Stunning views, exquisite cuisine and natural luxury are but a few highlights of Hotel Gnollhof. W inter is a happy, cosy season at the Gnollhof hotel, which faces the winter sun and is protected from icy winds by mighty spruce trees. Offering a place to relax with contemplative days and peaceful nights, the family-run resort is perfect for invigorating winter holidays complete with wellness, gourmet dining and crisp mountain air. At an altitude of 1,160 metres, there’s a clear view of snowy meadows, forests and the Dolomites. Thanks to its stunning views and tranquil location, Gnollhof has been attracting guests since 1888; the location hasn’t changed, but now you can relax in the inviting infinity pool or luxuriate in the outdoor hot tub. Afterwards, spend some me-time in the daylight-flooded relaxation room, sweat it out in one of the three saunas or swim laps in the indoor pool. The clouds dancing across the sky and the ever-changing light invite guests to engage with nature, even while indoors. The natural setting is reflected in the beauty and massage treatments that use natural products, in the rooms and suites with their pale wood panelling, the panorama dining room and the parlour, where a crackling fire is lit in the open fireplace every morning. EXPERIENCE WINTER AT ITS MOST MAGICAL. Together with their staff, hosts Margit and Peter Verginer create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for guests to enjoy memorable moments surrounded by nature. Holidays at Gnollhof are shaped by ample opportunities to enjoy nature in various ways, from gentle and sedate activities, such as organised hikes on foot or on snowshoes across the surrounding slopes, to more strenuous winter sports, of which there are many to choose from, including a ski safari with a shuttle service that takes hotel guests to a different ski area in the Dolomites every day. Those who enjoy fine dining and good wine will appreciate Gnollhof’s culinary offering. Alongside the fine wines grown in the local Taschlerhof vineyard, the wine list includes a wide choice of classic wines and rare vintages – all fabulous accompaniments to the gourmet creations prepared by the Gnollhof culinary team under the expert guidance of chef Peter Verginer. The focus is on traditional recipes with a Mediterranean twist, resulting in delicious, highly imaginative dishes.
