nature .
Quiet forests and fast descents. Gentle and wild. The activities that await you are as diverse as the nature of the Val Sarentino.
North of Bozen, it runs idyllically through the Sarntal Alps. A wildly romantic landscape of pristine nature, mountains, alpine pastures and scattered hamlets. Thanks to its location, it is rightly called “the heart of South Tyrol”. Weissenbach is situated at the sunny end of the valley at an altitude of 1,335 m. Centrally located enough to explore South Tyrol beyond the valley floor. Secluded enough to truly unwind.
In summer you can expect clear paths, tranquil mountain lakes and scenic high-altitude trails. Hiking, trail running, mountain biking, via ferrata – everything is close together in the Val Sarentino. Starting in summer 2026, Judith will regularly lead tours that suit your pace and show you places you would hardly find on your own. Those who prefer a quieter environment should stay in the valley: Forest bathing, walking paths, small farms and rustic wooden benches that invite you to linger.
The highest and longest suspension bridge in South Tyrol! Admire the view and learn more about the fascinating history behind it on the adventure trail.
Discover the Sarntal valley countryside on horseback and let the breeze of freedom sweep over you. Four riding stables offer different possibilities for this.
For a refreshing dip on hot summer days, you will find a small outdoor pool in Sarnthein.
Why not combine your trip to the Penser Joch with the blooming of the alpine roses? From mid-June to mid-July, experience a view you’ll never forget.
What better way to enjoy the hotel’s wellness area than after a hike through the crunchy snow? Wander through snow-covered forests and be impressed by the clear views down into the valley and to the surrounding peaks. With snowshoes you can also explore untouched slopes. Cross-country skiers can find the entrance to the cross-country ski trail 20 metres below the hotel, and things can get faster in the nearby Reinswald ski area.
