Alpine Wellness since 1977

Our Alpine Wellness in Sexten includes the rustic mountain village sauna, an indoor pool with a view of the peaks and an outdoor pool heated all year.

The four pillars of Alpine wellness

The Alpine Wellness at our wellness hotel in Sexten rests on four pillars: restful sleep, a healthy diet, exercise in the fresh mountain air and time to feel good.

During the refurbishment in spring 2025, a new outdoor area with an outdoor pool, outdoor sauna and whirlpool was created. For your whole stay, we give you a spa bag with a bathrobe, bath towels and sauna towels.

The idea behind our Alpine Wellness

It was grandfather Franz Happacher who laid the foundations of our Alpine Wellness. In 1969 he welcomed the first guests in Sexten, and in 1977 he extended the hotel with a wellness area, one of the first hotels in South Tyrol to do so. Even then he relied on the nature around the hotel. Since then we have expanded what we offer step by step and to this day we work with what the mountains give us.

Our 4-⁠star hotel lies in the heart of the Sexten Dolomites. When you arrive, the first thing you see is the rock faces of the Sexten Sundial, which rise up right in front of the hotel.

What makes Alpine wellness special

We combine what nature right outside our door provides with time-honoured knowledge and today’s methods.

Mountain air

The mountain air is right outside the door, and on our guided hikes you discover new paths.

Water

Clear and clean, the water comes down from the mountains. Here it flows through the Kneipp stream, fills the baths and is ready to drink as spring water.

Plants

Hay and herbs come from the meadows all around. We use them for baths, scrubs and wraps.

Rock

Many kinds of rock shape the South Tyrolean mountains, and natural stone from the area gives our mountain village sauna its character too.

Mountain village sauna made of Swiss stone pine and natural stone

Our mountain village sauna is a quiet place, reminiscent of an old farmstead typical of the area around Sexten, and it smells of Swiss stone pine. You can work up a sweat in the Finnish Swiss stone pine sauna, the Tyrolean bio sauna, the Turkish steam bath or the infrared cabin for two. Strong or gentle, with aromas or without: you decide.

After the sauna, you cool off under the waterfall with the Kneipp stream or under the tropical shower. To relax, you retreat to the Selchküche, the open-air relaxation area or the large relaxation room, and anyone who still fancies a swim swims a few lengths in the indoor pool.

Hay wrap, scrubs and massages based on traditional recipes

After a long day’s work, our ancestors enjoyed soaking in a bath, and we continue this with our baths, scrubs and wraps, for example the hay wrap that smells of Sexten mountain hay.

For massages, facials and beauty treatments we work to old recipes, using plants and stones from the South Tyrolean mountains. It is best to book your treatment together with your enquiry.
