Vitalpina Hotel South Tyrol

An all-round wellness experience at Gassenhof

The Vitalpina Hotels quality guarantee

Here at Erlebnisort Gassenhof, we specialise in helping you experience South Tyrol in all its rich variety – and with all five senses. As members of the Vitalpina Hotel consortium, we let our love for nature and our surroundings inspire us in providing great value in all things sports, nutrition and wellness.

Having grown up here, in the mountains of Ridnaun, we are deeply rooted and aware of all the beauty and goodness our land offers. You can’t beat local! That’s why we so enjoy going out for walks, playing sports together and immersing ourselves in nature. That’s also why we honour all things regional and seasonal by turning fresh, healthy ingredients into light, flavoursome dishes that are good on the palate and gentle on the stomach.

And finally, that’s why we harness the power of local herbs and blossoms for our wellness treatments.
