Puristic Eco Design Meets South Tyrolean Hospitality
Ecohotel Saltus is Seasonally Open from April to December
26 Rooms | 2 Suites | Spa | Pool | Restaurant
Above Bolzano, nestled in the forest, Ecohotel Saltus welcomes its guests with South Tyrolean cordiality and sophisticated aesthetics. Its 26 minimalist-designed rooms and 2 suites, furnished with vintage pieces and natural materials, nuance the colors of the surroundings. The rooms open up to the spruce forest with large windows and balconies. Local larch wood, linen, adobe walls, lime floors and an unclouded forest view exude a strong connection with nature even inside.
This hotel's main themes are wellness, letting go and becoming one with nature. The outdoor Sky Pool, filled with fresh mountain spring water, offers a gorgeous view of the mountains. A meditation path leads to the Forest Spa with saunas, relaxation and yoga room. Join the Saltus Relaxation Program and combine various meditation and relaxation techniques such as yoga and forest bathing with outdoor activities like jogging, hiking, and horseback riding. In the rooms and in the spa, you will be pampered with Susanne Kaufmann's clean beauty products.
South Tyrolean hospitality also comes alive in the restaurant and bistro. Regional dishes with seasonal ingredients from local farmers await you here. As a climate-neutral hotel, the Saltus Ecohotel relies thoroughly on local products and is involved in the reforestation of local forests.
Environmental responsibility is rewarded: travel comfortably and sustainably by train and save 5% of the room rate.

HOLIDAY IN SAN GENESIO/JENESIEN
An eight-minute cable car ride connects San Genesio/Jenesien and the lively city of Bolzano/Bozen. At 1,100 metres above sea level, a small mountain village with a population of barely 2,000 has preserved something that is as precious as it is rare. It is situated between the Salto/Salten, Europe’s largest larch plateau and the Monzoccolo/Tschögglberg with its rolling slopes and lush pastures.It is home to the Haflinger horses and a hiking area that offers 800 kilometres of varied and undiscovered natural scenery.
Location
At an altitude of 1,100 meters, high on the mountain and yet only 8 km from Bolzano, the Hotel Saltus is located right on the edge of the forest.
