South Tyrol Lake Hotel – Experience Lake Time at the Weihrerhof

A hotel by the lake in South Tyrol is more than just a holiday destination – it’s a retreat between sky and water.
The Weihrerhof, on Lake Costalovara on the Renon plateau above Bolzano, blends peace, authenticity, and gentle movement.
A place where every season sounds different, and nature invites you to pause – perfect for your South Tyrol lake holiday.

Simply Be – The Feeling of the Lake

This is not a hotel stay, this is lake time.
At the Hotel Weihrerhof on Lake Costalovara, you’ll find a touch of original silence – in the heart of South Tyrol, on the sunny Renon plateau, with views of the Dolomites.
Surrounded by 100,000 m² of nature and located right by the water, this is a space for mindfulness, movement, and joy.
Days begin barefoot on the jetty and end with the mountains mirrored in the lake.
In between lies simple being – clear, calm, and real.

Summer by the Lake – Swim, Row, Smile

In summer, Lake Costalovara becomes a natural swimming pool with water temperatures of up to 26 °C. Guests of the Weihrerhof swim from the private jetty, row to the small island, or simply drift. Here, the gentle sound of water replaces music. Those seeking movement will find it: cycling through the woods, playing tennis on the artificial grass court, or joining a yoga session on the meadow. Then, the lake awaits, as a mirror, as a friend, as refreshment.
Summer at the Weihrerhof feels light, clear, and filled with sunshine, wood scent, and lake green.

Autumn by the Lake – Mist, Colour, Clarity

In autumn, the lake becomes a stage for stillness. The forests on the Renon glow in gold and copper tones; soft mist dances over the water. It’s a time for slow walking, deep breathing, and quiet gazing. Walks around Lake Costalovara lead through chestnut groves, past hidden benches and viewpoints with Dolomite panoramas. In the afternoon, enjoy a cup of tea on the terrace as the sun casts a warm light over the water.
Autumn at the Weihrerhof means time for the essential, and perhaps the most beautiful lake holiday in South Tyrol you can imagine.

Winter by the Lake – Ice Crystals and Fireside Warmth

When the lake freezes, a new kind of magic begins. Lake Costalovara turns into a glittering ice surface surrounded by snowy forests. The mountain air is crisp and silent, the only sound is the crunch of snow underfoot. After a walk through the winter landscape, the boathouse sauna and steam bath bring back warmth. The windows mist over, the white lake stretches outside, and you feel what arrival truly means.
Winter at the Weihrerhof isn’t a spectacle but a retreat, an invitation to experience South Tyrol’s winter by the lake.

Spring by the Lake – Awakening in Green

With the first sunrays, the water begins to stir again. The ice melts, frogs croak, trees come to life. Spring on the Renon smells of earth, moss, and new beginnings. It’s the perfect time for walks, small forest adventures, or a morning boat ride. When the breeze touches the lake, it seems to tell stories of renewal, lightness, and nature’s rhythm.
A perfect start to spring, and the right moment to book your South Tyrol lake holiday.

Lake Time & Spa – Relaxation by the Water

Lake time means reconnecting with nature.
In the Weihrerhof’s SeaSpa, wood meets warmth, and steam meets space.
The sauna lies directly on the lakeshore, the relaxation room smells of pine, and in summer, the clear water invites a refreshing dive.
Massages with natural cosmetics, Kneipp stream, and sun deck offer gentle balance.
Wellness at the Weihrerhof isn’t luxury – it’s a return to the source: Feel inside the outside.

Cuisine by the Lake – Honest, Local, Seasonal

Breakfast by the lake is a promise.
With homemade jam, bread from the Niederstätter bakery, cheese from Wolfhof farm, herbs from the garden, and honey from Plattner Beekeeping Farm.
In summer, meals are served on the terrace, overlooking the Sciliar and the lake.
In the evening, each dish tells a story – of the region, the season, and the people who cook with love.
Here, regionality isn’t a trend – it’s a principle.
