On the Alpe di Siusi

at the Zallinger
with Luisa & Markus

the world is as it should be. That is not surprising: At 2,054 m above sea level you are high enough to be able to forget the hustle and bustle of your everyday life for the moment. Noise and hustle and bustle are strangers to us - our ears are filled only with the sound of bells and the neighing of our Haflinger horses. Otherwise you are surrounded only by peace and quiet, a panorama to stir the heart and hosts who know how to spoil you.

Arrive another way: by Almtaxi!

Here you cannot just get into the car and drive up to the Zallinger! Even before you arrive at our mountain hotel your holiday adventure begins. That is because you leave your car down below in Altria, get into our Almtaxi and let it bring you up to the Zallinger. In winter we replace our taxi with a snow vehicle, which makes the journey through the white splendour of the snow even more exciting. What distinguishes us from a conventional hotel is checking in. With us it is totally uncomplicated. The group sitting in the Almtaxi checks in together - quite simple.
To take a sudden fancy to go shopping in the town - that is not so simple here, unless you decide on a defined short outing, when our Almtaxi drives down into the valley, which happens only a couple of times during the day. You can also come back up only at certain times. Unless, of course, you are a good walker - then feel free to hike to the Zallinger. We will soon get your tired legs fit again, never fear!

We look forward to chatting with you!

The Zallinger stands where it has been since 1854, in the most beautiful of spots. We - Luisa and her nephew, Markus - could not imagine a better place for it. We let you see how much we love our mountain house and feel at home here. From the first hearty welcome to the honestly meant 'Auf Wiedersehen' or ' till we meet again' you are in the best of hands with us.

"Hello!"

"Come in!"

Be tempted

Have you already succumbed to the temptations of South Tyrolean cuisine? If not already tempted, you will be as soon as you smell the food at the Zallinger. You are fortunate: the selection is not too large and you will have no problem in feasting on all the delicious, original specialities of our region. If there are ingredients you cannot tolerate, we will of course, discuss this with you. The important thing for us is that you are comfortable with us. Incidentally, you will not find gourmet creations on our menu - but you will find a 3-course menu with fresh, seasonal and regional ingredients. Apropos: here at the Zallinger we eat punctually at 7 pm - we all sit down together and enjoy the meal and that is also much more sociable. And for the schnapps at the end of the meal you need someone, to whom to propose a toast!

Hungry? Come along here!

MEALTIME AT THE ZALLINGER

Made for snuggling down

A good day always begins with a good night. So you will be pleased that as well as our guest rooms in the main house we can now offer new Alpine chalet rooms . In these you breathe in the healthy scent of larch-wood and gaze from the bathroom on the unrivalled mountain world outside. If you actually become tired of the view, we can bring a television into your room for you. Mind you, if you want to surf the Net you must leave your cosy nest. We have WiFi only in certain places. You will find it very easy in any case to sleep like a log in any of the Zallinger's rooms.

Here you can have a good sleep!

From Zallinger's weather sayings:

"If the sky is blue and clear,
we'll have fine weather, never fear!"

It is worth getting up in the morning!

Even if sleeping in the really cosy Zallinger rooms is fine, the Zallinger breakfast tempts even the keenest late risers out of bed - even if you have first of all to walk from your chalet room to the main house, whatever the weather. All you have to do is to follow the prompting of your rumbling stomach and the scent of fresh coffee and crisp bread rolls. Home-made specialities made from regional delicacies are ranged on our breakfast buffet, from which you will not be able to tear your gaze.

Time to bring your body into rhythm!

Of course, you can do nothing but gaze in wonder at the natural scenery all around the Zallinger, but we would recommend that you go out and discover it. There are more than enough opportunities on the Alpe di Siusi. How about a leisurely hike or even a thrilling tour through the mountains? Perhaps you would like to swing into the saddle of your mountain bike and pedal off? In winter tobogganing is great fun and stamping across the plateau in snow-shoes is an experience you will want to tell your grandchildren about. What about it? Have we tempted you to an activity?

Open the front door and set off into the natural world!

An afternoon pastime, which could become addictive

What could be nicer after a few adventurous hours in the open air than to doze and marvel at the mountain world? Do this on the sun-drenched terrace of the Zallinger! There you won't know which is the more sensational: the magnificent view or the soothing peace and quiet, which surrounds you. We think that the combination of the two makes it a perfect experience. Sunbathing as you marvel at the majesty of the mountains is almost too good to be true. Almost too good...

MOUNTAIN PANORAMA

There has to be some spa,

to fill the world with sunshine! Mind you, we are not a wellness hotel, but at the Zallinger for all those who like to perspire we do have a Finnish sauna, a new panoramic sauna and a Turkish steam bath with colour therapy. Afterwards, a refreshing shower in one of the experience showers is a real boon. In winter you can also cool off straight away outside in the fresh snow. Finally, in the new panoramic relaxation room on the first floor you can relax, doze, browse through your favourite book or let your thoughts fly over the Alpe di Siusi. Nothing could be more relaxing!

Simply let tension slip away!

Relaxed from 0 to 100!
