Spring on the Renon at Hotel Weihrerhof on Lake Costalovara

Spring on the Renon tastes like a beginning

At Hotel Weihrerhof on Lake Costalovara, clear water meets soft paths and wide light, with quiet, warm rooms. Days grow longer, air turns mild. Outdoors blossoms, indoors you find peace. Lake time is mindful, natural, and free. The day begins on the jetty and ends in the lake’s silence. In between: movement, warmth, and taste. Being here. Feel inside the outside.

Waking up at the lake

The morning begins on the water. A short walk to the jetty wakes the senses. Step into the lake for a moment if you like. Or take a brief row. Breathwork at the shore clears the mind. Then breakfast awaits. Regional, fresh, and calm. Tea warms your hands. Light settles on the lake. The day opens without rush.

 

Active mornings

Now the places to just be bring you close to nature. A silent loop starts at the hotel. Stops include the jetty, the pine forest, the small island, the garden brook, and the lakeside deck by the boathouse. You pause, listen, sense. No explanation needed. The body grows light, the gaze widens. Connection deepens with each step.

A ride across the water

Stay light at midday. The Renon Train takes you to Soprabolzano with no effort. A coffee in the sun feels good. Seekers of quiet choose the rowboat. The water’s surface expands. Back at the hotel you find calm. Perhaps an afternoon snack. A book on a lounger by the shore. A short nap in the warmth. Anything can be.

 

Discover the Ritten

Movement gifts broad horizons. A gentle loop leads to the earth pyramids. Count on 60 to 90 minutes from the hotel, depending on your pace. Want more? Take an e-bike toward Corno del Renon. It’s about 15 to 20 km with 600 to 800 m of elevation gain. Alternatively, tennis with the ball machine. Then warmth in the spa. Your heartbeat settles.

 

Dinner with a view

Evening belongs to the lake. The surface reflects the last light. Inside, a quiet dinner awaits. Herbs, vegetables, clear flavors. A glass of South Tyrolean wine. A brief walk to the jetty. Hand on the wooden rail. The sky changes gently. Night brings depth. The day ends with a smile.
