The Location – right on the lake. Peace and Dolomite views.
Hotel Weihrerhof is located right on Lake Wolfsgruben, with a private jetty and direct access to the water, for swimming in summer or natural ice skating in winter.
At 1,200 metres above sea level, on the Ritten plateau, one of the sunniest high plateaus in the Alps, you enjoy wide views of the Dolomites. From the top of the Rittner Horn, the view stretches a full 360°. Walking and hiking trails start right at the hotel. In winter, snow-covered paths lead through the peaceful landscape.
Despite its close-to-nature setting, the Weihrerhof is easy to reach, just 30 minutes from Bolzano, by car or comfortably via cable car and Ritten railway. The RittenCard is included in your stay, making public transport even easier.
Sun, lake, mountain air and far-reaching views, this location is a gift, all year round.
