1,400 metres above ordinary life, this is a place of unique vitality. In the mountains of the Puster Valley, Barbara and Horst Peintner have opened their home to guests. They welcome visitors with warmth and hospitality, showing them how beneficial it can be to spend time in a calming place in the midst of nature, where you can recharge your batteries.

The Biohotel Gitschberg in Meransen stands for sustainability in practice, a deep connection to nature and an incomparable panoramic location high above the Val Pusteria. As an organic hotel, it attaches great importance to regional value creation, ecological materials and the responsible use of resources.

The small village inn first opened its doors in the early 1970s. Back then, the owner would personally pick up guests from the train station in his tractor, as there was no road. Today, decades later, much has changed, but one thing has remained: the closeness to nature and the heartfelt hospitality.
In 2008, Horst, the owner's son, took over the business and made nature a central to its identity. Three years later, it became South Tyrol's first climate hotel, and in 2013, it was awarded the seal of approval for sustainability. Today, the hotel presents itself as a modern, energy self-sufficient organic hotel surrounded by a unique landscape of forests and meadows, offering a front-row seat with panoramic views from early morning to late evening and air that simply does you good.

Together with his wife, Barbara, and a wonderful team, Horst brings the concepts of genuine hospitality, enjoyment and sustainability to life. The hotel's own cellar stores premium South Tyrolean wines, including organic, natural and Piwi varieties. In the "Wine.Atelier", Horst, also a sommelier, organises wine tastings in collaboration with local winegrowers. The kitchen relies on over 90 per cent organic ingredients, preferably from the region, for its cuisine. Horst and Barbara are certified organic, creative and passionate, and they bring their two great loves to the table: herbs and wine. A particular highlight is the weekly 'Forest, Wine and Meadow' menu, where local herbs and fine wines are perfectly paired.

The Fenilia spa offers individually tailored treatments inspired by traditional Alpine naturopathy, providing the perfect opportunity to relax.
