It would actually be more appropriate to call Willi Stürz a master miner than a master cellarer, as he doesn't store his most valuable wine in the cellar, but in the mountain tunnel. This wine was even awarded 100 Parker points in 2019. A portrait of the exceptional Epokale from the Cantina Tramin - a bottle that has made history in South Tyrol.
Eating, chatting, being together - it doesn't take much for a successful meal. The houses of the Alto Group in South Tyrol show how it's done. They are places that tell stories and create stories. Places with charm that are simply there without pushing themselves to the fore. Places where culinary delights are celebrated together. Buon appetito!
A generational change in the hotel industry is always an opportunity. The renovation of the Park Hotel Franceschi in Cortina d'Ampezzo was entrusted to the South Tyrolean architecture and design studio NOA. A good choice: the combination of old and new is impressive
How do you capture the essence of a place? One way to do it is through language. Learning basic words and phrases doesn’t just show respect, it also helps you to understand the people and their region a little better. It’s particularly interesting in South Tyrol, where melodic Italian meets rustic Tyrolean, resulting in as many dialects as there are valleys.
All good things come in threes, so the saying goes. Among these good things is the trio of hosts at the Pfösl nature hotel. Brigitte, Eva and Daniel have created an oasis of well-being with a holistic concept in South Tyrol, near Bolzano.
The Alto Hotel Group not only owns fantastic hotels in South Tyrol, it also runs a brand for mindful experiences. With arise, body and mind are brought to new heights. Yoga and sound baths ensure personal growth. The stylish course locations in Bolzano and Lana are all'altezza and provide the perfect setting to shine.
Culinaria Living reaches for the stars not only because of its elevated position above the Merano region, but also in culinary terms. In the two apartments somewhere between the sea and the Alps, you feel just as much at home as in the Michelin-starred restaurant.
It's not quite a hotel, but neither is it a simple house with holiday flats. So how should we describe the Hofergut with its suites and flats in Reischach in South Tyrol? How about a holiday home.
Paradisiacal film evenings with Fellini, concerts with young talents in the moonlight, talks with inspiring artists or calming tea ceremonies - the events at the Alto Hotel Group locations provide inspiration, mindfulness and good vibes!
When a building is realised that deviates from what is otherwise customary in a village, it may initially be irritating. The Cantina Tramin in South Tyrol was no different, but the expressive building by architect Werner Tscholl is now even celebrated as a landmark of Tramin.
