, beauty treatments, whirlpool and relaxation room, and an area reserved for children. In the mythic.garden, there is a natural lake where you can cool off on warm summer days. The highlight is undoubtedly the indoor/outdoor infinity pool, 22 m long with a view on the surrounding peaks.as far as the eye can see.

The Gollers feel at their best amid the alpine landscapes. Here, they involve guests in an exciting programme full of activities: hikes, mountain bike tours, climbing in summer, skiing and sledding in winter, and regularly organized excursions accompanied by expert guides. At Santre, everything contributes to making your holiday a truly memorable one.

culinary

You can enjoy regional, Italian and international dishes, starting with the rich buffet breakfast and ending with the varied 5- or 6-course menu.
