The Seiser Alm and Lodging’s History

Once Upon a Time There Was a Pasture ...

The Zallinger has been here at the foot of the Plattkofel mountain for quite a while. Originally, the mountain hut was called “Sassegg”, meaning “hill by the big Sas”, which refers to the Plattkofel towering above it. “Zallinger”, on the other hand, was the surname of the man who bought the hut in 1854. Ever since – and at the hands of Luisa and her late husband – a lot has happened. Our timeline offers a detailed list of events.

1958

Inauguration of the Zallinger Chapel. It all began with a small alpine farm with livestock.

Late 1950s

The simple alpine farm transformed into a mountain hut that, for the first time, welcomed overnight guests during the winter.

1990

Luisa became part of the Zallinger team and began running the hut together with her husband Hans.

1993 – 1999

The hut was transformed into the new mountain residence called “Berghaus Zallinger”. Twelve new double rooms with en-suite showers and toilets were built. The common rooms and the kitchen were also remodelled.

2011

A small spa area with sauna and relaxation romm were added.

2017

The Zallinger Dolomites was completely remodelled and turned into what it is today.
