Sustainability high above Bolzano
High above Bolzano, at 1100 meters, sits the small village of Jenesien. With a breathtaking view over the surrounding forests, you’ll find the Eco Saltus, a hotel in harmony with nature.
April 5, 2021
An oasis of peace can be found when climbing the serpentines from Bolzano to Jenesien. High above the town, surrounded by woods and attached directly to the traditional Tschögglbergerhof, South Tyrol's first eco-hotel awaits its guests. Those who want to arrive in the spirit of the hotel and its sustainability concept can do so by train and gondola, for which there is even a five percent discount on the stay. You can still be mobile with the hotel's e-bikes or public transport. The nature around Jenesien invites you to hike and discover beautiful spots. Hafling is not far away and also a ride on one of its signature horses, a „Haflinger“, can be arranged. In the evening, guests stroll into the main house and enjoy the finest regional cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with a perfect wine selection. The hotel bar also offers a variety of drinks, a real highlight is the sparkling wine from the Arunda Sektkellerei from the neighbouring town Mölten!
Recharge your batteries physically and mentally
You can simply relax in the Forest Spa. The gold and brown walls convey a sense of tranquillity and there are always small, undisturbed niches to sit back and read in silence. In addition to classic treatments, digestive treatments are also offered. Products from Susanne Kaufmann and La Ricina complete the spa offers. Yoga and meditation can be practiced daily.
