Daydreaming.

Imagine waking up surrounded by the breathtaking mountain scenery of South Tyrol's Ulten Valley, surrounded by unspoiled nature and clear Alpine air.

You step out onto the balcony of your cozy room at the Natur pur Hotel Unterpichl and the morning sun finds its way through the striking peaks of the Ortler Group to caress your cheeks. A perfectly equipped hiking group has already gathered in front of the entrance to your vacation accommodation. At the center of the action is Armin, hotelier and hiking concierge at the Natur pur Hotel Unterpichl, who is preparing the group for today's tour.

As the unspoiled Ulten Valley is inherently quiet, you can hear his words as the team of six sets off on an alpine hike. Armin loves hiking in the Ulten Valley – the fragrant alpine meadows with daisies and arnica, the cheerful "hoo hoo" of the hoopoe, hearty mountain huts with traditional South Tyrolean cuisine, and the moments of freedom and harmony that an alpine tour brings. Inspired by his passion, you decide to join the group.

Reality check.

Finish your morning routine, put on your hiking clothes, pack your backpack, and borrow hiking poles from Natalie at the reception desk. Fortunately, Armin and his hiking group are in no hurry, so you can easily catch up with them. At the Unterpichl hiking hotel in the Ulten Valley, stress and worries are quickly forgotten – thanks to the Schwienbacher family and their dedicated team.

The alpine hike leads through dense fir forests, over mossy ground, past clear mountain streams, and up to colorful alpine meadows. The air is fresh, filled with the scent of herbs along the way. Away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, you can immerse yourself completely in nature and feel its harmony while hiking in the Ulten Valley. Armin tells you about the special flora and fauna of the Ulten Valley, allowing you to lose yourself completely in the unspoiled nature.

Fairy tales.

After your alpine hike, relax your feet in the hot tub with massage jets before settling down in a hammock with an exciting book. At dinner, stylishly set by Julia, you can enjoy the culinary delights of the Hotel Unterpichl. Gertrud, hotelier and chef, and her hard-working kitchen team are known for their exquisite cooking. The homemade organic pasta, the addition of fresh herbs from the Ultner Kräuterreich Wegeleit herb garden, and the use of seasonal and regional products are particularly characteristic of the outstanding cuisine at the Natur pur Hotel Unterpichl.
