OLM NATURE ESCAPE

Introduction:

​

The moment you enter OLM Nature Escape, something shifts. Perhaps it is the circular architecture, perhaps the way the building opens itself to nature, or simply the feeling of leaving the outside world behind. Everything seems to slow down. The gentle rhythm of the circular spaces invites you to pause, breathe and experience your surroundings differently.

​

Light in nature creates a movement of colours.

"Perhaps this is the most inspiring lesson OLM has to offer: the future of sustainable hospitality is not about having less, but about living better, with a little more awareness and a different understanding of luxury."

 

 

Slowdown Value:  Holisitc sustainability

​

OLM is an energy-self-sufficient eco-aparthotel and a true green powerhouse. Its bold, circular architecture is the first hint that something out of the ordinary is happening here. The moment you enter, you begin to understand that the building itself is part of the experience – designed around nature, shaped by the elements and guided by a thoughtful approach to resources.

Slowdown Value: "It's like entering to a new world"

​

What makes OLM so compelling is how naturally its sustainable philosophy becomes part of everyday life. You don't need to think about making conscious choices; the architecture, the energy concept and the connection to the outdoors do much of the work for you. Instead, you simply experience the pleasure of being somewhere that feels good in every sense.

​

At its heart, a curated garden recreates the atmosphere of a forest, complete with a lake, while each room opens towards the outdoors, offering complete privacy and an immersive connection with nature.

"The new luxury is to disappear from the life where you constantly need to belong and prove you are enough and own the right things that will empower your life."

Slowdown Value: A new treat for cycling enthusiasts: at OLM, you can bring your training routine right into the privacy of your suite.

​

An indoor bike setup can be arranged on request, turning your room into a personal training space with nature just beyond the window. Whether you're keeping up with your fitness goals or simply looking for a different way to stay active during your stay, it is a fresh take on the active escape – where training and slowing down go hand in hand.

Nature-inspired SPA

 

 

Slowdown Value:

Water world – the elixir of life and relaxation

​

At OLM Nature Escape, water is more than an element of wellness; it is at the heart of the hotel's circular ecosystem and a source of natural balance. Integrated into the centre of its architectural circle, the water world creates a place dedicated to slowing down, restoring energy and reconnecting with the elements.

​

The heated swimming pool invites you to begin the day with an early morning swim or unwind in the water long after the afternoon has faded, staying open until 9 pm. Just alongside, a natural pond offers a refreshing contrast, with its cool water providing the perfect invigorating dip after a sauna session.

 

​

 

 

Water world is open until 9pm each day.

"Water world with rivers, glaciers, lakes, and waterfalls from the area is somehow connected to their natural swimming pool. 
A simple yet powerful ritual of warmth and cold, movement and stillness – a reminder that sometimes the most effective form of regeneration is found in nature's most essential element: water."

The saunas

​The slowdown ritual we particularly love at OLM is the outdoor Finnish sauna. Surrounded by water, the experience almost feels like floating between the elements, with nature becoming part of the ritual.

 

After a warming sauna session, step straight into the natural swimming pond for an invigorating cold-water plunge. The contrast between deep warmth and crisp, refreshing water leaves you feeling wonderfully renewed. A simple yet powerful ritual of heat, cold and nature – and one of those moments when you truly feel the art of slowing down.

Unwind your body

A perfect place to find a corner for your personal mindful exercise.

 

 

Slowdown Value:

At OLM Nature Escape, nature is never somewhere you need to travel to – it begins right outside your door.

 

For quieter moments, retreat to the hotel's thoughtfully curated inner garden. Designed as a sheltered green oasis, it offers a sense of privacy and seclusion, with nature as its most soothing companion. Whether you seek an active escape or a moment of stillness, OLM makes reconnecting with the outdoors feel entirely effortless.

 

Set in a landscape that invites you to step outdoors, the hotel makes it effortless to move between indoor comfort and the open air. Set off for a walk, explore the surroundings by bike or make use of the open-air fitness facilities, where movement becomes part of the natural rhythm of the day.

 

 

Culinary freedom

Slowdown Value: 

At OLM, dinner is never quite the same twice. Guided by the culinary calendar of the OLM kitchen, Culinary Chef Berni Aichner – who spent many years as Sous-Chef to three-Michelin-starred chef Norbert Niederkofler – has created an original dining philosophy called Lust nach Genuss.​

 

The idea is simple: make every evening an invitation to discover something different. Each day of the week brings a new culinary experience, giving guests the freedom to shape their own way of dining. Whether you prefer to prepare something yourself in the privacy of your apartment or reserve a table for one of the themed dinners, the choice is yours.

Slowdown Value: Our favourite way to experience dinner at OLM? Without a doubt, their apéro-style evenings.

​

Think of a long, leisurely gathering where dinner unfolds at its own pace: a succession of small, creative plates, flavours to discover, glasses raised and conversations that linger.

There is no rush to sit down for a traditional multi-course dinner. The evening moves freely between tasting, sharing and socialising. A little more spontaneous, a little less formal, and all the more memorable. Exactly the kind of dining experience that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

​

 

Slowdown Value: New culinary events

​

Adding an element of surprise to the culinary experience, the hotel introduces a fresh concept that welcomes guest chefs to take over the kitchen. Each residency brings a new creative perspective, transforming the menu and inviting guests to discover a different culinary dimension with every visit. A thoughtful approach to seasonal dining, where unexpected flavours and fresh interpretations make every stay a little different.

We experienced OLM × Michaela Frank as a meeting of culinary worlds, where the bold, aromatic character of Asian cuisine found a new expression in the traditions of South Tyrol.

For 14 days, Michaela joined forces with Berni Aicher, bringing fresh ideas, unexpected flavour combinations and a little culinary theatre to the table. Each evening unfolded as a new chapter, reinterpreting regional classics through an Asian lens and revealing a different side of OLM's culinary identity. A dialogue between two cultures, with local roots and an adventurous spirit.

 

If Asian flavours are your thing, mark the same period in next year's calendar. This is a culinary encounter worth returning for.

Mindful mornings

"OLM Nature Escape is a place that is a little different. A home for those seeking peace and free spirits who embark on a journey to the source of life force in the constant rhythm of nature. Out of the mainstream, OLM takes you by the hand and shows you what counts."
OLM NATURE ESCAPE

Slowdown Value: Slow morning rituals

​

Breakfast is one of our favourite moments in Olm Nature Escape. But we make a whole ritual out of it. Before breakfast, start the day with gentle swimming to slowly wake up the body or awaken your muscles with gentle yoga.

 

In every year period is so beautiful to start the day outside and then enjoy a long breakfast with selected local and eco-certified products. The breakfast area offers super comfortable corners to enjoy the first meal of the day and prolong it with a coffee moment.
