Amidst the picturesque mountain landscape, at an altitude of 1,100 meters and yet only 8 kilometers from Bolzano, the Hotel Saltus is located right on the edge of the forest.
The family-run eco-hotel offers its guests a breathtaking view of the forest and the majestic Dolomites. A perfect retreat for all those who are looking for rest and relaxation for body and soul. Here you experience hospitality that has been passed on for four generations. Mother Hedwig and her two daughters Claudia and Nadja are currently running the hotel.
With its 28 rooms, the hotel meets the highest standards of aesthetics and ultimate comfort. As a guest, you can feel the harmonious combination of tradition and modern design as well as a feeling of solidarity everywhere. The interior was designed according to the wabi-sabi principle and strikes a good balance with old design classics. The rooms are large and flooded with light, designed in warm brown tones and strongly influenced by the forest and the surrounding mountains.

Sustainable
ArchitectureMany local building materials such as larch wood, beeswax or red porphyry were used for the construction of the hotel.
FoodThe food at the Hotel Saltus is almost exclusively seasonal and regional and, where possible, according to the Slow Food concept (e.g. the ham from the Villnösser Brille sheep). The hotel also has a large herb and salad garden and sources these ingredients locally. No convenience products are used in the hotel kitchen and guests with vegan, vegetarian and allergy-friendly preferences are catered for. An evening menu is always vegetarian or vegan.
The owners support the club life in the village financially and gastronomically. They are also investing in a project for efficient cooking using biomass instead of coal in China.

Testimonials
Umrahmt von der eindrucksvollen Landschaft des mystischen Saltens und des UNESCO Weltnaturerbe Dolomiten, erstreckt sich das Eco Hotel Saltus auf 1.100 Metern Höhe und besticht mit einer ganz besonderen Atmosphäre. Hier werden Nachhaltigkeit, Naturerlebnis, Design, Komfort und Ästhetik großgeschrieben. Es ist ein Ort, an dem Loslassen leichtfällt und die Seele zur Ruhe kommt – fern von Hektik und Alltag und doch nur acht Kilometer entfernt von Sütirols sonnigster Stadt Bozen.
Auf 1100 Metern Höhe, in Alleinlage am Waldrand, die Holzfassade des Hotels verschmilzt mit den Kiefern ringsum. Alles scheint weit weg, und doch ist Bozen nur acht Kilometer entfernt. Lärchenfassaden und viel Glas ummanteln den Betonkern, für die Böden wurde Porphyr aus dem Bauaushub zurückbehalten, die mit Bienenwachs versiegelten Wände sind aus Lehm und Kalk. Es gibt ein Spa auf Waldbodenebene, und durch die bodenbündige Verglasung blickt man aus den Saunen auf nichts als Natur. Ebenfalls ein Highlight: der 17 Meter lange Infinity-Pool auf der Dachterrasse.
Nachhaltigkeit, die einen Schritt weiter geht – das ist das Versprechen hinter dem Saltus. Schon bei der Planung war der Umweltgedanke zentral, die Wahl von Lärchenholz für die Fassade, von Kalk für Böden und Wände war daher naheliegend.... ein Gebäude, das sich als Rahmen für das Kunstwerk Natur versteht und diese mit vielen Maßnahmen schützt: Vom 99 Prozent chemiefrei betriebenen Forest Spa über ermäßigte Zimmerpreise bei Anreise mit der Bahn bis hin zur Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energien, zur Einhaltung kurzer Lieferwege und der Beteiligung an Wiederaufforstungsprojekten.
