The source of calmness. Diversity. Joie de vivre. The unique 5-star wellness hotel in the South Tyrolean mountains – at the source of wellbeing.
HIKING FUN
Magical meadows and stunning summits
Mountain peaks that are lit up by the sun. The aromatic scent of freshly-cut hay lying on the mountain pastures. Dark green forests where the treetops are swaying in the gentle breeze.
A nature experience that should be on your bucket list
Extended expeditions over hilly mountain pastures, through romantic larch and spruce forests, past original huts and lovely pastures. There are very few locations in which nature has remained as unspoilt as here. The mountainous world of the Dolomites is incredibly close and invites you to discover it step by step. Countless hiking trails can be reached directly from Fontis and 13 mountain lodges are there to spoil you with traditional dishes. You can quickly detach yourself from the hectic world and your stress at our own mountain lodge, the Uwaldalm, too. In winter and in summer, our vital coaches will accompany you to traditional mountain lodge meals or a barbecue there every week.
