Gassenhof experience center

They are legendary – both in the Ridnaun Valley and beyond the borders of South Tyrol. And they create legendary things: the brothers Manni and Stefan Volgger. Warm hosts at the Gassenhof adventure resort in Ridnaun, inventive connoisseurs of schnapps distilling and coffee roasting, resourceful businessmen selling local products, and passionate hiking guides who know the region inside out.

Hiking hotel & Mount Becher

With the Wanderhotel Erlebnisort Gassenhof in Ridnaun, the two brothers have created an oasis of well-being that goes far beyond a classic hotel. Here you will not only find relaxation in the breathtaking nature of South Tyrol, but also culinary experiences that will remain in your memory for a long time. But the Volgger brothers wouldn't be themselves if they were content with just a magnificent hotel. Their latest masterpiece: the Mount Becher Genusshaus – a place that combines enjoyment and adventure and takes the philosophy of the Erlebnisort Gassenhof to a new dimension.

Mount Becher: A culinary experience in Ridnaun

The name "Mount Becher" pays homage to the famous Becherhaus, which sits at an altitude of 3,195 meters at the end of the Ridnaun Valley. Since March 2024, the Volgger brothers have been combining their passions in a unique world of experiences at Mount Becher: award-winning schnapps, home-brewed beer, handmade cheese, and freshly roasted coffee. Each of these four worlds of indulgence has its own place at Mount Becher – and together they create an experience that will enchant all your senses.

Manni Volgger's spirits and beers

Manni Volgger is a true genius behind the stills. His spirits and liqueurs are award-winning, especially his multi-award-winning London Dry Gin and the unique single malt whisky that matures in the heights of the Becherhaus. This unusual storage gives the whisky an alpine note that makes it unmistakable. But Manni doesn't just shine in the field of spirits. His beer is also a highlight that delights more than just guests at the Gassenhof adventure resort. Whether light, red or hoppy – every bottle is brewed with passion in his own brewery. Stefan Volgger: Cheese artistry and coffee magic Stefan Volgger is a master cheese maker. His in-house cheese dairy produces truly unique cheeses that are known for their creaminess and spicy flavor. The cheese is not only a treat, but also a piece of home. And because enjoyment – not only at the Gassenhof – begins with breakfast, Stefan has also dedicated himself to coffee. In the in-house roastery, each bean is carefully refined so that you can start your day with a perfect espresso.

Manni makes his own schnapps. More culinary experiences await you at the Wanderhotel Gassenhof.
