Our lake tales the blog
Tales and moments, mysticism and magic
History or stories? Dream or reality? The boundaries between reality and fiction blur almost imperceptibly. The cuckoo murmurs, the pine whispers, the little brook gurgles. And they all tell stories of their experiences and fantasies. Around the Wolfsgrubner Lake.
Why a 23-room hotel created its own skincare line: BergSea in SPA direkt magazine
Producing small quantities is expensive. So why would a family-run 4-star hotel with just 23 rooms create its own skincare line? At Hotel Weihrerhof on Lago di Costalovara in Renon, our answer is simple: because BergSea is part of our identity. In September 2026, the specialist magazine SPA direkt also tells this story.
KlausWhy did we create BergSea?
BergSea was created in 2013 together with Vitalis, now TEAM DR JOSEPH. Our SeaSpa had already been working with the South Tyrolean company’s plant-based natural skincare. Our own line grew from this partnership and from the wish to make the character of the Weihrerhof tangible through skincare, too.
A central element is the water of Lago di Costalovara. Our guests swim in it, row across it and sit along its shore. With BergSea, they can take a little piece of it home.
Does an in-house skincare line make financial sense for a 23-room hotel?
From a purely financial perspective, creating an in-house skincare line is not the easiest route for a hotel of our size. Small quantities make production relatively expensive. But for us, not every detail has to generate as much revenue as possible. Some things are there primarily to express where you are and what makes this place distinctive.
BergSea is one of them.
What does SPA direkt say about BergSea?
In its article “Ein Stück Urlaub für zuhause”, SPA direkt looks at in-house skincare lines created by different wellness hotels. The section about the Weihrerhof explores how BergSea came about, the water of Lago di Costalovara and why we chose to create our own line despite the small production volumes involved.
