The Location – right on the lake. With sun, 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.

Weihrerhof is situated on Lake Wolfsgruben, above Bolzano, on the sunny Ritten plateau in South Tyrol. Surrounded by forest and calm – yet easy to reach.
Bolzano is about 18 km away – roughly a 30-minute drive or cable car ride. Great for day trips, but also perfect to escape the city.
Right by the lake, surrounded by nature. No through traffic, just quiet trails, bathing spots and lots of space to unwind.
Yes. Take the Ritten cable car from Bolzano to Oberbozen, then the Ritten railway to Wolfsgruben. From there, it’s a 10-minute walk to the hotel.
There are some guesthouses within walking distance. The centre of Oberbozen is about a 30-minute walk or just a few minutes by car or with the Ritten railway – there you’ll find various shops for your daily needs. The Weihrerhof itself enjoys a peaceful and private location – right on the lakeshore.
Weihrerhof is located at 1,200 metres above sea level, right by the lake – perfect for summer freshness, ice bathing or skating. The hotel is surrounded by about 100,000 m² of natural grounds – with woods, meadows and plenty of space to breathe. Hiking trails start right at the doorstep, and the climate is pleasantly fresh – with lots of sun and peace.
Straight to the lake. Here’s how to reach the Weihrerhof on the Ritten.

How to reach us from the Resia Pass
