Glaciers, cross-country trails, quiet paths and wide summits: the Pitztal mountain winter starts right outside our front door.
High above the valley lies the Pitztal Glacier – snow-sure, wide and with a magnificent panorama of countless 3,000-metre peaks. With the GuestCard, the ski bus takes you to the valley station free of charge in around 5 minutes.

Mountain winter, moments of enjoyment and a look behind the scenes of the Rainer family.
Very friendly owner family, lovely spa area, huge breakfast area and a fantastic view towards the Pitztal Glacier. A more than well-deserved full 5 stars!
Very nice, clean hotel in the best location for a holiday in the mountains. Very good food prepared with love. The breakfast buffet left nothing to be desired.
A family-run hotel (3rd generation, with the 4th already waiting in the wings!) with modern, cosy and very clean rooms. Highly recommended!
