Stories that come from life itself

The Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus has reached a crucial milestone on the path to comprehensive sustainability: we are proud to hold the EarthCheck Silver Certificate – an internationally recognized sustainability certification that aligns with the standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

This commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility is reflected in our holistic approach – from the use of renewable energy to the promotion of local products that enrich our guests’ culinary experiences while preserving our beautiful alpine surroundings. Our efforts extend beyond environmental protection and include supporting the local economy through close partnerships with regional producers and artisans. This cooperation helps to promote economic stability in our region.

With every step we take on this path, we invite our guests to become part of our vision - a vision not only focused on preserving nature but also on strengthening the community and providing our guests with a unique and enriching experience. Visit us and see for yourself how luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand.

At Hotel Hubertus, nestled in the majestic Dolomites, we offer our guests not only relaxation but also unique insights into the region’s flora and fauna. The area around Hotel Hubertus is a paradise for nature lovers. The Alpine flora captivates with blooming alpine roses, vibrant gentians, and the rare edelweiss. In summer, the mountain meadows transform into a colorful sea of blossoms. 🌸

The wildlife of the Dolomites is just as fascinating: with a bit of luck, you may spot golden eagles, marmots, or chamois in their natural habitat. 🦅 To bring this extraordinary nature closer to our guests, we offer guided hikes and nature experiences as part of our weekly program. This allows you to experience the beauty of Alpine flora and fauna up close – with all your senses.

It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the wonders of nature while enjoying a relaxing and enriching stay in one of Europe’s most breathtaking landscapes. ⛰️

In the heart of the Dolomites, we offer a fusion of sustainable architecture and luxurious design, masterfully implemented by NOA (Network of Architecture). Two of the most remarkable architectural highlights are the "Heaven & Hell" wellness platform and the Skypool, both impressing not only with their functionality but also with their extraordinary design.

The Skypool – An infinite experience above the peaks

The Skypool is a true masterpiece of modern engineering. Stretching over 25 meters, it offers a seemingly endless water surface that appears to continue into the sky. This architectural triumph not only maximizes the view but also harmonizes perfectly with nature.

The Heaven & Hell Platform – Architectural contrasts

The "Heaven & Hell" wellness platform unites two worlds: "Heaven" captivates with its open, light-flooded design, expanding the view towards the sky. In contrast, "Hell," with its earth-toned materials, provides a cozy ambiance.

Every element in the hotel's design is thoughtfully considered to create a harmonious balance between the natural beauty of the Dolomites and modern comfort. Visit us and discover how innovative architecture can redefine the boundaries of traditional hotel construction.

Imagine this: you’re sitting on our elegant hotel terrace, with the night sky stretching out above you like a sparkling carpet. Far away from the city lights, our hotel provides an extraordinary setting for unforgettable nights under the stars.

With a high-quality telescope, you can uncover the mysteries of the universe. Explore the craters of the moon, admire the glowing rings of Saturn, or lose yourself in the countless stars of the Milky Way.

Savor this magical experience with a glass of wine or a warm beverage, cozily wrapped in a blanket. Whether as a romantic moment for two, an adventure for the whole family, or a special occasion for passionate stargazers – gazing at the stars will captivate you and create memories to cherish forever.

Let yourself be enchanted by the wonders of the night sky and discover a side of nature you’ve never seen before!

A dip in our saltwater pool is not just a refreshing pleasure but also a true remedy for body and soul. Compared to traditional pools, saltwater offers a gentle, natural alternative that nourishes the skin and envelops your senses in a soothing embrace. The calming effect of salt helps release muscle tension and provides a deep sense of relaxation.

Our saltwater pool is the perfect place to unwind, let yourself be carried by the water, and rediscover a moment of inner peace. Immerse yourself in this small sanctuary and feel how stress and tension melt away, making room for complete well-being.

Christmas Eve in the mountains is a unique experience filled with peace and reflection. While snowflakes silently fall outside, the evening begins for many with preparations for the festive Christmas service. Chapels and churches, beautifully decorated, glow with the warm light of candles, creating an atmosphere that touches the heart.

Back home or gathered with friends and family, the highlight of the evening is the Christmas dinner. Traditional regional dishes, often simple yet full of flavor, reflect the values of gratitude and togetherness.

After the meal, the nativity scene is completed with the figure of the Christ Child, and the exchange of gifts brings joy and wonder, especially to the little ones. In many families, Christmas carols are sung or stories are shared, as the scent of pine branches and candles fills the room.

At the Hubertus the festive spirit reaches its peak on December 25th, with our Christmas celebration on the Hubertus Terrace. Under the open sky, lovingly decorated tables await you, offering fragrant tea, mulled wine, punch, Christmas cookies, "Zelten," and traditional Christmas “Stollen”. As a special highlight, each Hubertus guest family receives a Christmas gift – a token of our gratitude and joy in sharing this special moment with you.

"Cooking is like a journey through taste and tradition," says Chef Antonio. He invites us into the aromatic world of his kitchen where local ingredients are not just cooked, but celebrated, revealing how a deep connection with food elevates every dish he crafts.

Serves: 4 | Time: 2.5 – 3 hours

INGREDIENTS

800 g beef cheek
100 g tomato
100 g onion
80 g carrot
60 g celery (stalk)
30 g tomato paste
½ l red wine
½ l port
½ l beef stock or water
1 clove garlic
2 juniper berries (crushed)
4 slices dried mushroom
1 sprig thyme
1 sprig rosemary
1 sage leaf
½ bay leaf
1 tbsp. cold butter
4 tbsp. oil
Salt and pepper

Season the beef cheeks with salt and pepper and sear them in hot oil in a deep pan on all sides. Then remove the meat from the pan. In the same oil, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and sauté briefly. Deglaze with red wine and port, scraping the cooking residues from the bottom of the pan.

Return the meat to the pan and let the liquid reduce almost completely. Then add the beef broth (or water). Add juniper berries, thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaves, garlic, and dried mushrooms. Cover the pan and let it stew in the oven at 160-180 degrees Celsius for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning occasionally.

Strain the sauce through a sieve, bring to a boil, and reduce for 10 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency. Finish with cold butter and adjust seasoning. Slice the braised beef cheeks, serve with the sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs.

This is how a perfect day of skiing at Plan de Corones ends: with comfort, style and a touch of luxury.

Massages have been a proven method for centuries to promote physical and mental well-being. They not only improve blood circulation but also relieve muscle tension and support stress reduction by stimulating the production of endorphins and lowering cortisol levels.

To enhance your well-being, we invite you to treat yourself to the Hubertus pampering massage. Treat yourself to this special time-out aimed at revitalising you and restoring your inner balance. You have a choice of different emulsions - from nourishing and moisturising to soothing and firming options - specifically designed to maximise individual wellbeing and promote deep relaxation.

We also offer a wide range of other massage and beauty treatments designed to enhance all aspects of your wellbeing. Discover how our customised treatments can renew your body and mind.

Sustainability is a philosophy we live by, which is reflected in our use of natural resources. A central element of our environmental strategy is the management of our wood chip plant, which plays a key role in our energy supply. The wood chips are obtained from damaged wood that is carefully collected from the surrounding area. This process not only allows us to utilise energy from renewable sources, but also helps to keep the forests healthy by removing damaged and diseased trees.

To close the cycle of sustainability, we make investments in reforestation projects within the municipal area. Trees that are used for energy generation are replaced by new ones, thereby maintaining the natural balance of flora and fauna. These reforestation initiatives are an essential part of our efforts to minimise the ecological footprint of our hotel and preserve nature for future generations.

A bike tour from Olang to Lake Braies is a real highlight for nature lovers and cycling enthusiasts. The route leads through the picturesque landscape of the Dolomites and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

The route is about 20 kilometres long and requires a medium level of fitness, as it also includes some ascents. There are numerous opportunities to take a break and enjoy nature along the way. The section beside the river is particularly attractive, where the babbling of the water provides a calming backdrop.

Lake Braies itself, often referred to as the ‘Pearl of the Dolomites’, is the crowning glory of the tour. This lake is famous for its intense turquoise-coloured water and the dramatic mountain backdrop reflected in the clear water. Once you reach your destination, you can relax on the lakeside, hike around the lake or stop off at one of the local restaurants to enjoy traditional South Tyrolean dishes.

In summer, we recommend starting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds as much as possible.

Brunico, a charming little city in the heart of the Puster Valley, offers visitors a fascinating mix of cultural diversity and local tradition, especially at its lively markets. Every market day transforms the town into a colourful hive of activity, where fresh, local products such as South Tyrolean speck, cheese and homemade bread fill the air with delicious smells.

In addition to the culinary delights, the market in Brunico also offers an excellent opportunity to experience the local culture up close. Here you can meet the locals and find out at first-hand what makes life in South Tyrol so unique.

South Tyrolean apple strudel is a traditional dish that is deeply rooted in regional cuisine. This popular strudel combines crispy pastry with a savoury sweet filling of apples, cinnamon and sultanas. Ideal as a sweet end to a meal or as a festive treat, it delights palates far beyond the borders of South Tyrol.

The Monte Specie on the Prato Piazza is a popular hiking destination in the Braies Dolomites. The summit is most easily reached from the Prato Piazza car park, which lies at around 2,000 metres above sea level. This high plateau is known for its stunning panoramas of the surrounding mountain ranges, including the famous Three Peaks.

This moderately difficult hike leads through alpine meadows and sparse forests, following a well-signposted route. The summit of the Monte Specie, which lies at an altitude of 2,307 metres, offers a spectacular view of the entire Braies Valley as well as the more distant peaks of South Tyrol.

In addition to the impressive mountain scenery, the area is also known for its flora and fauna. In spring and early summer, numerous alpine flowers bloom on the meadows of Prato Piazza. The fauna is also richly represented with a variety of bird species and typical alpine animals such as marmots.

The hike to the Monte Specie promises unforgettable impressions and spectacular views that you won't forget.

Important: In the summer months, an online booking is required to enter the Braies Valley by car.

The inspiration for the drink came last summer, driven by a preference for basil in cocktails and influenced by the excellent Gin Basil Smash created by Jörg Meyer at the Lion Bar de Paris in Hamburg in 2008. This cocktail sparked an interest in the combination of basil and cucumber, which led to the idea of combining these ingredients in a homemade syrup.

In order to give the mixture an additional visual and taste accent, consideration was given to how the green colour of the syrup could be intensified by an additional component. The decision was made to integrate a mango mousse, which is not only visually appealing, but also complements the herbal, botanical flavour of the syrup with a fruity note. When developing the recipe, the challenge was to balance the proportions of the ingredients to ensure that all components work harmoniously together. The result is a cocktail whose colouring is a reminder of the green of nature and the bright summer sun.

The Skyscraper at Kronplatz is a spectacular giant swing that offers thrill-seekers a unique experience high above the South Tyrolean mountain landscape. A cable hoist lifts you to about 15 meters in height. Once at the top, you unhook yourself, and the extraordinary swing adventure begins. This is not for the faint-hearted.

This fascinating leisure activity combines adrenaline and breathtaking views in a unique alpine setting. The swing allows visitors to soar high above the ground, enjoying a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding mountain ranges.

Did you know that the Hotel Hubertus already exists since 1984? At that time, it was a small guesthouse with only a few rooms. In order to increase the occupancy rate, the Gasser family founded two travel agencies for bus tourism in 1992. Gradually, renovations and extensions were carried out. Already in 1994, the first investment in sustainability was made and a wood-chip heating system was built. An absolute highlight of the hotel is the Skypool, which was completed in 2016. However, this amazing construction was not the end of the expansion work. It was followed in 2022 by the construction of the free-floating wellness platform Heaven&Hell with its relaxation room. A unique architectural masterpiece.

"Taking a bath in the atmosphere of the forest". This is how the Japanese health trend Shinrin Yoku can be translated - or simply: forest bathing.

Who doesn't know the revitalizing feeling that comes over you when you breathe in the fresh air during a short walk in the forest and immediately feel much more relaxed and balanced? The forest has an enormous healing potential, because in addition to relaxation, it provides stimulation without being too demanding. In a mindful interaction with the forest, one can rediscover one's natural balance.

Here are three exercise suggestions for you:

1 Feel your roots

Find a comfortable place in the forest, where you can stand safely and steadily. You are also invited to take off your shoes. Close your eyes. Now consciously pay attention to your breath flow and feel how you absorb energy from the forest air with each inhalation and how you let the blockages and stress flow away with each exhalation.

2 Sensory journey

For this exercise, too, first find a comfortable place. Breathe in and out deeply three times and then focus your attention on each sense in turn. What do you see? Look at the forest around you. Then close your eyes. What do you hear? Keep your eyes closed and then try to feel the forest atmosphere. What do you feel? Finally, take a few deep breaths. What do you smell?

3 Mindful walking at a snail's pace

Choose a path in the forest and move forward as mindfully as possible. Try to feel every movement - every step, every push and roll of the foot. Does the forest floor feel dry, damp, cold, warm, soft or uneven? What can you feel under your feet?

A workspace of creativity, exceptional taste and inspiration. - This is how the newly opened restaurant in Brunico by the internationally renowned top chef and South Tyrol's only 3-star chef Norbert Niederkofler can be described.

The new restaurant “Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler” is located in the former executive villa of the cloth factory Moessmer, which is one of the oldest and most renowned fabric producers in the world.
In addition to seasonal menus, the Atelier also has space for some of Norbert Niederkofler's signature dishes as well as new creations.
The fact that high cuisine addresses issues such as sustainability, short cycles and supply chains with local producers and farmers, as well as seasonality, is thanks to Niederkofler. 

“I want to inspire the world with the spark of ethical cuisine, to change the way we eat, work together and live.” – Norbert Niederkofler

It is therefore not surprising that he was one of the first to be awarded the "green Michelin star".

How can you not feel like having a special culinary experience in a unique atmosphere here?

All of us know that there is nothing as delicious as fresh bread for breakfast. It couldn't be a better start into the day. A good mood is pre-programmed! 🤗

The daily trip to the bakery is no more necessary. You can simply bake your own bread at home! As a part of our weekly programme, we will show you how to shape the bread loaves and bake them in a traditional bread oven. Of course, you can then also taste the homemade bread. 😋

To ensure that the bread is as delicious at home as it is at the Hubertus, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 kg rye flour
• 200 g wheat flour
• 10 g of yeast
• ca. 3/4 lt water (lukewarm)
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon Bread clover (gypsy)
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon fennel

Preparation:

Mix the flour and spices, make a pit, add the yeast mixed with tepid water and knead everything into a soft dough. Then leave the dough to rest in a warm place for approx. 1-2 hours, shape it, place it on a floured towel and leave it to rest again for 30 minutes. Then bake the bread at 220 degrees for about 45 minutes.

What a delicious taste! 😍

We are already very excited and can't wait to welcome you and your pet here at the Hubertus. See you soon! 🐶

In the first moment it may not seem so, but our Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus is way ahead regarding sustainability. If you take a look behind the facade, you will immediately notice that we have already taken a number of initiatives to contribute to sustainability. The jury of the Green Travel Award also recognised this and awarded to us the first prize in the category "Best Bio Spa". We are now the proud owner of this award - but don't worry - we will definitely not rest on our laurels but will also in the future strive to provide our guests with a sustainable stay.

Sustainable energy production is of particular importance to us. Here at the Hubertus, heat and electricity are generated autarkically with the help of the in-house wood chip plant, the photovoltaic system and additionally from water energy. However, this is not the only thing we do to contribute to sustainability. If you are curious and would like to learn more about our concept, please take a look at the 10 reasons why we are sustainable.

You don't have to hop on a plane to experience the traditional Indian art of healing, because we offer you the best Ayurveda massages in the middle of the Dolomites.

There is nothing more grounding and inspiring than time spent in nature. Winter hiking opens our eyes to the essential things in life.

Sometimes we just need a little break. A little break from everyday life to reorganise our thoughts and recharge our batteries. Want to know what helps us? Wrapping ourselves up in warm winter clothes, getting our dog ready, and heading into the boundless nature that surrounds our hotel at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz. In our immediate vicinity there are countless beautiful winter hiking trails that take you into the solitude of the mountains. One of our absolute favourites is the legendardy Fanes Alm in the heart of the Dolomites. It almost seems as if the bizarre peaks, which tower far into the deep blue winter sky, are a trellis for the winter hikers. The impressive path winds its way from Pederü up to the Fanes Alm, where you can stop for a bite even in the coldest of seasons, before you make another detour to the Fanes Pass. The view that you get enjoy from up there … it fascinates even us South Tyroleans again and again.

We will be happy to tell you more insider tips for winter hiking in person.

See you soon!

It must reach the ceiling, be finely dressed, and not be perfect. Know who we're talking about? The Christmas tree, of course, which belongs in every good parlour at Christmas time.

Every year, we get excited like little children as we start looking for the perfect Christmas tree. Needless to stay,  we always find it in our local forest, as it’s not only in our cuisine that we place great value on regionality. Our tree is a real South Tyrolean, so to speak, which reaches the ceiling of our hotel in Olang. Growing Christmas trees is a science in itself in South Tyrol, as is the date of felling the tree, which ideally takes place after full moon. Once the natural beauty is set up in the parlour, we give free rein to our creativity. Sometimes we go for Tyrolean simplicity, other times for dazzling glamour – just let yourself be surprised in which garment our Christmas tree will be awaiting you this year. We have a tip for all those who would like to bring a piece of South Tyrol home this year: decorate your Christmas tree according to old South Tyrolean tradition – with real South Tyrolean apples, (home-made) gingerbread, stars made of straw, and red candles. This Christmas tree not only delights the eye, it also pampers the palate.

We wish you a wonderful Christmas time!
