The Ahrntal Valley in summer is a sanctuary of silence and strength. Pristine nature, the steady murmur of wild waters, and the striking silhouette of over 80 three-thousand-meter peaks.
Here with us at the Bühelwirt in St. Jakob, you will find the ideal starting point to experience the alpine landscape in a completely relaxed way and at your own pace.
Step by Step. Hiking and Arriving.
Hiking from the hotel doorstep. Gentle, sun-drenched paths and rustic alpine pastures begin directly at our house. One step outside, and you are in the midst of pristine nature.
Peak happiness in the nature park. For those seeking the heights, the challenging trails of the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park and the eternal ice of the glaciers await.
Effortlessly into the heights. With the Klausberg and Speikboden cable cars, you can easily reach the most beautiful panoramic trails. Your advantage in early summer: In May and June, you can use these ski lifts completely free of charge as our guest.
Power of the Element. Water.
Mountain lakes and quiet clarity. The Ahrntal is rich in clear, wild water. Feel the refreshing mist of the Reinbach Waterfalls or find peace by secluded mountain lakes – such as the idyllic Klaussee, the pristine Waldner See high above Prettau, or the majestic Neves Reservoir.
On Two Wheels.
Landscape in passing. Whether relaxed pleasure cycling along the Ahr on the flat valley floor or sporty excursions by mountain bike and e-bike up to the mountain sites: nature opens up here for every pace.
Aria Pura. Health and Regeneration.
Breathe deeply in clean air. Our valley is a certified clean-air region. The special, pollen-free microclimate in the nearby Prettau Climate Stollen is a blessing for the respiratory tract. Combine this natural healing power with mindful forest bathing directly behind our house – or with a clarifying yoga session in our light-filled movement room.
When the Mountains Take a Break. Culture and Retreat.
A rainy day in the Ahrntal is an invitation to slowness. And to the discovery of our valley's culture – completely relaxed without a car:
Excursion to the town of Bruneck. In just 35 minutes, you can reach the charming center of the Puster Valley. Stroll through the historic town alleys or visit the Messner Mountain Museum Ripa at Bruneck Castle. With the free South Tyrol Guest Pass, you can use the public bus for free – the stop is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
Experience history at Taufers Castle. The mighty knights' castle transports you to past centuries, while the Mining Museum in Prettau grants deep insights underground.
Craftsmanship and tradition. The Maranatha Nativity Museum in Luttach and the Mineral Museum in St. Johann show the deep connection of the people with this region.
Simply be at the Bühelwirt. Use the time for a good book in your minimalist design room, listen to the rain, and relax in our sauna.
