Your best slowdown
experience
begins here...
"As you drive up the road from Bolzano through the wide gorge, you can't imagine that the last turn towards Deutschnofen opens up onto a sun-drenched plain, hugged by one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the Dolomites: the Latemar and the Rosengarten."
Slowdown value: Sunny plateau with
panoramic views
The Pfösl Hotel is nestled right in the middle of this sunny glade. The wide meadow surrounded by woods feels like an oasis of relaxation from the moment you arrive, as the hotel is somewhat isolated, surrounded only by nature - the woods and the mountains in the background.
The hotel and garden have been designed so that at every turn you can find a corner where you can enjoy a cup of coffee, tea... and a »slowdown« moment of the day, overlooking the magnificent surroundings.
Slowdown value: A location that gives you the best of both worlds — the freedom to disappear into nature, with the mountains and their experiences always within reach.
Pfösl occupies a rare position in the South Tyrolean mountains: secluded enough to feel completely removed, yet close enough to local life and the region’s best outdoor experiences. Surrounded by open meadows, forests and mountain landscapes, the hotel offers an exceptional sense of privacy and quiet, with little to interrupt the view or the rhythm of nature.
Yet this feeling of remoteness comes without isolation. Obereggen and Passo di Lavazè are within easy reach, while nearby villages offer a glimpse into the everyday life, culture and traditions of South Tyrol.
Our advice: stay a little longer.
Pfösl is the kind of place that reveals itself slowly. Give it more than a few days and the pace begins to change — mornings feel quieter, time stretches and the surrounding landscape becomes part of the experience.
Once the noise of everyday life has settled, there is space to appreciate what makes this place special: its secluded setting, thoughtful design and holistic approach to wellbeing. At Pfösl, slowing down is not an activity on the programme. It is simply how the days unfold.
"Here you will find the space to enjoy holistic rejuvenation and make peace with yourself. Move around in the clear mountain air, savor our regional dishes, and let us pamper you in our wellness area." HOTEL PFÖSL
Slowdown value:
Sunset, in its most elemental form
At Pfösl, sunset feels less like a daily spectacle and more like a return to something instinctive. As the light slips behind the mountains, the landscape takes on a slower rhythm — the kind that makes you pause, look up and simply stay for a while.
There is something almost primal about the experience. Not primitive in the literal sense, but elemental: a quiet reconnection with nature, light and the passing of time. No programme is needed. Just a mountain horizon, changing colours and the rare feeling of being exactly where you should be.
New ECO lofts
A slower way of living, thoughtfully designed around body, mind and nature.
Slowdown value: Living the Slowdown
The Forest Chalet & Eco Lofts are designed around a simpler idea of wellbeing: creating a home that feels good to live in. Natural materials, considered interiors and a close relationship with the surrounding landscape make the spaces feel less like accommodation and more like a healthy retreat from the pace of everyday life.
Here, wellness is woven into the details. Wood, natural textures and carefully chosen materials create a warm, tactile environment that encourages you to slow down and reconnect with the senses. Even the everyday rituals are considered — from natural cosmetics in the bathroom to a special base bath salt, used as part of an evening shower to gently cleanse and refresh the skin.
Slowdown Value: At Pfösl, the art of slowing down continues long after the lights go out.
At Pfösl, even sleep is treated as part of the slowdown ritual. The rooms feature a Schramm Sleep System developed exclusively for the hotel, combining a supportive base mattress with a more responsive top layer in a carefully balanced two-mattress construction.

The result is less about technology for its own sake and more about how a bed should feel: supportive, quiet and deeply comfortable. After a day in the mountains, it offers the simplest kind of luxury — a good night’s sleep, with time and space for the body to properly reset.
"Having a good sleep during holidays is one of the most important aspects of rejuvenation and self-regeneration, here all is dedicated to ensuring the healthiest sleeping experience."

"Absolute privacy and a feel of living in a small wooden cabin on the edge of the forest, but having all hotel facilities included.

Breakfast RITUALS
Breakfast is a truly mindful experience that makes you feel happy and gives you the energy to start your day with joy. On the buffet counters, you'll notice their love for sustainability and their desire to reduce waste - all ingredients are served in glass containers, or placed on stone pedestals, and none of the food comes in plastic.
Slowdown value: Mindful breakfast
The breakfast menu, as the first meal of the day, is thoughtfully designed. Most of the main dishes and ingredients are of local and regional origin, with an emphasis on organic sourcing.
Breakfast is served as a buffet, yet you'll find freshly prepared traditional dishes, complete with freshly prepared products guaranteed to revitalize you and fill you with energy in the morning. Freshly squeezed detox juices, hand-picked homemade teas, freshly cut vegetables, locally sourced yogurts, and cereals that you mix yourself or choose from the flakes prepared the natural way.

360 REGENARTION
CONCEPT
Pfösl is dedicated to well-being also with one of the largest wellness areas in our portfolio. A great starting point to really cultivate your own mini daily "slowdown" rituals to restore your energy.
Slowdown value: The 360° art of regeneration
Pfösl’s 360° regeneration concept takes a simple approach to wellbeing: slowing down should involve the whole day, not just an hour in the spa. Rather than treating wellness as a collection of treatments, the hotel builds small rituals into the rhythm of a stay — movement, nourishment, rest, nature and time to simply do nothing.
The idea is to gently shift your attention away from the outside world. A morning in the mountain air, a considered meal, a sauna, a quiet moment of stillness or an evening spent watching the landscape change all become part of the same ritual: giving the body time to recover and the mind space to settle.
"The 360° approach is about creating the conditions for regeneration — allowing sleep to deepen, breathing to slow and the senses to reconnect with their surroundings.

Slowdown value: The power of calm
At Pfösl, yoga is less about performance and more about creating a pause. A session offers a simple way to step away from the noise of everyday life, slow the breath and give the mind some space.
The hotel has two dedicated yoga rooms, both thoughtfully designed as quiet places to retreat. Natural materials, generous light and a sense of simplicity create an atmosphere that feels calming from the moment you enter.
"It is one of Pfösl’s gentler slowdown rituals — an hour to stretch, breathe and reset, with no particular goal beyond feeling a little lighter when you leave. " SLOWDOWN HOTELS
NATURA food concept
Seasonal and fresh, from the garden, from the local farmers, from the heart.
Slowdown value: A taste of nature
At Pfösl, food is considered the first pillar of wellbeing — and the kitchen treats it with the same care as the hotel’s approach to rest, movement and nature.
We were invited to see the philosophy behind Pfösl’s food for ourselves — stepping into the kitchen to watch the process from close by. What becomes clear is how much time, care and patience goes into the preparation.
There is something refreshingly honest about the approach. Local ingredients, much of them grown in Pfösl’s own garden or sourced from nearby farmers, are treated with respect rather than overworked. Vegetables are harvested, prepared, fermented and preserved with the seasons in mind, turning the abundance of summer into something to enjoy long after the garden has quietened.
"For Pfösl, eating well is another form of slowing down — knowing where food comes from, taking time to enjoy it and allowing a meal to become part of the wider experience of living well."
HOTEL PFÖSL
Slowdown value: The philosophy is simple: good food should nourish as much as it delights.
It is food made with time and intention, where the connection between garden, kitchen and table remains visible. The result is genuinely delicious — not because it follows a wellness formula, but because good ingredients, careful preparation and a little patience are difficult to improve upon. A cuisine that feels closely connected to its surroundings and to the rhythm of the seasons.
SLOW corners
Pfösl is a hotel with a plethora of different corners to spend time in the spirit of "just sit and enjoy", and
'breathe and let be'.
