Panorama hotel at the end of Val Casies, South Tyrol – view via webcam

Valley’s end with wide views

Some places talk a lot. This one prefers to listen. Even on the way up here it becomes clear – everyday life is far away. Here at the head of the Val Casies, quietness grows stronger. The genuine becomes tangible. The pace pleasantly slow. Those who travel with open eyes meet curious deer, golden sunrises, and thoughts they’ve never had time for before. Perhaps it’s this mix of panorama, peace and vastness that makes many stay longer than planned …

So close to the outdoors

Nature is at its most beautiful here: unspoilt, pristine and everywhere.
Hiking boots, snowshoes, skis or bike? It doesn’t matter. Whoever wants to head out only needs to open the front door of our panoramic hotel in South Tyrol and getting going.

A panorama

… that goes under your skin.

To the left the Croda Rossa (3,146 m) and the Piccola Croda Rossa (2,859 m), to the right the Croda del Becco (2,810 m) – and between them lie the quiet local peaks of the Val Casies: the Monte Alto (2,593 m), the Monte Spina (2,417 m), the Cima di Colle (2,494 m) and the Passo di Casies (2,205 m). Mountains that sharpen the senses – and open the heart. Each day begins with sweeping views – and ends beneath a sky carrying more stars than you’ve ever seen.

A summer

… full of possibilities.

Enchanted paths, far-reaching high-altitude tours, varied biking trails.
Routes winding through blooming meadows. Mountain pastures and huts that seem from another time. More than 50 of them can be found in the Val Casies. Whether summit adventures, a leisurely tour, or a quiet picnic at the edge of the forest – whoever sets out here arrives somewhere deep within themselves.

A Winter

… that entices you outside.

Crunching snow underfoot, glittering slopes in the morning light, air that tastes of silence. Right opposite the hotel: the small ski lift – family-friendly and never crowded. Just a stone’s throw further on, the cross-country network begins, stretching through the whole Val Casies. Kilometre after kilometre in your own rhythm. Afterwards: daydreaming in panorama sauna and tea by the fire – the next winter’s day already awaits.

A transition

… that lets nature breathe.

When the last snow melts or the leaves turn, the valley shows its gentle side. Those who wish can go hiking. And those who have nothing planned simply let themselves drift: with the light, the wind, the art of gentle idleness.

Here the road ends – and nature begins. No traffic noise, no light pollution, no “faster, higher, further”. Instead: deer in the meadow. The murmur of a brook outside the window. Starry nights that smell of childhood.
