Back to nature at the center of the world

Holidays that are better when they're unusual

Our 4-star hotel in South Tyrol for wellness and hiking, the Waltershof in Ulten, is surrounded by lush meadows, fragrant forests, and ancient farmsteads. The characteristic architecture paired with artistic flair gives the 'Wällnässen' with medicinal herbs from the Ultner mountain forests in our 4-star hotel in South Tyrol a special charm.

 

One of the last valleys in South Tyrol where rural culture & lifestyle are reflected in every corner and where herbal witches simmer "healthy wellness elixirs" and hiking fairies unearth long-forgotten natural treasures. The Waltershof in Ulten is a playground for active people, connoisseurs, and nature lovers—an insider tip at the gateway to the south.

Winter in Ulten is awesome

Vacations that promise more

Are you longing for authentic mountain flair? Then come and stay at our hotel in the Ulten Valley! On snowshoes, we will guide you to special places of power such as the Schusterhütte and the tranquil Kofelraster lakes. We will give our full attention to nature and immerse ourselves in a conscious experience of all the senses. Afterwards, you will find an oasis of rest and relaxation in our wellness area. The Ulten Valley combines traditional mountain villages, unspoiled nature, and warm hospitality without neglecting exciting winter adventures. In the small but beautiful Schwemmalm ski area, not far from our hotel in the Ulten Valley and one of the most rustic alpine pasture areas in South Tyrol, skiers of all ages can dance on the snow on 25 kilometers of slopes.

Digital detox on a hiking vacation

It is the constant stream of news, likes, and appointments that pulls us into a vortex and gradually obscures our view of real life. Digital detox on a hiking vacation gently clears our heads and makes us happy (again).
