Alpine Farm and Boutique Hotel at the Foot of the Alpe di Siusi
25 Rooms | 1 Restaurant | Sauna
MEA VIA is a thoughtful design hotel and family-run farm. With its location at the foot of the Alpe di Siusi, it is a paradise for nature lovers, slow food enthusiasts and architecture fans. At over 1,400 meters above sea level, you will find peace and beautiful nature.
Precious local wood, natural stone, linen, and leather dominate the understated elegance of the 25 rooms and suites. Here, timeless design meets a love of nature. Large window fronts, sun terraces, freestanding bathtubs, and king-size beds create feel-good spaces.
A slow lifestyle is practiced by the entire family. Adjacent to the MEA VIA, the Pitschieler family runs a traditional farm. The owner family Pitschieler is committed to the preservation of rare breeds of farm animals. Thus, Tyrolean gray cattle, Pustertaler Sprinzen, Magalitza pigs and Villnösser Brillen sheep can be found here.
Much of what is offered in the Bulla restaurant comes from their own agriculture. In the afternoon, Grandma Barbl spoils the guests with homemade cakes. Then in the evening, the chef brings alpine cuisine interpreted in a modern way and the sunny taste of southern Italy to the plate with a 5-course evening menu. The wines at MEA VIA all come from small-structured farms that are committed to preserving the environment and, of course, do not use chemicals.
Relax in the cozy spa area with its panoramic mountain sauna, organic mountain herbal sauna and mountain spring water steam bath, as well as a relaxation room with hay beds. Fragrant wood, Grödner mountain meadow hay, called fën, and precious essences create restful moments.
Whether on skis, by bike or on foot: the mountain landscape of the Alpe di Siusi invites you to be active at any time of the year. Three times a week the hotel offers guided mountain hikes free of charge. In winter, skiers can access Dolomiti Superski directly from Val Gardena. Here you will find wonderful powder snow and the largest ski carousel in the world.
